''Fade in from white to ruins at the edge of [[New Mombasa]]. A comical warning sign depicting a [[Unggoy|Grunt]] crossing swings in the wind. The camera slowly pulls back as a gust of wind kicks up a cloud of sand. A flash of blue light flows toward and past the camera, a partial image of [[Cortana]] visible.''

''Her face fades away into the Chief. Three [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] fly toward the camera from behind him. We follow them to see a [[Covenant assault carrier]] in the foreground with a fairly sizable Covenant fleet in the background. Nine Banshees (whose pilots' identities are hidden from us) are escorting a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]. The Chief stands at the edge of a cliff. We follow the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ships to see a massive [[Forerunner]] [[The Portal|structure]] in the valley. A hole is in the center, directly beneath the eye of the storm within the raging clouds above. A shockwave sweeps the valley as plates in the structure rise. As soon as the shock wave occurs, the Assault Carriers start moving out of the huge crater. The cliffs start to break away, and the Chief watches his footing. Energy gathers in the center; we see the reflection in the Chief's visor. It fires; fade to white; cut to black.''

*If you listen carefully, when [[Cortana]] speaks, a voice similar or identical to the [[Gravemind]] is saying the same words. This steadily becomes less and less obvious as the video goes on; by the time she says, "This is the way the world ends," the second voice is completely absent.
