Transcript[edit]

Camera shows Fireteam Raven sat in the passenger bay of aUH-144 Falcon traversing through the canyons surrounding theInstallation 04 control room.

Ethan Graves:Reports are saying theCovenant let something loose on the ring. Something Dangerous. Weapons ready, Raven.

The Falcon nears a bridge in the canyon, before the camera cuts to gameplay, with players manning theM247H machine guns. The craft is attacked by two waves of fourType-26 Banshees, before flying over the aforementioned bridge. MultipleFlood combat forms can be seen on the bridge. Many more Banshees attack as the Falcon begins to descend. The Falcon then ascends again to hover over the bridge, infested with Flood forms.

Wellsley:Warning, Raven. Scans are showing they are highly dangerous.

The Falcon sweeps the bridge, with the players clearing off a myriad of Flood. A Banshee beinghijacked by Flood forms crashes into the bridge. The Falcon fights more Flood by once again being enagged by Banshees. On the canyon floor, dozens of Flood can be seen running towards the Falcon, with the pilot giving the players a clear shot. The craft then turns around to reveal a small encampment ofmarines attempting to fight off the assailants. The four marines have two turret-lessM12 Warthogs.

Wellsley:Raven, we're dropping you here. Secure this area until the Falcon can return.

Fireteam Raven exit the Falcon, now equipped withM6G magnums. They fight off several combat forms, before twoFlood tank forms smash through the Warthogs and kill the marines. Two more follow before aDextro Xur-pattern Spirit looms overhead, supported by Banshee airstrikes. The final remaining marine and the fireteam are assailed by combat forms and more tank forms, before picking upM41 SPNKRs. The rocket launchers are used to fight off several Banshees who are using theirFuel rod cannons to conduct airstrikes. SeveralKaro'etba-pattern Ghosts enter the battle, supported by aZurdo-pattern Wraith. Following the Wraith's destruction, the ODSTs switch back to theirMA5B assault rifles as the Falcon flies overhead. The marine is stood next to the flipped-over Warthog.

Marine:There's too many of them!

Raven use their rifles to mow down waves of combat forms, until a tank form jumps onto a rock in front of them. As the ODSTs engage, the camera goes into slow motion asJohn-117 jumps up from behind, firing hisM90 shotgun into the creature's back. Exiting slow-mo, theSpartan lands on the creature's back and fights off more Flood forms. He then nods to the fireteam, before running off to continue with his mission. The Falcon flies past again, revealing severalFlood carrier forms andPod infectors assailing the group. The marine is killed by an infection form, as the rest are killed. The Falcon lands in the distance, and the group begin making their way to it. Dozens more infection and combat forms are killed before the group picks up a shotgun off a corpse. More Flood of various forms are encountered before the fireteam finally gets to the chopper, to find several combat forms atacking it. They are cleared off, but some Covenant infantry comrpised ofSangheili andUnggoy engage from behind. A Wraith then engages, with Raven boarding the Falcon to escape.

Graves:Let's get clear of this canyon, Raven. There's nothing more we can do here!

The Wraith'sPlasma mortar fire hits the Falcon, causing the craft to begin smoking. The mission then ends with the Falcon exiting the canyon system.
