Music Multiple targets are perching from the west. It's an army of ghosts. And they're rushing us. We can use the gate as a bottleneck, just aim in fire. All right, just remember to save some for me. Lansing, you take the turret. Yes, sir. Music Music We shouldn't even be here. This planet is deep in covenant space. We should be evacuating, not sending in more troops. Titanus 7 is worth it. There is enough ore on that plant to build a whole fleet of ships. But Charibus 3, the entire planet is about to be sucked into a black hole. There's nothing here to defend. I'll talk to the captain. Music Whoa, what's that? That is what we're defending. At first, we thought it was forerunner, but it doesn't match their architecture. According to all our scanners, this thing doesn't even exist. Whatever it is, we couldn't let the covenant get their hands on it. All physical objects seem to pass through it. We couldn't move it, so they'd vote the mountain around it. Music It's empty. Music We got company. It must have broken through the defenses. Music Don't let them get to it. Music Our scanners are detecting it, and it's opening. What? Daniels, Jonas, Lansing, take cover. Music Four distinct species detected, human and three uncatalogged. X-derminate, thank you, humans. They shouldn't be able to detect us from behind this barricade. I got one rocket for each of those things. Stand down, Jonas. We don't know what these things are capable of. Horror What are you doing? Don't you see the four runners have revealed themselves at last? Ten, four runner is not recognized, explain. You are the four runners, the creators of the synchro-drings. Those who will lead us on the great journey. Your belief is incorrect. You will be exterminated. Oh! We've got to get out of here now. There's a hornet near the eastern perimeter. A warrior does not flee in the midst of battle. This doesn't have battle. It's a massacre. There are humans escaping. Pesu and exterminate the humans. I will deal with the others. Back so soon, sir. We were attacked by... I don't know what they were. They won't be far behind me. Take the hunters and intercept them. Me? Yes, you. Get ready! Fire! Exterminate! Maximum extermination! Exterminate! The hog can't go any farther. We'll have to proceed on foot. Exterminate! Exterminate! Well, here it is. We should hurry. Those things might be following us. Exterminate! Quick, take the hornet. Negative, sir. You're the superior officer. There's no time to explain. Now go. That's an order. Exterminate! What do we do now? We can't get off this rock. What about those things? They're the Covenants problem now. This is Private Daniel's broadcasting on all UNSC frequencies. My squad's in a transport hornet over sharp to three requesting immediate EVAC. Oh, come on. The odds of a ship being in range. I'm getting a response. The world's end. Stand by and prepare for docking. Engage at Misfiora Combat Mode. Now leaving at Misfior. You
