INTRO - MISSION 0
Starting Weapons: None
Cutscene (TEAM ALPHA MEETS SGT. JOHNSON)
BUCK: Alright, listen up… Dare just reported something big. Multiple intel feeds show Covenant fleets fighting each other. Elites and Brutes tearing each other apart across half the system.
ROMEO: …What?
BUCK: Yeah. Full-on civil war. Elites brutalized by Brutes. Dozens of ships are gone. It’s something no one’s seen in all the years of this damn war.
(Rookie is sleeping.. While they talk about the rumors of the covenant civil war.)
DUTCH: If that’s true… this could turn everything upside down.
BUCK: Not yet. We still gotta worry about the Index
JOHNSON: Prepare to drop troopers!
MICKEY: Who is that?!
ROMEO: Our new boss… bet he likes to yell all the time…
JOHNSON: I don’t pay you the hour son! twenty pushups, or I’m sending you back to training!
ROMEO: Whatever.
ROMEO: Didn’t know you were so strict on the boarding policies huh…
JOHNSON: I wasn’t kidding soldier, 20 push ups right now!
DARE: Is Romeo always like this?
BUCK: Nah, he just has an attitude problem, that’s all.
JOHNSON: We gettin’ ready to approach the ring, Sergeant Buck, prepare to drop your team. We are about to find the Index location and knock on the aliens front door!
BUCK: Sir, yes sir.
BUCK: Pods… now!
(Romeo finishes his 20 push ups and stands up approaching the rookie…)
(Rookie gets hit by Romeo again, caught sleeping…)
Romeo: Caught you sleeping again, huh…
BUCK: Get back here, Romeo!
(Dutch shoves Romeo)
Dutch: Sorry Rookie, you already know the drill.
(Rookie prepares to drop…)
(Everybody is dropping, even Johnson…)
JOHNSON: You know the drill, troopers. Deploy and secure a landing zone for our little Martian friend (Virgil) here so we can have the Index. Watch out for enemy anti air turrets, there will be heavy fire against our way.. With that said i dont need to express how important this is.. We’re going to locate the hidden key to open the halo rings once and for all, so i dont want to hear no yawning, no complaining and no temper tantrums. Have you heard it Romeo?
ROMEO: Yessir!
JOHNSON: Al right team thats what i like to hear!!! You know the drill…
JOHNSON: Get tactical, Marines!
(All pods descend… Rookie is slammed against the harness as the pod hurtles downward. Tracer fire and anti-aircraft rounds streak past the viewport, shaking the hull with every impact. The ground rushes up fast, thrusters flare, and Rookie braces for the landing.
Rookie finally gets some decent landing and provides help for Team A (Johnson and Dare).
MISSION 01 “TEAM A” - ROOKIE
Starting Weapons: Rookie: M7 SMG and M6 Pistol
Cutscene (DARE, JOHNSON AND ROOKIE LAND)
After dropping, and dodging heavy anti air fire from phantoms and plasma turrets.. Dare contacts Buck (Team B).
DARE: Buck, you all right? Talk to me. We just landed...
BUCK: Yeah, Veronica. I'm all right. How about you?
DARE: Thank God, I'm starting to feel alright that was a heavy landing…
Johnson, the Rookie and I are going to have to push inside... Well, see you up there, Buck.
JOHNSON: Hurry, we must get to the control relay before the Covenant does.
JOHNSON: Veronica,  you are with me. Rookie, show us some cover.
IN-GAME (ROOKIE LEAVES DARE AND JOHNSON)
After coming to a bridge, they must find the panel switch for the bridge to open. They order Rookie to go to the nearest control room and activate it while they protect Virgil and fend off waves of Hunters, Elites, Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts.
Rookie nods with his head, going rapidly, avoiding enemy fire while moving on the back to avoid contact. He enters a Forerunner door alone. With no sounds, he steps into the abyss of silence.
Finally, Rookie enters a room, but with no one by his side, he hears comms of Johnson and Dare talking to Buck and Buck replying back. They are in deep trouble, so you know you must hurry to open the bridge.
Rookie goes to the first room and approaches Elites guarding the area, but there's a camo hidden on a structure, with Grunts sleeping as well. Gotta be careful.
After that, Rookie sees Sentinels attacking the Brutes. He tries to avoid them.
Then he sees a room full of Brutes, Grunts, and Jackals but avoids them using stealth.
In multiple rooms, he sees Elites vs Brutes in an all-out war, but he is thankfully on higher ground so he can avoid fighting.
