Lord of Admirals
Walkthrough: TBA
Template:Article Quote A Forerunner fleet orbits a Forerunner planet. A shuttle enters one of the planet's portals. The scene switches to a shot of many tall towers.
- Didact: "My love. Put fear from your heart."
- Librarian: "War is your realm, Didact. Not mine."
View of a large room with a holographic table in the middle. Lifeworkers float across the room, doing various tasks.
- Librarian: "You march to this war, facing foes that, while always aggressive, were never so aggressive as they are now."
The Librarian turns to face the Didact.
- Didact: "Your fears are unfounded. The enemy will be turned, and I shall stand by your side once more."
- Librarian: "Promise me that."
- Didact: "I promise you. Nothing will stand between us."
Outer space, over a Forerunner planet. Several human starships drop out of slipspace and approach the planet. Lord of Admirals Forthencho stands on the bridge, looking expectant.
- Bridge Officer 1: "Lord of Admirals. We are in position over the Forerunner planet."
- Forthencho: "Show me."
A holographic image of the planet appears in front of him. He manipulates the image with his hands.
- Bridge Officer 2: "Population numbering over two billion. Forerunner ships on alert and inbound."
- Forthencho: "Is it possible? Have we gotten ahead of it?"
The image of the planet turns red in several places.
- Bridge Officer 2: "Flood infestation detected, My Lord."
- Forthencho: "Damnit!"
- Bridge Officer 2: "My Lord? The infestation is in a remote locale. Perhaps if we warn the Forerunners...?"
- Forthencho: "If we warn them, we give the Flood time to spread. You know we have no choice. Cleanse the planet."
Flood biomass spreads across a Forerunner structure. The camera pans to the sky, and the scene rapidly flashes to white as the orbital bombardment begins.
