Transcript

The Chief approaches Ransom Keep. Four fuel silos are highlighted on his HUD.

• Weapon: "Banished facility up ahead, Chief. Some kind of salvage operation. What do we do?"

• John-117: "Shut it down. Permanently."

When the Banish spot the Chief:

• Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "Defend Ransom Keep! The Demon heads this way! We are under attack! Lower the fuel silos!"

Alarms begin to blare. The facility's security gates rise. The fuel silos withdraw underground.

• Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "Ransom Keep must not fall!"

The Chief launches his attack.

• Weapon: "The Banished really want to protect their fuel silos."

• John-117: "Clearly."

• Weapon: "So what are you going to do about it?"

• John-117: "Disappoint them."

• Weapon: "Nice. You need to manually raise each silo first."

The Chief continues to engage the Banished forces within the facility.

• Weapon: "Each fuel silo should have a manual override. Scan the area."

The Chief finds the override for one of the silos. He raises the first silo.

• Weapon: "Silo's raised."

The Chief destroys the first silo.

• Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "Fault detected in Silo 1!"

The Chief locates and raises the second silo.

• Weapon: "You know what to do."

The Chief destroys the second silo.

• Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "Silo 2 is offline! What is happening?!"

The Chief raises the third silo.

• Weapon: "Destroy that silo, Chief!"

The Chief does so.

• Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "Silo 3 is down! Defend Ransom Keep! All remaining forces deploy immediately!"

A Banished Phantom arrives and drops off enemy reinforcements. Banished Drop pods arrive soon after. The Chief defeats the reinforcements.

The Chief raises the fourth and final silo.

• Weapon: "Take out that silo!"

The Chief destroys the last silo.

• Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker): "What is happening?! Ransom Keep? Come in!"

• Weapon: "We've got company, Chief. Well... More company."

The Chief approaches a salvage and repair facility.

• Weapon: "It looks like the Banished are tearing down and repairing vehicles here."

• John-117: "Not for long."

• Weapon: "Marking the repair bays. Let's do this."

The security barrier blocking the entrance to the first repair bay goes offline, triggering an alarm. Banished reinforcements arrive via drop pods and a Phantom.

Entering the repair facility, the Chief finds something very useful inside.

• Weapon: "Do you see that? One M808 Scorpion. In pretty good shape, too. Could be useful, if you like that kind of thing."

• John-117: "Oh, I like it."

The Chief uses his newly acquired Scorpion to demolish the enemy reinforcements outside. More Banished drop pods arrive, bringing additional enemy troops. The Chief makes short work of them as well.

After taking out the reinforcements outside the first repair facility, the Chief heads back inside and eliminates the remaining Banished troops within.

The Chief locates the controls for the repair pay, rips off the cover, and punches the exposed circuitry, taking the machinery offline.

• Weapon: "They're stripping UNSC hardware to repair... excavation equipment? Are the Banished digging for something?"

More Banished reinforcements are deployed outside. The Chief deals with them, then heads to the second repair bay, where he clears out the Banished troops inside. He then destroys the controls, crippling the facility.

• Weapon: "Ransom Keep is officially offline. We did it, Chief! Well, you did it."

Mission is completed.
