S1DC Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 <embed src="http://haloonline.net/music/Halo_TotalAudio.mp3"> </a> I have decided to enlighten those of you who have never had the chance to play halo to read the story of the game. For those of you who own or plan on playing halo, don;t read these: They will give away the game. Level 01: PILLAR OF AUTUMN Part 01 : Pillar of Autumn (Opening cinematic-flyby of the Pillar of Autumn approaching Halo) KEYES: Cortana, all I need to know is, did we lose them? CORTANA: I think we both know the answer to that. (Pause, cut to interior of PoA's bridge) KEYES: We made a blind jump.... How did they - CORTANA: Get here first? The Covenant ships have always been faster. As for tracking us all the way from Reach, at light speed my maneuvering options were limited. KEYES: We were running dark, yes? CORTANA: Until we decellerated. No one could have missed the hole we tore in subspace. (pause) They were waiting for us on the far side of the planet. KEYES: So, where do we stand? CORTANA: Our fighters are mopping up the last of their Recon picket now, nothing serious. But, I've isolated approach signatures from multiple CCS-class battlegroups. Make it three capital ships per group. And in about ninety seconds they'll be all over us. KEYES: Well, that's it then. Bring the ship back up to Combat Alert Alpha. I want everyone at their station. CORTANA: Everyone sir? KEYES: Everyone. And, Cortana... CORTANA: Hmm? KEYES: Let's give our old friends a warm welcome. CORTANA: I've already begun. (Cut to interior of a hangar bay of some sort. Things flying around, marines walking and running around, jeeps, tanks, dropships. A single Longsword fighter-for a sense of scale, it's easily six or seven times as large as a dropship.) LOUDSPEAKER: Attention all combat personnel. Please report to your action stations. (long pause. Jeep drives around. Camera follows it.) Fifth Platoon, secure airlocks on Deck Eleven. Fourteenth Platoon, rendezvous with 22nd Tactical at Bulkhead Charlie 14. SERGEANT: You heard the lady. Move like you got a purpose. (Marines fall in.) LOUDSPEAKER: This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. SERGEANT: Once again, it is our job to finish what the flyboys started. We are leaving this ship platoon, and engaging the Covenant on solid ground. When we meet the enemy, we will rip their skulls from their spine, and toss 'em away, laughin'! (Pause) (Loud) Am I right, Marines? MARINES: Sir yes Sir! SERGEANT: Mmmmhmmm. Damn right I am. Now move it out! Double time! (Pause as the marines move out.) LOUDSPEAKER: Attention all personnel. We are re-engaging the enemy. External and internal contacts imminent. SERGEANT: All you greenhorns who wanted to see Covenant up close...this is gonna be your lucky day. (cut to tech room, where the the master-cheif is kept in stasis.) (Cut to view of screen. Words: Unseal the hushed casket.) TECH 1: Whoa...Sir? TECH 2: Right. Let's thaw him out. TECH 1: Okay. Bringing low-level systems online. Cracking the case in thirty seconds. (Pause) He's hot! Blowing the pins in five! TO BE CONTINUED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1DC Posted March 28, 2002 Author Share Posted March 28, 2002 Part 02: Reveille TECH 1: Tube shows green. Cycle complete. TECH 2: Sorry for the quick thaw, Master Chief. Things are a little hectic right now. The disorientation should pass quickly. TECH 1: Welcome back, Sir. We'll have you battle-ready stat. TECH 2: Chief, please look around the room. I need to get a calibration reading for your suit's diagnostics. TECH 1: I'm bringing your health monitors online, Sir. TECH 2: Vital signs look normal. No freezer burn. Okay, sir, go ahead and climb out of the cryo tube. (Pause as the Chief climbs out) I gave you a double-dose of the wakeup stim. Take a quick walk around the cryo bay and join me at the optical diagnostics station when you're ready. (pause) Stand on the red square please. I know the ordinance techs usually take care of your targeting sensors, but we're short of time, Chief. Just look at each of the flashing panels to target them. When you lock on, it'll target them. TECH 1: Sir, I'm getting some calibration errors. I'm going to invert your looking pitch, so you can see if you like it better that way. Try targeting the flashing lights again. Is that better or should I switch it back? Okay. Try looking up and down again please. Do you want me to leave it like that, or switch it again? Okay, I'll leave the pitch normal. But if you want, you can change it yourself, later. I'm ready for the energy shield test now. TECH 2: Follow me to the energy shield test station. LOUDSPEAKER: Fire teams: sensors show inbound Covenant boarding craft. Stand by to repel boarders. TECH 