Finally, Rookie steps into the final room with 2 Hunters but with Brutes attacking them.
Cutscene (ROOKIE TEAMS UP WITH ELITES)
At last, Rookie reaches the final door. A squad of 5 Elites comes and points their plasma guns at Rookie. Rookie freezes but doesn't scare himself to death. Finally, as they are about to decide his fate, the Elites see from Rookie's back a strange figure coming out. It's Virgil! The Engineer. They recognize him as an ally and holster their plasma weapons. They make a signal and start saying “wort wort wort” for Rookie to follow them. They are now his allies and will guide him to the structure's exit, all now with Virgil’s extra shielding on.
IN-GAME (ROOKIE ARRIVES WITH THE ELITES)
At last, Rookie, Virgil, and the Elites come into the Database Outpost on some ruins, where Dare and Johnson are. They are surprised to see Rookie with Virgil and the Elites together.
Rookie then helps Johnson and Dare go to the Outpost and finally all go to the Outpost. Virgil extracts the database from the datapad of the Forerunner structure. The Elites that were with Rookie help defend the terrain.
Johnson, Dare, and Rookie approach the Forerunner control after battling many forces on the Delta Halo ring.
Cutscene (THE ELITES AND ALPHA 9 CLEAR  LZ)
A Pelican arrives in-game with Marines inside so they can defend Virgil while he reaches for the database for the Index
Virgil approaches with a funky vibe to Johnson.
Johnson smiles and says:
JOHNSON: How we doin'
Virgil lights up a cigarette for Johnson.
JOHNSON: Atta boy! That’s how I know what aliens like… haha
DARE: That’s great. I bet you also know what girls like.
JOHNSON: I sure do, honey. I'm a master of many things. (Bumps elbow to Rookie while saying that.)
Virgil starts worrying and connects to the database through the Forerunner interface.
Phantoms drop in, making Hunters and troops descend with Elites and Brutes.
Dare: Sergeant, we got bigger problems ahead of us.
Johnson: Awww hell. Let’s get tactical.
After that, Buck communicates to Dare and asks how they are doing.
BUCK: Veronica, how’s everything going?
DARE: You kidding? We need you A.S.A.P. We’re almost decimated. Come help us now.
MISSION 02 “TEAM B” - BUCK
Starting Weapons: Buck: MA5 Assault Rifle and M6 Pistol
Cutscene (BUCK’S LANDING WITH TEAM B)
MICKEY: It's too muddy here. Are we getting some support?
DUTCH: Are you kidding? You are the support!!!
The game switches to Buck first person POV
Three longswords fly over the sky…
KILO-4 (over comms): "Alpha-9, dropping ordinance on enemy infantry! bombs deployed, stand clear!"
The bombs hit the ground, detonating instantly all covenant infantry explodes on contact. boom! The shockwave throws dirt and debris across the map.
MICKEY (over comms): "where the hell did that come from?!"
DARE (over comms): "We’re not the only ones in the ring. Many troops have been stranded here, go search them, Buck. We need them to survive!"
BUCK: "Copied, Veronica. We're on our way!"
BUCK: Alpha team, get to work. Let's clear the zone and meet up with them.
ROMEO: Uggh, here we go…
MISSION 03 “Index Hunt” - JOHNSON
Starting Weapons: Johnson: BR55 Service Rifle and M6 Pistol
Cutscene (ALPHA 9 AND ELITES UNITE!!)
After TEAM A and Elites fight through waves of Covenant Brutes, Team B finally rendezvous with Johnson and Rookie and Dare and Virgil.
BUCK: “In all my years in the war, I never thought I’d see something like this… How did they even get here?”
ROMEO: “Looks like the party just got bigger.”
JOHNSON (serious): “Focus, marines. The Elites are with us.” He gives the Rookie a brief nod before turning back to assess the battlefield.
DARE: : “And the Rookie here made the elites cover us…”
DUTCH: “Well…at least they don’t shoot us.”
JOHNSON (smiling slightly at Rookie): “Thanks again, Rookie. You surprise me each and every day, son.”
As Buck inspect the zone for any remaining enemies, he does not find any threat…
BUCK: Zone is clear, no covenant forces left..
JOHNSON: “Don’t get comfortable. Let’s stay sharp company.”
DARE: Watch out! (A covenant suicide grunt appears walking towards virgil..)
THEN A LOUD BANG SOUNDS THROUGHOUT THE OUTPOST!
Romeo fatally wounds a sniper Jackal trying to kill Virgil. So Virgil surprised and lit his eyes up towards Romeo.


