'''{''Cutscene''}'''
''Scene slowly zooms in on the inside of the Condor's wreck. A hatch in the floor opens, and the Pilot, now wearing a helmet, climbs out.''
*'''Pilot''': "Animals..."
''He pulls the helmet off.''
*'''Pilot''': "Chief, my eyes didn't deceive me back there."
''He exits the Condor's wreck and walks right past the Chief, who's waiting for him.''
*'''John-117''': "We need to go."
''The Pilot ignores him. He turns around and holds up three fingers, before turning back around and continuing to walk away.''
*'''Pilot''': "Three UNSC Condors." ''(holds up one finger)'' "Seeing one is rare." ''(holds up three fingers again)'' "Finding three? It's a miracle. I should have known better."
''He stops and points at the wreckage of another Condor.''
*'''Pilot''': "Torn apart. Completely gutted." ''(turns back to the Chief)'' "Slipspace drives obliterated."
*'''John-117''': "We don't have the time."
''The Pilot ignores him and walks few steps, before stopping to point, helmet still in hand, at a second Condor.''
*'''Pilot''': "And over there is another. Shattered and cratered over a kilometer."
''He turns and points at the Condor the Chief found him in.''
*'''Pilot''': "And there."
''He walks back to the wreckage of the Condor.''
*'''Pilot''': "The last one. ''All of it.''"
''He turns to the Chief.''
*'''Pilot''': "Crushed. Broken. Beaten! ''Useless!''"
''The Chief steps towards him.''
*'''John-117''': ''"Enough."''
*'''Pilot''': ''(hysterical)'' "''When?'' When is it enough, Chief?! When we're in ''there''? Because that's where ''I'' belong." ''(points at the Condor)'' "In there. With them!"
''He throws his helmet in frustration. He then walks over to piece of debris, picks it up, and throws it back down.''
*'''Pilot''': ''"Worthless junk!"''
''He turns to the Chief, his teeth clenched.''
*'''Pilot''': "Not this. ''I'm not you.''"
''He hangs his head in shame and walks past the Chief.''
*'''Pilot''': ''(on the verge of tears)'' "I'm not a pilot. I'm not even a soldier, a marine!"
''He stands with his back to the Chief, unable to face the Spartan.''
*'''Pilot''': "I'm a fraud. I stole that Pelican." ''(he turns around)'' "I ''stole'' it! You know ''why''?"
''The Chief doesn't answer.''
*'''Pilot''': "Of course you don't. Have you ever been scared? So scared that you..."
''Unable to finish his sentence, the Pilot walks away from the Chief. He kneels down at the edge of the crater containing the wreckage of UNSC ships.''
*'''Pilot''': ''(sobbing)'' "I'm worthless."
''The Chief approaches and drops to one knee beside him.''
*'''Pilot''': ''(still sobbing)'' "You should leave me here with the rest of the garbage."
*'''John-117''': "We all fail. We all make mistakes. It's what makes us human."
*'''Pilot''': ''(disbelieving)'' "I'm sorry, Chief. But how have you ever failed."
''The Chief hesitates for a moment before answering.''
*'''John-117''': "I should have protected [[Cortana]]. Stopped everything from going wrong."
''The Pilot stares at him in surprise.''
*'''John-117''': "I failed her."
''He turns to the Pilot.''
*'''John-117''': "I will ''not'' fail you."
*'''Weapon''': "Chief..."
''The Chief opens up his hand and the Weapon's avatar appears.''
*'''Weapon''': ''(to the Pilot)'' "We...we're going to make it."
*'''Pilot''': ''(turning away)'' "I..."
*'''Weapon''': "We have to."
''The Pilot looks back at them.''
*'''Pilot''': "...this is all I've got."
*'''John-117''': "It's all we ''need''. Our only way home is straight through the heart of the Banished."
*'''Weapon''': "We need you."
*'''John-117''': "We can fix this."
*'''Weapon''': "Together."
''Her avatar disappears. The Chief stands back up. He waits for the Pilot to do the same.''
''Scene focuses in on the Pilot, as he makes his decision.''
*'''Pilot''': "Of course we can."
''The Chief holds out his hand. The Pilot takes it and gets back to his feet.''
*'''Pilot''': "Together."
''Having regained his composure, the Pilot puts his hands on his hips and sighs.''
*'''Pilot''': "So. What's the plan? Let me guess. It's dangerous and it's probably going to get us killed."
''There's a sudden booming sound. Scene shifts to the right. A beam of blue energy streaks up into the sky, fired from somewhere in the distance.''
*'''Pilot''': "Huh."
''Scene shifts back to him.''
*'''Pilot''': "I have my answer."
''He turns to the Chief and raises a fist.''
*'''Pilot''': "Let's do this."
''Fade to black.''
