| [[Image:Broken Ring.jpg|left|150px|thumb|The broken Installation 04]]
| |
| ''Fade in on the broken pieces of [[Installation 04]], still burning. Groups of [[Covenant]] {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser}}s prowl among them.''
| |
| | |
| ''An [[Assault Carrier]] flies by. The camera pans with it to a giant [[Covenant]] structure.''
| |
| | |
| '''Covenant Holy City, [[High Charity]]. [[Age of Reclamation|Ninth Age of Reclamation]]'''
| |
| | |
| ''Close up of High Charity. Hundreds of Covenant ships swarm around it.''
| |
| | |
| ''Fade to a ledge across from tiers of stadium-like seats; several [[Banshee]]s patrol around. The camera slowly zooms toward a door on the back of the ledge.''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Arbiter (character)|Elite Commander]]:''' "There was only one ship."
| |
| | |
| ''Fade in to the [[Council Chamber]]. Rows of [[Honor Guard]] [[Elite|Elites]] stand at attention. A single [[Zealot]] stands at the end, facing two [[High Prophet]]s].''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Prophet of Mercy]] :''' "One? Are you sure?"
| |
| | |
| '''Elite Commander :''' "Yes. They called it the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]''."
| |
| | |
| ''The focuses on the stadium seats filled with Elite and [[Prophet]] Councilors. They mutter amongst themselves.''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Prophet of Mercy]]:''' "Why was it not destroyed, with the rest of their fleet?"
| |
| | |
| '''Elite Commander:''' "It fled, as we set fire to their planet."
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Reach.jpg|170px|The [[Human]] planet Reach being glassed by the Covenant fleet.]]
| |
| ''{Flashback}: the ''Pillar of Autumn'' flees Reach as Covenant ships glass [[Reach]].''
| |
| | |
| '''Elite Commander:''' "But I followed with all the ships in my command."
| |
| | |
| ''{Flashback}: a Covenant Battle Cruiser approaches [[Installation 04|Halo]], several dozen smaller ships are already in orbit of it.''
| |
| | |
| '''Prophet of Regret :''' "When you first saw Halo, were you blinded by its majesty?"
| |
| | |
| '''Elite Commander:''' "Blinded?"
| |
| | |
| '''Prophet of Regret:''' "Paralyzed? Dumbstruck?"
| |
| | |
| '''Elite Commander:''' "No.."
| |
| | |
| ''{End flashback.} It is revealed that the Prophet of Regret is not actually here, but rather speaking through a holographic image of himself. Next to him is the Prophet of Mercy.''
| |
| | |
| '''Prophet of Regret:''' "Yet the humans were able to evade your ships, land on the Sacred Ring, (angrily) and desecrate it with their filthy footsteps!"
| |
| | |
| '''Elite Commander:''' "Noble Hierarchs, surely you understand that once the [[Flood|parasite]] attacked-"
| |
| | |
| ''The Council members mutter angrily. The Commander looks around at them.''
| |
| | |
| '''Prophet of Mercy:''' "There will be order in this Council!"
| |
| | |
| ''The [[Prophet of Truth]] comes forward and raises his hand. The room falls into complete silence.''
| |
| | |
| '''Prophet of Truth:''' "You were right to focus your attention on the [[Flood]]. But this Demon, this "[[Master Chief]]"...
| |
| | |
| ''{Flashback}: The destruction of Halo''
| |
| | |
| '''Elite Commander:''' "By the time I learned the Demon's intent, there was nothing I could do."
| |
| | |
| ''{End flashback.} The Prophet Councilors stand up and yell angrily. Elite Councilors mutter to each other. [[Tartarus]], standing nearby, chuckles to himself.''
| |
| | |
| '''Prophet of Regret:''' " ''{Whispers to Truth}'' Noble Prophet of Truth, this has gone on long enough. Make an example of this bungler, the Council demands it."
| |
| | |
| ''Truth holds up a hand, silencing Regret.''
| |
| | |
| '''Prophet of Truth:''' "You are one of our most treasured instruments. Long have you lead your [[Fleet of Particular Justice|fleet]] with honor and distinction. But your inability to safeguard Halo ... was a colossal failure."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Prophet of Objection]]:''' "'' {Stands up and shows a fist} ''Nay, it was heresy!"
| |
| | |
| ''The Councilors yell. The Commander looks back and forth between them.''
| |
| | |
| '''Elite Commander:''' "I will continue my campaign against the humans!"
| |
| | |
| '''Prophet of Truth:''' "No! You will not."
| |
| | |
| ''Truth glances at Tartarus, and the [[Brute]] [[Chieftain]] barks a command. Two Brutes approach the Commander and try to grab him, but he shakes them off and he starts walking to his fate willingly. They escort him out.''
| |
| | |
| '''Prophet of Truth :''' "Soon the [[Great Journey]] shall begin. But when it does, the weight of your heresy will stay your feet. And you shall be left behind."
| |
| | |
| ''The view concentrates onto three orbital [[MAC]] stations in Earth's orbit. A few [[UNSC]] ships fly past.}''
| |
| | |
| '''Earth Defense Platform, [[Cairo Station|Cairo]]. 10.20.2552 ([[Military Calendar]])'''
| |
| | |
| ''Cut to a close-up of the nearest platform.''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Master Gunnery Sergeant (Armory)|Master Gunnery Sergeant]]:''' "Your plating was about to fail, there's viscosity throughout the [[Hydrostatic Gel|gel]] layer...
| |
| | |
| ''Cut to the armory of Cairo Station. The officer handles equipment on a table.''
| |
| | |
| '''Master Gunnery Sergeant:''' "Optics, totally fried. And let's not even talk about the power supply." ''The view shows the Chief's new helmet on the table'' "You know how expensive this gear is, son?"
| |
| | |
| ''The view pans up the Chief's body, showing off his new armor. He fits his helmet into place just in time to block the player's view of his face.''
| |
| | |
| '''Master Chief:''' "Tell that to the Covenant."

| === Trivia ===
| |
| *This level is not available in co-op, since it contains only cutscenes.
| |
| *Near the conclusion of the cutscene the Arbiter's helmet creates a bursting graphic texture. [[Joseph Staten]] revealed this bug on the Halo 3 Legendary Edition bonus disk and stated he could never fix this bug.
| |
| *This is the first and only level in the entire Halo Trilogy where the Prophet of Truth refers [[John-117]] as the Master Chief.
| |
| *This is the first level in the ''Halo'' series that [[Councilors]] and the Brutes are seen.
| |
| *This cutscene shows the first appearances of the Prophets in the trilogy.
| |
| *In this level the Arbiter mentions the ''Pillar of Autumn'', which is the last time in the trilogy which they reference the ship, and the last time it's shown.
