You did the right thing, to leave him behind.
No, it wasn't the right thing captain.
We could have gotten him out in one piece and not get ourselves killed in the process.
I thought you didn't like him anyway?
He was useless to Romeo
squad, and to us.
It wasn't human to do that, just because he wasn't the best at what he did, doesn't mean we had to abandon him
on that living hell down there. Look at it!
Alexander! You need to learn how to let go of things. look back at the
circumstances. We would've died making the situation even worse!
He could've gotten better, what would you think if that was you? Being left
behind like that? Left to die?
I would've wanted you guys to leave me.
I would've believed you could've done just fine without me.
Death is a part of life commander.
Remember that.
Remember that.
Romeo 2, do you copy?
Romeo 5, do you copy? 253?
I am still here reclaimer.
At least it's something, how long have I been out?
It has been 3 years, 1 month and 4 days
sense we left installation 06.
Location is unknown.
I can see that, is the rest of Romeo still alive?
Scanning... That is what they're cryotubes state sire.
Well, how long 'till we can take them out?
About another 5 days
and 3 hours due to all of the frost and lack
of energy on the ship...
UNSC Aethon, return back to the ONI base. You do not have permission to leave planet Reach.
...Lack of energy on the ship. The ship was heavily damaged leaving Installation 06.
Damaging the main power cores and fuel coolers.
Damn. Any lifepods left?
No sire, all functioning lifepods
lack the energy to fuel them.
Did, she make it out alive?
Scanning...
Scanning... It appears that there are no records
of her escaping installation06 or her
sending messages to the Aethon. Terribly sorry sire.
hopefully we'll be found soon.
This might be delayed due to the lack of power to
send out a warning beacon. Again, terribly sorry sire.
Well are the research data and archives still accessible?
scanning...
Yes sire, the archives are still intact. But not accessible at the moment.
Wait...
Romeo 2!
Cole!
Cole!
No...
I can try to revert all sources of power the bridge to try to
send a warning beacon if wished sire. Would you like me to do this
sire?
Joseph? Joseph?
ODST? Joseph?
Sire?
Fall back! Fall back!
Yes sir!
Ok sir, I think
we should split up again, we'll be able to cover more ground until EVAC arrives.
You sure about this?
Yup I'm pretty sure!
No...
No... First they take Cole,
Sire.
First they take Cole, now they take Joseph...
Sire.
And now Rookie's probably gone with them!
Sire, from your
increasing vital signs, one would assume you are suffering...
Damn it!
It is advised that you calm down for your own safety.
I'm not going to be the only survivor on this damn ship!
I'M NOT!
This panic attack may be a symptom of Post Traumatic stress Disorder.
I'm not! I'm just not! No!
Perhaps this isn't very surprising. Considering, what you have been through.
I'm sorry 253 I...
...I don't know come over me.
253?
Sire?
Were we attacked while we were asleep? Theres a banshee up there.
This event is possible, though there are no records to confirm this.
May I ask, why are you are asking?
I'm just wondering how...
...How did it get there.
It is quite peculiar how it got here.
This is quite an odd event, no records on file can explain this.
Well, we were attacked while we were sleeping I guess. Can you still send a warning beacon?
Scanning...
Scanning...Scanning...Scanning...
What's going on?!
now would be a good time!
There are multiple unidentified objects hitting the Aethon. I can not tell if
they're signals are human, or Covenant.
Wait more Covenant?!
I am processing they're signal now, it appears that they are...