2: Okay, bring his energy shields online please. TECH 1: Alright. Shields read as fully charged. TECH 2: Okay Sir. Bring them down to test the automatic recharge. TECH 1: Recharging normal. It's showing green across the board. KEYES: Bridge to Cryo 2, this is Capt. Keyes. Send the Master Chief to the bridge immediately. TECH 2: Captain, we'll have to skip the weapons diagnostics and I- KEYES: On the double, crewman. TECH 2: Aye aye sir. (Pause) The skipper seems jumpy, we'd better get moving. We'll find you weapons later. TECH 1: Okay. I'll leave the self-diagnostics running, at least. TECH 2: ou'd better get to your evac group, Sam! TECH 1: Affirmative. I just have to reset the computer and I'm outta here! (banging on the door) Oh god! They're trying to get through the door! Security! Intruders in Cryo 2! No, please don't-AHHHHH!!! TECH 2: Sam! Sam! C'mon, we've got to get the hell out of here. This way! (The door explodes in front of tech 2, killing him) (After the marines blast the Elite waiting for you at the second door you pass through) MARINE 1: Chief, Cortana says, get to the bridge, double quick! (Run along some more) MARINE 2 (Aussie): Sir! The Captain needs you on the bridge, ASAP! You better follow me. (As you encounter another group of Covenant) MARINE 2: Get clear, Chief! (Once you get to the bridge) MARINE 2: Captain Keyes is waiting for us, Sir! (Cinematic) MASTER CHIEF: Captain Keyes... KEYES: Good to see you, Master Chief. Things aren't going well. Cortana did her best, but we never really had a chance. CORTANA: A dozen Covenant superior battleships against a single Halcyon-class cruiser. Given those odds I'm content with three...make that four kills. (Turns to Chief) Sleep well? CHIEF: No thanks to your driving, yes. CORTANA: So you did miss me. (Large explosion) KEYES: Report! CORTANA: It must have been one of their boarding parties! I'd guess an anti-matter charge! CREWMAN 1: Ma'am! Fire control for the main cannon is offline! CORTANA: Captain, the cannon was my last offensive option! KEYES: Alright, that's enough. I'm initiating Cole Protocol Article 2. We're abandoning the Autumn. That means you too, Cortana. CORTANA: While you do what, go down with the ship? KEYES: In a manner of speaking. The object we found, I'm going to try and land the Autumn on it. CORTANA: With all due respect Sir, this war has enough dead heroes. KEYES: I appreciate your concern, Cortana, but it's not up to me. The Protocol is clear. Destruction or capture of a shipboard AI is absolutely unacceptable, and that's means you're leaving the ship. Lock in a selection of landing zones, upload them to my neural lace, and then sort yourself for a hard transfer. CORTANA: Aye aye, Sir. KEYES: Which is where you come in, Chief. Get Cortana off this ship. Keep her away from the enemy. If they capture her, they'll learn everything: force deployment, weapons research...Earth. CHIEF: I understand. CORTANA: The Autumn will continue evasive maneuvers until you initiate a landing sequence. Not that you'll listen, but I'd suggest letting my subroutines handle the final approach. KEYES: Excellent work, Cortana. Thank you. Are you ready? (Pause) CORTANA: Yank me. (Keyes pulls Cortana's chip out of the holo display, and hands it to the Master Chief, who plugs it into a slot on the left side of his helmet) KEYES: Good luck Master Chief.

S1DC Posted March 28, 2002 Author Share Posted March 28, 2002 Glad ya like it Part 03: AI Constructs and Cyborgs First! CORTANA: Your architecture isn't much different from the Autumn's... CHIEF: Don't get any funny ideas. KEYES: (Handing you his pistol) I don't keep it loaded, so you'll have to find ammo as you go. (Upon seeing a group of Marines engaging the Covenant in the mess hall) CORTANA: Those Marines could use some help, Chief. Do what you do best. (at this point in the game, you do alot of fighting. I'll insert what happend to me while i was playing, so this is not all just dialogue.) MC begins his attempt to help the marines, dive between tables and chairs as half eaten meals rip apart between the gunfire of human balistic weapons and Cov plasma weapons. Smoldering hold apear on the walls where the plasma hits, and the cov begin dropping like flies to the bullet of the humans. One marine is hit by a plasma burst and begins to scream "IT BURNS! IT BURNS! AAAAUUGH!" CORTANA: Keep your head down, there's two of us in here now, remember?! (Upon coming across a group of three marines, and hearing a large explosion) MARINE 4: What the hell? Did something just hit us? MARINE 5: Move it! Back to the airlock! (Upon first seeing a Covenant boarding vessel) KEYES (over loudspeakers): Combat teams on decks five through nine, fall back to secondary defensive positions. CORTANA: They're