Halo Infinite : Memory Agent/2 VO

Ordinateur de bord: Emergency alert. Emergency alert.

Lieutenant (Monologue): Why am I not freaking out, right now? You would think someone with no memory would scream like a lunatic when they hear “emergency alert”. But there is a feeling inside of me that knows.

Lieutenant: Oliver, status update!

Oliver: The alarm indicates that we are no longer in a networked sector. No UNSC ship will come to our rescue if we are captured. Our mission is... off the books.

Lieutenant: Have we been spotted by any non-UNSC ships?

Oliver: Affirmative. But most of the vessels who are aware of our presence are farther than our run to the rendez vous point.

Lieutenant: Most?

Oliver: I’ve been wrong before.

Lieutenant: O-hoho, have you been wrong on any of our previous missions?

Oliver: For your emotional well-being, I’d rather not respond this stage of your consciousness cycle.

Lieutenant (Monologue): It’s weird when you realize an IA knows more about your emotional well-being than you do. Here’s what I know: I know how to act in emergency, I know how to fire a pistol, I know that I’m part of a war effort. Other than that… Nothing.

Lieutenant (Monologue): Deep breaths. This is supposed to be my last mission and I better just keep my head down and follow through.

Oliver: Lieutenant? Your biofeedback just registered a slight increase in cortisol before leveling out. Just wanted you to be aware.

Lieutenant: Thank you for that. Oliver, why did Mateas laugh when I asked about the Master Chief? Is he… well-known?

Oliver: Affirmative. Spartan 1-1-7’s exploits are well-known among military and civilian populations.

Lieutenant (Monologue): Have I met him before?

Lieutenant: Access his personnel file, put it on visual.

Lieutenant: The only thing it says on here is “Spartan Two”. Is there anything else you can access?

Oliver: The UNSC Archives contain many first-hand recollections. But Lieutenant, researching the rendez-vous target is not critical to this mission.

Lieutenant: Oliver, if there is a twenty-eight percent chance that I’m going to die, I would at least like to know who it was I died trying to reach.

Oliver: Opening UNSC Archives.

Lieutenant: Stop. Play that.

Oliver: This is from the UNESCO New Mombasa Heritage Site Reflections Project.

Fate Abdi: My name is Fate Abdi and I worked for Mombasa Water and Power. I am an hydrological scientist by training, basically I oversaw the critical pipelines for the city. I was at work when the ships came. I thought it was a storm at first, but we all looked out the window and… there was a white-hot streak cutting across the sky, then another, and then within seconds, destruction… All around us. People outside running for their lives, screaming and… and dying. It was… unbelievable. My co-workers and I evacuated to the closest port, trying not to look at all the carnage around us. But then, we heard this loud boom, boom, boom, and crawling over the wreckage of buildings was this… giant… robot crab.

Oliver: Lieutenant, the civilian is referring to an enemy vehicle. Covenant heavy assault platform. A Scarab.

Fate Abdi: The way that Scarab stomped over the city I called my home, its history, its beauty… It felt like all of humanity was like… a cigarette butt. We turned a corner only to reach a dead end. And there’s a troupe of ugly little bastards pointing their blast guns right at us! I closed my eyes because maybe dying doesn’t hurt as bad with your eyes closed, and then I start hearing shots. Brrt, brrt, brrt! Then… Silence. The shots stopped but I’m still alive! I opened my eyes, and there were all the Grunts dead on front of us, killed by this… giant armored soldier. It was… the Master Chief! The Master Chief saved our lives! The Master Chief nodded at us and took off. It was just a nod to him, but to us! Oh, it felt like he was reminding us that we count too! We may not know how to fight aliens, but all of us, we all have something to offer. We all have to survive. We started hugging and sobbing, but then we all heard an alert on our comms. The sea wall was breached and the reservoirs were at capacity, the entire city was going to be flooded, unless the overloaded pipelines were diverted. My pipelines! I needed to open the water release pathways. I can’t lie, I was scared! But I thought again about the Master Chief nodding. I raced back to the building, and I was standing in the control room, trying to figure out which emergency spillway to open, the one near the canals, or near the train tunnels? I could see what was happening on the monitors. The Master Chief and soldiers were trying to shoot down the Scarab near the canals, and it was clear they were on the loosing end. The canals would be like a lobster trap, easy to find its way into but not so easy to get out of. And then the sluice gates and overpasses would keep it cramped in place. So I opened the spillway which flooded the train tunnels. Whoo, the rest is history! Ha! The UNSC was able to divert the Scarab into the dry canal, jamming it in the locks. And the Master Chief destroyed it, haha! And I’ll tell you what: I looked at the Chief on the monitor and I nodded right at him. Just the way he did to me earlier. Yes, I did. Yes, I did…

Oliver: Lieutenant, you appear to be holding your breath. I am programmed to lead guided medications.

Lieutenant: Uh, no, that would be a negative, Oliver.

Lieutenant (Monologue): That civilian, Fate, risked so much.

Lieutenant: When was that battle again, Oliver?

Oliver: 2552.

Lieutenant: And what year is it now?

Oliver: 2559.

Lieutenant (Monologue): Seven years.

Lieutenant: Oliver, how many more first-person accounts are there on the Master Chief?

Oliver: 6480. Wait… 6481.

Lieutenant: Huh. Um, Oliver, I know I might have asked this before, but how long have I been-

Oliver: Lieutenant, you do ask, but not this early. Requiring a hold on your inquiry.

Lieutenant: Why?

Oliver: For the success of the mission.

Lieutenant: Let’s do this a different way: search me in the UNSC Archives.

Oliver: I’m sorry Lieutenant, but I am unable to provide you any information.

Lieutenant: Oliver, I am overriding your pathetic program. Look me up in the Archives.

Oliver: I am unable to look you up in the UNSC Archives because… you do not exist in the UNSC Archives.