Everybody is in awe of Romeo’s sharpshooting by a second lol.
Romeo just puts his sniper on his back…


JOHNSON: Nice work son, good job.
Romeo kindly nods with his head while putting sniper on his shoulder.


Now Team Alpha 9 is all reunited... at the Forerunner outpost.


JOHNSON: Now it's time for our little alien friend to find the location of the Index before more covenant dropships land on our position...
ROMEO: When are we getting reinforcements sergeant?
JOHNSON: You kidding? YOU ARE THE BACKUP SON! NOW LETS GET SET FOR THE NEXT WAVE!
DUTCH: (Elbows mickey as soon as he heard Johnson say that..)
MICKEY: Uggh… When are we gonna get some explosives???!
JOHNSON: Not today son, maybe I should call you up with those ONI fellas, they love to blow their own stuff to bits!
DARE: Watch out, more reinforcements are coming to our position!
JOHNSON: Get tactical marines!
Cutscene (VIRGIL FINDS LOCATION OF INDEX)
After Virgil extracts the data, Johnson heads for the Index, he leaves in his Scarab, leaving Alpha 9 alone.
JOHNSON (through Scarab Microphone): Catch you up later fellas. We'll see each other in due time. For now, good job Rookie, you did well today.
JOHNSON (through Scarab Microphone): Romeo, keep up that work son. You'll soon get demoted, son! Haha, just kidding... catch you up later fellas!
DARE: It was an honor working with you, Sergeant.
BUCK: Likewise, Sergeant.
JOHNSON (without comms.): Don't thank me yet. War is far from over.
JOHNSON (through Scarab Microphone): Romeo... if your skills ever surpass your mouth work, I bet you'll be on the frontlines by now son!
ROMEO: Thank you sir! (Smirks mockingly and saluting)
JOHNSON: (Grins heavily while on the scarab and turns his back…) Making his way to the INDEX LOCATION with his SCARAB.
After this, Alpha 9 are in the outpost waiting on their Pelican to return to base (UNSC frigate).
BUCK: Hey Veronica, are we in our good graces again?
DARE: Ask me that when we win...
An O.N.I Vulture arrives, Dare boards the Vulture, and the rest of Alpha 9 team boards the Pelican. Buck stares into the distance like it’s almost what he wished Veronica to say, then he boards the Pelican with all of Alpha 9.


