* '''Grant (walking away):''' "Whatever, man. Have fun." | |||
''Thorne knocks on the door of Halsey's cell, and opens it.'' | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "Doctor Halsey? Spartan Thorne; I'll be your escort for the day." | |||

''Halsey is at work in a large room, with a computer terminal and the Requiem artifact surrounded by floodlights. Thorne guards her.'' | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "Doctor, I understand you worked with the original Spartans." | |||
* '''Halsey:''' "I'm afraid it's all still ''quite'' classified." | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "But the original Spartans were all conscripted, as children." | |||
* '''Halsey:''' "I did what was required." | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "But why children?" | |||
* '''Halsey:''' "Why do you think?" | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "What could have given them an edge, starting that young? Not knowing anything else?" | |||
* '''Halsey:''' "There were many reasons behind the choices we had to make. Psychological and physiological." | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "Psychological? So you don't think we're capable of being Spartans." | |||
* '''Halsey:''' "Perhaps some of you are closer than others." | |||

''An image of a Pelican getting shot down appears on the holo-table.'' | |||
* '''Palmer:''' "Castle Team just got hit running supplies into [[Copernicus Base|Copernicus]]. | |||
* '''Lasky:''' "Copernicus. A science base. Looking for the Librarian AI the Master Chief encountered? | |||
* '''Palmer:''' "Instead, they found something else." | |||
''The table zooms into the top of a structure, which is crawling with enemy figures, represented in red.'' | |||

'''\\:WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE PROMETHEANS?'''</tt> | |||
''Halsey acknowledges Thorne.'' | |||
* '''Halsey:''' "So, mister Thorne. What interest ''is'' my research to you, specifically?" | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "I enlisted with the Spartans, because I was in the army a year before my family and friends were killed in [[New Phoenix]]. A always thought the Spartans were special. Maybe I could have saved them." | |||
* '''Halsey:''' "Does it help you—help your grief—being here on Requiem, shooting at... what do they call them? Prometheans?" | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "Doctor?" | |||
* '''Halsey:''' "Prometheus stole fire from the gods, and gave it to humanity. I'm simply curious to see what gifts, if any, the Promethean lifeforms have to offer." | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "They're Forerunner robots. Hard light and battle armor. Ruthless, brutal. What can they offer us? Nothing but trouble, Doctor. They're simply killing machines." | |||
* '''Halsey (turning away):''' "Interesting." | |||
* '''Thorne:''' "Doctor Halsey—" | |||
* '''Halsey:''' "Quiet, please. I'm working." | |||
''Requiem. Doctor Glassman works near a Forerunner device, watched over by a Sangheili. He slaps a machine a few times.'' | |||
* '''Glassman:''' "Come on..." | |||
''Jul 'Mdama arrives.'' | |||
Note: All of Jul's speech is in Sangheili, translated into English. | |||
* ''''Mdama:''' "Doctor Glassman. Progress?" | |||
* '''Glassman:''' "I keep telling you people, I don't speak Sangheili!" | |||
* ''''Mdama (in English):''' "Progress??!!!" | |||
* '''Glassman:''' "I've got to have better equipment. More materials here—you're giving me two sticks to rub together, technologically speaking!" | |||
''Glassman gets to his feet and approaches Jul, but the Sangheili behind him yanks on the leash around Glassman's neck.'' | |||
* '''Glassman:''' "Okay okay okay, uh, no need for a translation there. You're saying there's an actual, living Forerunner inside this thing? Huh. I wonder what she could tell us?" | |||
* ''''Mdama:''' "I know what the Librarian will say, Glassman. She will tell us where all things sacred are hidden in this galaxy. Ships, weapons, bounties beyond our imagining." | |||
''The other Sangheili cheer and raise their swords.'' | |||
* ''''Mdama:''' "And she will tell us how to make those miracles... our own. | |||
