Transcript
Dr. Catherine Halsey: "We knew this day would come. They have found our fortress among the stars. The Covenant are on Reach."
Dr. Halsey: "They will burn this planet, kill millions, and when Reach falls - and fall it will - there will be nothing left to stand between them and Earth."
Dr. Halsey: "Yet, even in our darkest hour, hope remains. Now, who will protect it? Show me Noble Team."
Dr. Halsey: "Carter, Noble One. Born leader. He turned Noble into more than just a collection of SPARTANs."
Carter: "Set up a perimeter."
Dr. Halsey: "They will need him now more than ever."
Dr. Halsey: "Kat, Noble Two. She is brilliant."
Kat: "I'll take that. Not your domain."
Dr. Halsey: "There are no technical hurdles she can't overcome. But her curiosity borders on insubordination."
Kat: "Keep pressing."
Dr. Halsey: "Jun, Noble Three. As a sniper, his skills are unmatched."
Jun: "I have visual on hostile infantry."
Dr. Halsey: "On this mission, distance may be a luxury he can't afford."
Dr. Halsey: "Emile, Noble Four. Is he bold enough? Without question. But we need courage and patience in equal measure."
Emile: "Who's next?"
Dr. Halsey: "We may require a more delicate approach."
Emile: "That's what you get when you mess with a SPARTAN."
Dr. Halsey: "Jorge, Noble Five. It's good to see him home again. But the Fall of Reach will weigh heavily upon him, and this mission will test every last ounce of his strength."
Jorge: "Let the big man do his job."
Dr. Halsey: "Noble Six. The team's most recent addition. My, my. So much black ink. Six has made entire militia groups disappear."
Dr. Halsey: "Curious. Hyper-lethal. There's only one other SPARTAN with that rating."
Dr. Halsey: "Yes, Noble Team will do. Yet only one of them can carry our last hope. Only one will hold our fate in their hands."
Dr. Halsey: "So, you've made your choice? Yes, well... great minds do think alike."

Unseen A.I.
In the ViDoc, Dr. Halsey is most likely talking to Auntie Dot, who is seemingly choosing to integrate with the protagonist, Noble 6. There are several reinforcing facts: Auntie Dot's symbol is repeatedly seen during the video, she is the only AI known to appear in the Halo: Reach campaign, and, at 1:07, it appears that Noble 6 is handing Kat an AI chip. This mirrors Cortana's integration with John-117. It is also possible that Dr. Halsey is talking to Cortana about her choice of John-117 as her SPARTAN ("So you've made you're choice. Yes, well great minds do think alike").
Trivia
- This ViDoc is Halo: Reach's counterpart to Halo 3: ODST's "Desperate Measures" ViDoc. Both serve as an introduction to their respective game's main characters and are narrated by a character from the game.
- This is Halsey's first appearance in-game.