BUCK: Hey team, is everybody good?
ROMEO: Not you apparently... huh.
BUCK: I guess everything's great so far... (Smiles)
After the operation, Alpha 9 returns to base, awaiting their next deployment. For now, the war is in the hands of the MasterChief and the Arbiter… but soon, the conflict is about to reach its breaking point.
MISSION 04 “RAVEN’S NEST” - MICKEY
Starting Weapons: Mickey: M41 Rocket Launcher and M6 Pistol
Cutscene (ALPHA 9 MEETS FIRETEAM RAVEN)
After the events of halo 2 in Uprising, the team is called on a top secret mission to create a homemade bomb to destroy the Crow’s nest parallel UNSC base for ONI Raven’s Nest, both are highly secret facilities in the jungles of Africa. master chief and johnson have just landed on Crow’s Nest. This takes place on halo 3’s mission Crow’s Nest timeline.
First Encounter Between Alpha 9 and Fireteam Raven
(Alpha 9 has just arrived at the Raven's Nest, an ONI base hidden in the jungle. Fireteam Raven is there too, getting ready for the mission. The team is in a rest area, gearing up and getting briefed on the situation. Romeo, as always, can’t help but ask a question.)
ROMEO: (looking curiously at the members of Fireteam Raven as they approach)
 "Hey, Buck... how did these guys survive the massive destruction of Halo? Weren’t they supposed to be MIA or KIA?"
BUCK: (glances at Romeo with a warning expression, raising an eyebrow)
 "I don’t know, Romeo, and I don’t wanna know. Classified ONI files. Whatever happened to them... it’s not something we’re talking about."
ROMEO: (smirking sarcastically, still eyeing Raven)
 "Classified, huh? What’s their secret? I bet there’s more to this."
BUCK: (crossing his arms, letting out a frustrated sigh)
 "Stop asking questions you don’t want answers to. Raven's here for a reason, and we're here to do our job. Let’s just focus on the mission, alright?"
ROMEO: (snapping his fingers, pretending to be surprised)
 "Ooh, someone’s got secrets, huh?"
DUTCH: (serious, in a low tone)
 "It’s not a secret, it’s a matter of... privacy, Romeo. Not every file needs to be made public."
BUCK: (interjecting, her tone firm)
 "ONI does things their way… Focus on the job at hand, alright?"
ROMEO: (shrugging, still eyeing Raven members)
 "Okay... But I still think there’s something about those guys..."
(The rest of Alpha 9 watches the exchange in silence, some exchanging glances, noticing that Buck and Dare seem to know something the others don’t. The atmosphere is thick with suspense and mystery, but the team knows they have to focus.)
Cutscene (ARRIVAL TO ONI BASE IN THE JUNGLE)
Transition to Battle:
(Later, after the conversation, the teams are preparing for the mission at Raven’s Nest. The threat of Covenant forces is imminent. Fireteam Raven and Alpha 9 are now working together, though there’s still some tension as they prepare to defend the base.)
BUCK: (giving orders to his team, voice firm)
 "Alright, listen up, people! We’ve got work to do. Fireteam Raven, welcome to the party, but remember, we're here to protect the Nest and cover Vergil and Mickey while they make the bomb!. Everyone’s on task, no time to waste!"
ROMEO: (looking at Raven, still with a sarcastic smile)
 "Let’s see how these guys hold up (Fire team Raven).
Don’t think we’ll be making friends today."
DUTCH: (sarcastically, looking at Romeo)
 "Don’t ask questions you don’t wanna get answers to, Romeo."
BUCK: (serious, giving orders)
 "No more chatter, people. Focus up. We have a job to do, and we’re gonna do it."
ROMEO: (sighs)
 "Fine.."
(With the teams ready for action, they prepare to defend the ONI base deep in the jungle. Covenant forces are closing in, and the battle is about to begin.)
ALPHA TEAM, DARE, AND VIRGIL THE ALIEN are at the ONI Raven’s Nest base, preparing the bomb and defending the facility from Covenant air units and infantry.
BUCK: Alright team, orders are simple. Defend this base while Virgil finishes the handmade destruction device. Sergeant Johnson will pick it up when it’s ready.
ROMEO: Oh, I like this place… Wonder how much it’ll cost them just to make us blow it up, huh Mickey?
Mickey smiles silently while glancing at Romeo.
MICKEY: I guess… more than a few bullets and a broken Banshee.
Romeo grins back and winks at Mickey, pointing at him.
DUTCH: (grabs a Spartan Laser) Shut up, both of you. Let’s get to work.
MICKEY: (grabs a rocket launcher, flexing a little) Always ready to blow things up… Big boom, bigger smiles, right?
BUCK: Well said, Mickey. You’re in charge of the defense system of the Base. Help Virgil with the bomb and defend Raven’s Nest… Everybody, positions!
ALL TEAM MEMBERS (ALPHA-9 AND FIRETEAM RAVEN) start holding choke points, firing on incoming Covenant infantry and air units. Explosions, laser fire, and plasma bolts light the jungle.