using our lifeboat airlocks to attach their boarding craft...we go out and they come in. Clever bastards... The master cheif and his marines continue fighting thier way down the halls towards the covenant drop ship area when- KEYES (over loudspeakers): Ops personnel on decks nine through twelve, report to evac stations now. (As MC comes into a room where the Covenant are on a ledge above him) CORTANA: Covenant! On the landing above us! The master chief dives behind a large console, and begins picking off covenant elites. One elite lands a shot to MC's helmet, and drops his shields. As MC drops back behind the console to recharge his shilds- KEYES (over loudspeaker): All hands. This is the Captain. Prepare to abandon ship. Combat teams, repel boarders until Ops personnel are away. Good luck. Keyes out. (MC sees a lifepod launching with lasers bursting all around it) CORTANA: The lifepods are launching. We should hurry. (Pause, while lots of explosions occur) CORTANA: The Covenant are destroying the lifepods...they really don't want us on that ring. (Pause) Warning...blast doors closing! We have to use the ship's maintenance access ways. Follow the navpoint, it will lead you to an opening. MC continues to run to the access ways, and gets in. Rushing groups of Grunts on his way, ends up at a door- CORTANA: I'm detecting Covenant movement outside the accessways. Activating motion tracker. Let's find a safe exit. KEYES (over loudspeaker): Combat teams Alpha through November, pull out to nearest evac station. MC turns, runs down the hall, end begin exiting a door- CORTANA: We're too close. We need to find another route. MC turns back around only to see a Grunt with a fully charged weapon aimed at him. MC quickly lashes out with his pistol and knocks the grunt out. As he continues to run down the access way, he finds a marines MA5B Assault Rifle. MC heads towards the alternate exit- CORTANA: Motion tracker shows all clear. (Coming to a broken door) CORTANA: Wait...we need to get through that door, but it's been damaged by an explosion. Analyzing... The door's control mechanism is offline, but it's taken a lot of damage. You should be able to bash it open with the butt of your weapon. MC smashes open the door, and steps into an open hall where marines and Cov are fighting. MC tosses a frag grenade in the direction of the Cov fighters, and hears their alien screams as they fly about thier confines. KEYES (over loudspeaker): Combat teams Sierra through Victor, prepare for evac. (As MC crosses through the control room for his cryo bay he sees an Elite standing in the bay) CORTANA: It looks like the Covenant wanted to catch you napping. Continuing down the halls towards the escape pods, MC encounters a group of elites. He begins firing on them- KEYES (loudspeaker): All combat personnel, fall back to tertiary defensive positions. (Later, while passing through a damaged part of the ship) CORTANA: The damage to the superstructure is extensive...I don't know how much more abuse the Autumn can take! (Later, fight) KEYES (loudspeaker): Combat teams, fall back to secondary defensive positions. (As you pass a lifeboat) CORTANA: There's one last lifeboat! Quickly, get aboard before it launches! (Cinematic) FRIGHTENED MARINE: Oh no...oh no! CORTANA: Now would be a very good time to leave! CHIEF (stepping into the lifepod): Punch it. PILOT: Aye aye, Sir. (Lifepod launches) PILOT: We're disengaged. Goin' fer minimum safe distance. PANICKING MARINE: We're gonna make it, aren't we Sir? I don't wanna die out here! (The Chief pats him on the shoulder) CORTANA: Look! (As Halo swings into view and the Bumblebee drops towards it) STRAPPED-IN MARINE: What is that thing, Lieutenant? PILOT: Hell if I know. But we're landin' on it. CRAZY FREAKIN' OUT FOOL OF A MARINE: The Autumn! She's been hit! CORTANA: I knew it! The Autumn's accelerating, Keyes is going in manually! PILOT: Heads-up everyone, this is it. We're entering the ring's atmosphere in five... The dropship hurtles towards the alien ring, as re-entry flames burst out arond it. The pod begins to shake violently, and MC continues to stand, braced between to seats- CORTANA: Sure you wouldn't rather take a seat? CHIEF: We'll be fine. CORTANA: If I still had fingers, they'd be crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1DC Posted April 5, 2002 Author Share Posted April 5, 2002 heh, forgive my procrastination.... the damn plugins were making it it difficult to post. but now, i continue... Level 02: HALO Part 01 : Flawless Cowboy CORTANA: We're coming in too fast! PILOT: Damn! Airbrake failure! They blew too early! I'm losin' her...brace for impact! (White out) CORTANA: Chief! Chief, can you hear me? At last...are you alright? Can you move? (As you exit the