'''Keyes''' is the ninth [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. Once more, the objective is to rescue [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] from inside the [[Truth and Reconciliation]]. This time, however, the ship is under attack from the [[Flood]] as well. You will have no allies on this level.

''{Opening cinematic-Camera flies through a canyon filled with pools of reactor coolant, under the [[Truth and Reconciliation]]. The [[Truth and Reconciliation|cruiser]] is resting on the top of the canyon, apparently heavily damaged. [[Flood]] and [[Covenant]] forces are fighting all throughout the region.}''
 
'''[[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]]:''' "The [[Covenant]] network is in absolute chaos! From what I've been able to piece together, their leadership ordered all ships to abandon [[Installation 04|Halo]] when they encountered the [[Flood]], but they were too late. The [[Flood]] overwhelmed this cruiser and disabled it. The [[Covenant]] are terrified the [[Flood]] will repair the ship and use it to escape from [[Installation 04|Halo]]. They've sent in a strike team to neutralize the [[Flood]] and repair the ship for immediate departure. I've got a good lock on [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]]' CNI transponder signal! [[Captain Keyes|He]]'s alive! And the implants are intact! There's some interference from the cruiser's damaged reactor. I'll bring us in as close as I can."
 
''{[[Master Chief]] teleports into the end of a corridor in the cruiser. The camera view flips over, upside down, and [[Master Chief]] falls on his head; he was teleported in upside down.} ''
 
'''Cortana:''' "Ohh... I see! Coordinate data needs to be- "
 
(''{[[Master Chief]] bangs the side of his head with his fist as he stands up.'')
 
'''Cortana:''' "Right. Sorry."

'''Cortana:''' "[[Captain Keyes|Captain]]? [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]?! I've lost him..."
 
(''After getting to a hangar, with a large hole in the floor just past the door, blocking your progress'')
 
'''Cortana:''' "Analyzing damage...This hole was caused by some kind of explosive. Very powerful if it tore through a ship's hull. All I detect down there are pools of coolant. We should continue our search somewhere else."
 
(''After the staying in that corridor for a few moments, [[Flood]] begin dropping out of a hole in the ceiling behind you, cutting you off'')
 
'''Cortana:''' "Warning! Threat level increasing!"
 
(''After fighting off the increasing horde of [[Flood]] for a few more moments'')
 
'''Cortana:''' "That jump into the coolant is looking better all the time, [[John-117|Chief]]!"
 
(''More Flood arrive'')
 
'''Cortana:''' "Trust me! It's deep enough to cushion our fall!"
 
(''After continuing to hold your ground'')
 
'''Cortana:''' "[[Master Chief|Chief]], we need to jump now!"

(''While walking down a narrow canyon'')
 
'''Cortana:''' "We should head this way, towards the ship's gravity lift."
 
(''Continuing farther down the canyons'')
 
'''Cortana:''' "The crash did more damage than I suspected. Analyzing. Coolant leakage rate is significant. The ship's reactor should already have gone critical."
 
(''Farther along in the canyons'')
 
'''Cortana:''' "Power source detected. There's the gravity lift. It's still operational! That's our way back in!"

''{upon finding an unlocked door}''
 
'''Cortana:''' "The [[Covenant]] [[Battlenet]] is a mess. I can't access the ship's schematics. My records indicate that a shuttle bay should be... here."

''{Upon reaching the nav point, it turns out to be a cargo bay}''
 
'''Cortana:''' "Look, in the corners. The [[Flood]] are gathering bodies here."
 
''{Continuing on, entering a shuttle bay}''
 
'''Cortana:''' "Looks like another shuttle bay. We should be able to reach the control room from the 3rd level."
 
'''[[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]] (O.S.):''' "I... gave you an order, soldier! Now pull out!"

''{[[Master Chief]] punches into [[Keyes]]' skull, sticking his hand inside. He pulls out the neural implants, shakes the [[Flood]] biomass off of them, and inserts them into his helmet.}''

'''[[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]]:'''We need to get back to the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]''. Let's go back to the shuttle bay and find a ride."

== Trivia ==
[[Image:Crazy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A standing Assault Rifle.]]
*Strangely, the [[Grunt]] with the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] in the [[Spirit]] will always die upon impact with the ground. Even more strangely, the Fuel Rod Gun's subsequent explosion does not kill any of the nearby Grunts.
*Strangely, the escort [[Banshee]] with the Nav point is actually an ally on the Motion Tracker. This probably is due to [[Cortana]] wanting you to use an “ally’s” vehicle. For example, if you board a vehicle, drive fast, and bail out with it still moving, it will indicate a large yellow dot on your motion tracker even if there is no one inside.
*When you get to [[Captain Keyes]], look a bit to the right off the ramp and you should see one of Captain Keyes' tentacles. Sticking out of the tentacle is Captain Keyes' pipe, which has the [[Marathon]] logo on it.
*The sentence "Chief…leave me", was added by [[Marty O'Donnell]] to offer up an explanation for why you are looking for Captain Keyes there, as revealed on the ''[[Halo 3]]'' Legendary Edition bonus disc.
*In the cutscene, "The Captain", where the [[Master Chief]] retrieves Captain Keyes' neural implants, the Master Chief was meant to burn [[Keyes]]' skull out of the [[Brain Form]] with the [[Flamethrower]] and retrieve the implants. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the Flamethrower was removed from the final game. [[Bungie]] had [[Robt McLees]] do research on what burned skulls looked like. When he had finished, he said "he'd done his work too well" as the burned skull was too gruesome.
*When the escort Banshees fly in, you’ll see they haven't got the hatch sealed. In addition, the Banshees at the end of the level are indestructible, since they don't have the health bar usually seen in Covenant vehicles. This is probably a precaution, because a destructible Banshee wouldn't have survived the onslaught of fire from the Covenant troops.
*You can get to the other side of the gap on the first part of the level by grenade jumping
*You can drive a Super-Fast Banshee at the end of the level