MICKEY: (firing rockets) One down… and… two more on my six! Keep it coming!
ROMEO: (ducking behind cover) Careful, heavy units incoming!
MICKEY: Don’t worry, Romeo, I got your back…(grabs a rocket launcher)!
Buck heads into the lab where Mickey and Virgil are finishing the bomb.
BUCK: Mickey, you have it ready? (The Bomb)
MICKEY: Hang on… just a touch… and… Voila!!! Ready, Sergeant!
BUCK: Nice, well done. Now let’s get our hands on some Covenant mass destructors, shall we?
Virgil nods happily.
DARE: (Approaches the Engineer Room…) Do we have it?
Huh… looks fascinating. Johnson will be pleased to see this in action.
MICKEY: Fascinating….”
(Mickey, Dutch, and Romeo carry the bomb on a heavy-duty cart toward the landing zone.)
MICKEY: (grinning) Careful, fellas… this thing’s hotter than a plasma cannon at point-blank!
Johnson arrives at the Raven’s Nest landing zone in his Pelican.
Cutscene (JOHNSON DELIVERS THE BOMB)
JOHNSON: Special delivery service for massive bomb destruction! You boys got the package?
BUCK: Aye, Sergeant!
JOHNSON: Good to see you boys from Alpha 9… how’ve you been, son?
DARE: This isn’t the time to talk!
ROMEO: Never better Sergeant…
JOHNSON: Good to hear. Give me the bomb and let’s give those bastards a what-for! Hoo-rah!
Alpha 9 loads the bomb into Johnson’s Pelican.
MICKEY: (saluting the bomb) Don’t worry, big guy… you’re going to make quite the entrance!
Johnson takes off toward the Crows Nest to deploy the device.
JOHNSON: Catch you later  troopers! Make sure nothing follows me!
After deployment, Alpha 9 covers the base, repelling the last Covenant forces before retreating.
At last they activate the self destruction mechanism for the Raven’s Nest ONI facility, which blows up the entire facility…
Dare tells everyone to board the vulture before the explosion activates…
MICKEY: (as they leave on Dare’s Vulture…) Another day, another explosion… Alpha 9 style!
Alpha 9 escapes in Dare’s Vulture as Raven’s Nest is destroyed with all their secrets (including Fireteam Raven’s classified Archive…) all after Johnson successfully delivers the bomb.
MISSION 05 “FIRETEAM ALPHA” - DUTCH
Starting Weapons: Dutch: Spartan Laser and M7 SMG
Fireteam Alpha: Drop to the Frontlines
(Hours later, Alpha 9 arrives aboard a UNSC frigate, ready to drop into the battle zone near the town of Voi, on the African continent, near the Tsavo Highway. Virgil, the alien engineer, is providing orbital support and intelligence, prepping for the ground assault.)
(The crew is gathered in the drop pod room, preparing for deployment.)
Cutscene (INTEL BRIEFING BEFORE DROPPING)
BUCK: (standing, giving orders to his team)
 "Team, pods now. Let’s hit the frontlines. Intel says we’ll have support from Fireteam Raven and a whole bunch of Marines on the ground."
ROMEO: (rolling his eyes sarcastically)
 "Oh, isn’t that great... More company."
BUCK: (grinning) "Yeah, and that’s not all. We’ve got a few surprises waiting for us too. Word is, we’ll be facing Wraiths, a Scarab, and a whole lot of Covenant infantry. Brace yourselves."
ROMEO: (mock horror)
 "Oh, Jesus... A Scarab? You’ve got to be kidding me..."
BUCK: (chuckling) "Didn’t know you were scared of bugs, Romeo."
ROMEO: (grinning, raising an eyebrow) "Not that kind of bug..."
(As everyone gets into position and prepares to drop, the tension is palpable. The team knows that this won’t be easy.)
ROOKIE: (sitting quietly with Virgil, checking his gear, preparing for the drop)
ROMEO: (teasing as he walks past Rookie and Virgil)
 "Aww, look at that... you boys cuddling, huh? Sorry, am I interrupting?"
DUTCH: (glaring at Romeo, annoyed)
 "Shut up, Romeo. Get outta here."
DUTCH: (turning to Rookie, offering a sympathetic shrug)
 "Sorry, Rookie... you know how he is."
ROMEO: (mockingly)
 "Hey, we’re defending Earth here, pal. Better safe than sorry."
MICKEY: (checking his equipment, impatient) "Hey, are we dropping soon or what?"
DUTCH: (serious, but with a slight grin) "That’s right, Rookie. Time to drop."
(The team readies themselves as the drop pods begin to power up.)
(CUT TO: The drop pods descend, heading straight for the frontlines. The drop zone is chaotic, Covenant forces everywhere, BIG BATTLEGROUND. The team is in the heat of battle.)
(As Alpha 9 hits the ground, Dare flying on her Vulture comes over the comms, her voice calm but urgent.)
DARE: (over comms, voice clear but firm)
 "Alpha 9, we’ve scattered the intel across the battlefield, but it won’t hold for long. Fireteam Raven will be assisting you from the ground, and Virgil and I will provide orbital cover from the Vulture. We need to clear these Covenant forces quickly."
(The camera focuses on Fireteam Raven Pods as they descend with Alpha 9 parallely.)

