A set of storyboards for the cut [[alphamoon]] level can be found in Wilson's post, showcasing an encounter between the Arbiter and the Heretic leader [[Sesa 'Refumee]] similar to that of the gas mines, but instead taking place in the wreckage of the [[Control Room (Installation 04)|control room]] of Installation 04.

The two would begin listening to Spark, only for the crack of a [[Vostu-pattern carbine|carbine]] to interrupt Spark, and the camera pan down to showcase the Heretic lifting a blood-soaked hand from his chest. The shooter would then be revealed to be [[Tartarus]], who subsequently captures Guilty Spark and then executes the now-injured heretic leader before walking away. | ||

These early storyboards for The Great Journey showcase the ending, having been reworked from the original plot. The control room still resembles Installation 04, but the alliance with Johnson is now one of the key parts of the storyboard. In these early revisions, an additional cutscene is shown in the [[Bastion of the Brutes]], depicting the Arbiter having a fist fight with a Brute guard assigned to watch Johnson and his Marines. The Arbiter fights the Brute but is ultimately saved by Johnson, who uses his [[CH252 helmet|helmet]] to smash the Brute's head in.

Johnson then passes the guard's Brute Shot to the Arbiter, who then looms over Johnson and looks to prepare a killing strike - only to cut Johnson's bonds. They then turn to the docked "Scarab" (once again, a placeholder ''Ghost in the Shell'' R3000), and the level proceeds as normal. | ||
