Summary
Transcript
{Cutscene}
Fade in to a Covenant-occupied Forerunner structure. A Sangheili barks orders to his Unggoy subordinates, who scramble to get into defensive positions. They are obviously expecting company.
- Spartan Thorne: “Commander Palmer, Majestic here. Dr. Glassman’s got a favor to ask. Roland says Crimson’s in a place to help.”
{Gameplay}
- Dr. Henry Glassman: “Spartan Thorne found a Covenant map. I think I can read, but-”
- Thorne: “Dr. Glassman wants to know if Crimson can take a look for him?”
- Commander Sarah Palmer: “Sure. Why not.”
- Thorne: “Location’s right here, Commander.”
First map location is marked.
- Glassman: “If I’m reading this map right, that location should be a hub for energy flowing through a Forerunner structure.”
Crimson engages the Covenant forces guarding the structure. They move into the structure’s interior and down a ramp, where they find their first objective.
- Spartan Jared Miller: “I’ll run a survey through Crimson’s armor sensors. Just a sec.”
Scan is conducted. The orange highlights surrounding the objective turn blue.
- Miller: “It checks out, Dr. Glassman.”
- Palmer: “Okay. So what have we proved?”
- Glassman: “Hmmm... Nothing yet. Science requires more than one piece of evidence. Spartan Thorne, can you show them this location?”
- Thorne: “Sure thing, Doctor.”
Second map location is marked.
- Miller: “Covenant craft inbound!”
- Palmer: “Crimson, deal with them. We’ll play scientist when you’re done.”
Enemy Phantom arrives and deploys more Covenant troops.
When Crimson reaches the second location:
- Glassman: “Commander Palmer, can we get another reading at Crimson’s new location?”
- Palmer: “Miller?”
- Miller: “Same as before, Commander.”
Scan is conducted. Two golden beams of light are emitted from the structure.
- Glassman: “Did two massive beams of light just appear near Crimson’s position?”
- Miller: “Yes. Why?”
- Glassman: (excited) “Oh this is really amazing. I mean... advanced as we are, our maps have got nothing on this thing.”
- Palmer: (impatient) “Doctor, what’s the point? What are we doing?”
- Glassman: “I’m making sure I can read this map correctly so that maybe, if we’re lucky, I can get Infinity free of Requiem. Now if I’m reading this right, which I think I am, activating this location will give you some respite.”
New objective locations are marked.
Crimson clears out the Covenant attackers.
- Miller: “Good work, Crimson.”
Another scan is conducted:
- Miller: “Right again, Doc.”
- Palmer: “Phantom on approach.”
A Phantom deploys additional Covenant troops.
- Glassman: “Good, good. Thorne, can you show them this location? It will activate a turret defense system. I think.”
Turret defense system is marked.
Crimson activates the defense system. Friendly beam turrets appear.
- Miller: “Phantom on approach.”
Phantom deploys another wave of Covenant troops. Crimson engages the enemy. With the aid of the beam turrets, they fend off the assault
- Palmer: “Hell of a magic trick, Doc.”
- Glassman: “You want magic tricks? How’s this? Thorne, show Commander Palmer these locations.”
More locations are marked.
Crimson activates the designated locations. Supply crates holding Forerunner weapons materialize.
- Thorne: “Heavy weapons?”
- Glassman: “Pretty great, huh?”
A Covenant drop pod unloads more enemy troops. Crimson uses the newly provided weapons to defeat them all.
- Palmer: “All right. I’m starting to see the usefulness.”
- Miller: “Here they come.”
Phantom deploys more Covenant troops.
- Palmer: “What else have you got?”
- Glassman: “Let’s see... Hmmm. How about an anti-aircraft gun?”
Anti-aircraft gun locations are marked.
Crimson activates the first anti-aircraft turret:
- Miller: “This map’s checking out nicely, Doctor Glassman.”
- Glassman: “And it’s got a twin. I know how you Spartans like to blow things up.”
Second anti-aircraft turret is activated:
- Palmer: “Doc, you're five for five. I’m cutting the science short for today.”
- Glassman: “Understood.”
A Covenant drop pod lands in the middle of the base, unleashing a new wave of Covenant troops.
- Miller: “Secure the base, Crimson.”
Once the Covenant attackers are defeated:
- Palmer: “Additional targets inbound!”
Three Phantoms bear down upon Crimson’s position. The powerful Forerunner anti-aircraft guns easily destroy them.
- Miller: “Phantoms down! The AA guns shot them out of the sky!”
- Palmer: “Crimson, clean up the garbage they dropped, and you’re in the clear.”
More Phantoms appear and deploy ground forces - including Wraiths.
Crimson defeats the enemy ground forces, while the AA guns take care of the Phantoms.
- Miller: “You’re clear. Fall back to the LZ and come on home.”
Pelican arrives and picks up Crimson.
{Cutscene}
Crimson’s Pelican leaves the Forerunner installation.
- Palmer: “Nice work today, Crimson. I’ll get you the ribbons for your science fair projects when you’re back on Infinity.”