FIRETEAM RAVEN LEADER : (on comms, confidently)
 "Alpha 9, we’re ready to assist. We’ve got one Scarab, two Locusts, three Wraiths, and about seven infantry troops ready to tear through. Let’s get to work. Raven out."
(The fireteams engage. Alpha 9 takes the lead, cutting through Covenant infantry, Wraiths, and the Scarab. The battle is fierce, the ground shaking from explosions. Dare and Virgil are overhead, using the Vulture to provide air support.)
DARE: (on comms, her voice cutting through the chaos)
 "Covering you from the sky, Alpha 9! I’ve got your six, but we’ll need heavy fire on those tanks, especially the Scarab."
ROMEO: (shouting over the gunfire, firing at the Wraiths)
 "I’ll take the Wraiths down! They’re not so tough!"
BUCK: (commanding)
 "Keep the pressure on those Wraiths! We need to keep moving. Romeo, get to those Locusts, Mickey, Dutch, take out the infantry! Rookie, stay sharp!"
MISSION 06 “CAVES OF VOI” - ROMEO
Starting Weapons: Romeo: SRS99D-S2  Sniper Rifle and M6 Pistol
Cutscene (LONGSWORD DOWN! MAYDAY!)
Three Longswords fly over a canyon. Suddenly, the mesa’s top-mounted AA turret opens fire, shredding one of the Longswords. Explosions light up the rocky terrain.
KILO-4 (over comms): "Down! Repeat! Mayday! Mayday! We're going down!"
Above the battlefront, Rookie is struck by the wreckage of the destroyed Longsword and goes unconscious for at least forty-five minutes.
DARE: "Kilo-4, do you copy? Can you hear me? Kilo-4!!"
Buck receives orders through his COMMS from Dare.
DARE: "Buck, we need you to go belly up in the caverns. There’s an underground path that’ll take you to the top of the mesa. We need those AA towers offline, now! Johnson’s got your back."
BUCK: "Roger that, Veronica. Let’s roll, team."
Cut to Johnson on comms, grinning.
JOHNSON (over comms): "Ah, the ladies are waiting? Don’t keep them waiting, Sergeant. I know what they like."
BUCK (rolling eyes, chuckling): "Johnson… you never learn, huh?"
ROMEO: "Yeah, Buck, let him have his fun. Maybe he’ll finally find a girl that can take his grumpy old Spartan jokes."
BUCK: "I’m more worried about keeping you alive than finding him a date, Romeo."
ROMEO: "Well, someone’s gotta babysit …i guess."
JOHNSON: "You two just keep talking, I’ll take care of the towers and the showers of plasma."
The team laughs briefly over comms as they rappel into the caverns, setting the stage for the next combat sequence.
The squad rounds a corner, the Queen of the Drones looms, swarms of flying Drones buzzing around.
JOHNSON (grinning, over comms): "Well, would you look at this… the momma of these ugly bugs! What a mess!"
ROMEO : Looks like we interrupted the family reunion fellas.
JOHNSON:  Let’s clean up these ugly bastards.
JOHNSON (laughing): Buck on me, Romeo, cover our six with your sniper… These bugs won’t know what hit ’em."
The squad approaches the cliffside where the AA turret sits. Dust and rubble scatter as the wind whips through the cavern entrance. Swarms of flying Drones and Covenant are seen above and around the mesa.
JOHNSON (over comms): "Veronica, we’ve got eyes on the AA turret. Coordinates locked. Ready to breach."
DARE: "Copy that, Johnson. Coordinates received. Proceed with caution."
ROMEO (nervously): "Uh… guys… I really don’t like heights."
BUCK (laughing): "See? I told you, man, always so dramatic."
JOHNSON (teasing): "Don’t worry, Romeo… if you fall, I got you… or at least I’ll push you first hehe"
ROMEO (groaning): "Not funny…"
BUCK: "Come on, brave guy. It’s just a little cliff… nothing an ODST can’t handle."
JOHNSON (laughing): "Exactly. While I take care of this turret and all the scary heights… you just go ahead and cry like a baby, Romeo."
ROMEO (muttering): "Ugh… seriously? You’re never gonna let me live this down, are you?"
BUCK (chuckling): "Oh, come on… it’s classic Johnson. Just roll with it."
The team goes to the bridge on the  side of the cliff. Johnson moves ahead, rifle ready, while Buck covers the flank and Romeo clings a little too tightly to the floor.
ROMEO (whining): "I hate this… I HATE THIS!"
JOHNSON (mock sympathy): "There, there… little Romeo. It’s okay, just scream into the canyon. The Covenant won’t even hear you."
BUCK (shaking his head, smiling): "you’re lucky we didn’t put a harness on you, Romeo."
ROMEO (grumbling): "Yeah, yeah… just shoot the damn turret already!"
Johnson reaches the AA turret, scanning for weak points.
JOHNSON: "Alright, ladies and germs, time to make this metal monster go night-night."
BUCK: "Careful, Johnson. This thing isn’t going down easy."
ROMEO (trying to sound brave): "Yeah… maybe… maybe it’ll just, I dunno, explode quietly?"
JOHNSON (laughing): "Explode quietly? Buddy, you’ve got the wrong game. Now stay back, little man, and watch the big guys handle business."
BOOM COVENANT AA TURRET IS DESTROYED BY THE TEAM!.
BUCK: Veronica AA turret down, we will pass  through the chasm  bridge… Over
DARE (through comms): Perfect, Hope you know what you’re doing Buck. multiple wraiths and infantry on the next side of the mesa.
The squad approaches a narrow bridge over a yawning chasm. One misstep and it’s a long fall.
BUCK: "Well… one wrong step and you’re pancake city. Reminds me of that bridge in New Mombasa at the police department mission."
ROMEO: "Oh man… yeah, I thought I was done for back then."
JOHNSON (smirking): "Relax, just keep moving… and maybe hold hands if it helps."
BUCK (teasing Romeo): "Picture the Covenant as flying bugs, you’ll be fine."
ROMEO: "Yeah, yeah… hopefully this time they don’t shoot me mid-step."
They carefully cross, dust and rocks falling into the chasm below.
JOHNSON (over comms): "Veronica, this sector’s clear. No AA turrets, no surprises… we’re good."
DARE: "Copy that, Johnson. Excellent work, team."
BUCK: "Finally… I thought we’d never get off that bridge alive."
ROMEO (relieved): "Yeah… my knees are still shaking."
JOHNSON (grinning): "Alright, enough reminiscing. I’ve got orders. moving out. Sierra-117’s waiting, and I don’t want to keep him guessing."
BUCK: "Good luck, Johnson. Try not to get yourself eaten before you meet him."
ROMEO (muttering): "Figures he’s off to the big leagues while we babysit the bugs…"
JOHNSON: "Relax, boys. I’ll catch you on the flip side. Keep the bridge intact, would ya?"
Johnson moves off toward the pelican, leaving Buck and Romeo at the top of the Mesa to regroup and prepare for extraction.