lifepod) The others...the impact. There's nothing we can do. The chief stumbles out of the broken craft, only to notice his dead compatriots. As he heads toward a small river... CORTANA: Warning. I've detected multiple Covenant dropships on approach. I recommend moving into those hills. If we're lucky, the Covenant will believe that everyone aboard this lifeboat died in the crash. The chief heads for the hills, and examines a few plants along the way... noticing no animal wildlife... CORTANA: I'm reading thousands of types of flora. The ring's ecosystem is incredibly sophisticated. (As a dropship approaches) CORTANA: Alert! Covenant dropship inbound! They must be looking for survivors. I recommend immediate evasion. (You Wait a bit) CORTANA: I'm reading a lifeboat beacon over the next hill. We should check to see if there are any survivors. The Chief heads towards the node, but is attacked by a small search party. After a short struggle, the aliens lie dead in front of the chief. The chif then proceedes to the marines... SERGEANT H1: It's a mess, Sir. We're scattered all over this valley. We called for evac, but until you showed up, I thought we were cooked. CORTANA: Don't worry Sergeant. We'll stay here until evac arrives. MARINE X (over radio): Heads up! I got a Covenant dropship headin' in, over here! A dropship comes over the horizon... MARINE X (radio): Look sharp! Covenant dropship on approach! I could use some help over here! The chief throws a grenagde under the ship, killing several cov. The remaining cov troops begin shooting at the marines, just as the chief decides o run into the fray close up. With 3 mighty swings of his rifle, he smashes in the skulls of the remaining cov wariors. MARINE X (radio): Uh oh, another bandit droppin' in behind us! They're tryin' to flank us! The final wave of dropship fighters fals upon the troops, as they battle feircely for several minutes. The chief stans on the strange structure in the center of the battle feild, picking off the stragglers with a plasma rifle when- FOE HAMMER: This is Pelican Echo 419. Anybody readin' me? Repeat. Any UNSC personnel respond. MARINE X (radio): Roger, Echo 419. This is Fire Team Charlie. We read you 5-by-5. That you, Foe Hammer? FOE HAMMER: Roger, Fire Team Charlie. Good to hear from ya. MARINE X (radio): If you're not too busy, Foe Hammer, we could use a lift. We have survivors to transport to the command shuttle. CORTANA: Look, more lifeboats! They're coming in fast. If those lifeboats make it down, the Covenant are going to be right on top of them. (over radio to Foe Hammer) Foe Hammer, we need you to disengage your Warthog. The Master Chief and I are going to see if we can save some soldiers. FOE HAMMER: Roger, Cortana. Okay, Charlie Team, Warthog deployed. Saddle up and give 'em hell. CORTANA: Roger, Foe Hammer. Stand by to evac survivors and transport them to safety. FOE HAMMER: That's affimative. Echo 419 staying on station. Foe Hammer out. CORTANA: The Master Chief and I need some backup, can you spare a few men? SERGEANT: All right, volunteers step up! A few men step forward, the rest remain to fend off cov troops. As you climb into the warthog, one of the men glaces towards you. They have never fight beside a MK-V before. CORTANA: This cave is not a natural formation. Someone built it, so it must lead somewhere. (Pause) I've hacked into the Covenant battlenet. They're actually broadcasting tactical data on unencrypted channels. We should show them who they're dealing with. Master Chief, I'm going to use your suit's transpond system to monitor their chatter. The cheif and his marines drive into a huge cavern, with a casm accross the center. On either end of the chasm, paved road contiues off to a door, and two arches stand accross from each other on either side of the chasm. Several Cov are already in the room, but are made quick work by the warthogs heavy guns. CORTANA: There must be some mechanism to cross this cavern. Look for a control panel or switch. (Cinematic: When you find the panel and engage it, you get a nice little cinematic of the giant silver beam-generating structures extending across the chasm, and an energy bridge slowly fading into existence) The chief watches the bidge appear from nowhere. After deciding to leave the warthog behind, he continues along the bridge. CORTANA: New traffic on the Covenant battlenet...a lot more crew made it off the Autumn than I had expected. A lot more crew made it off the Autumn than I had expected. If we can find Captain Keyes and the other survivors, we have a chance to coordinate an effective resistance. The chief listens in silence as cortana speaks. he is focused on his mission... not entirely sure what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
