''Cut to a hologram of [[Camber]] with [[UNSC]] cruisers and frigates in orbit as Locke narrates.'' | |||
*'''Jameson Locke''': "Camber was a major manufacturing center for UNSC fleet materials with a population of 5.6 million." | |||
''The camera quickly pans to several [[orbital defense platform]]s defending the planet. The [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] enters the system from [[slipspace]]. The Covenant fleet begins to attack the ODPs and UNSC ships.'' | |||
*'''Jameson Locke''': "After discovering Camber's location, 'Vadamee penetrated the early-warning perimeter without alerting UNSC forces, and began his ground and orbital [[Battle of Camber|attacks]] before most of the planet knew they were in danger." | |||
''The camera quickly pans to four {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s plasma bombarding the surface of Camber with [[energy projector]]s and [[pulse laser turret]]s.'' | |||
*'''Jameson Locke''': "While seventeen of his ships bombed key defensive positions, 'Vadamee led a group of Elites in a personnel assault on UNSC system HQ." | |||
''Cut to the UNSC HQ on Camber in the rain. The nearby streets are bombed by plasma.'' | |||
*'''Jameson Locke''': "One of the first units to engage 'Vadamee was the [[3rd Battalion Reserves]], who were so unprepared for the arrival of the Covenant forces that 'Vadamee found them unarmed and defenceless." | |||
''Cut to the view of a [[helmet recorder]] sitting on a bench that observes numerous [[UNSC Marines]] preparing for combat in a locker room while alarms are sounding. One Marine picks up the helmet with the recorder and dons it. The Marines begin to ran towards the exit of the room, unarmed. Suddenly, a door explodes and the Marine with the helmet recorder is knocked to the ground. The view fades to black.'' | |||
*'''Jameson Locke''': "In an unexpected display of what appears to be honor, 'Vadamee allowed the 3rd to finish gearing up before engaging them in combat." | |||
''Fade to the Marine with the helmet recorder looking at two [[Special Operations Sangheili]]s and Thel 'Vadamee approaching, wielding a [[Type-25 plasma rifle]]. The two Sangheili prepare to attack the wounded Marines, but Thel stops them. He looks towards the Marine with the helmet recorder and drops his plasma rifle. Thel activates his [[Type-1 energy sword]] and [[Type-3 active camouflage|active camouflage]]. Two other two Sangheili do the same.'' | |||
*'''Jameson Locke''': "While we have had multiple reports of a strict system of honor and ritual behavior followed by Elites within the Covenant, this is the first recorded example of such honor being shown to human opponents. But even given the chance to defend themselves, the 3rd Battalion losses were complete." | |||
''The Sangheili wait while the Marine picks up his [[MA5 series|MA5 assault rifle]]. The Marine fires his rifle and Thel charges at him. Thel picks up the Marine and the view switches to a nearby surveillance camera. Thel impales the Marine and the view switches back to the Marine's helmet recorder as the Marine dies and is dropped to the ground. The rest of the Marines in the locker room fire at the three Sangheili, but all humans are eventually killed.'' | |||
*'''Jameson Locke''': "'Vadamee continued his campaign across many human systems, culminating in his most devastating blow against the UNSC at [[Reach]]." | |||
''Cut to a view of the [[glassing|glassed]] Camber were numerous destroyed ships over the planet. A counter showing the planet's human population appears and eventually drops to 81,313. Fade to black.'' | |||