 All right, listen up! This is the last push. We drop, we move, we deactivate that tower—or the whole damn Ark goes up in flames. Stay sharp, Marines.
BUCK:
 Alpha-9, you heard the man. Lock in. We can’t risk losing troops in orbital space, so we're all hitting ground together.

 Shipmaster, come in. Are you ever planning to get your alien troops back here? Brute forces everywhere!
R’TAS VADUM (calm, stern):
 The battlefield is chaos already, Sergeant. We will not deploy more ground units. But… I will cover you from the skies. No more Elite lives wasted today.

 We shall see you through, Sergeant.

 Johnson!!

R’TAS (Stoic): Do not thank me yet. The war is not won.
DARE: Let’s get out of here.
Dutch pats Rookie on the shoulder.
DUTCH: You did good, kid.
The Phantom climbs into the clouds, leaving behind the battlefield… and Johnson’s capture.

ROMEO: On me, Rookie.
Rookie and ROMEO proceed, navigating through the blizzard, and eventually find MICKEY and DUTCH.

ROMEO: My bad. Wasn’t thinking a ship would wreck our ship in half…
MICKEY: It’s all right. We’re together now. Let’s go get Buck.
ROMEO: Let’s go…
The team moves forward and finds BUCK and VERONICA fighting tooth and nail against the Flood.

Mickey (panting, relieved):
 "That… was too close."
Veronica:
 "… we did it."

BUCK (softly): …What about us?
Dare takes his hand. Then she kisses him.
For the first time since the war began — both can finally breathe.
END OF CAMPAIGN


CLEAR SOME HISTORICAL ERRORS, THEY ARE NOT SERACHING FOR THE PROPHET OF TRUTH,

RTAS DOESNT REFER THE GRAVEMIND AS “GRAVEMIND” MORE AS “PARASITE”
RTAS ADRESSING ALPHA 9’S COULDNT COME BACK WITH JOHNSON AND RTAS SAYING SOMETHING COLD BUT TRUTHFUL. WAR DOESNT FORGIVE..
