Alright, it should be just up this road.
--What's up the road?
The objective.
--What's the objective?
(sigh)
I have to find my squadmate, Dutch.
--But, if he's right here, why did you need my help?
Honestly, I only said that so you wouldn't argue
You're still a civilian and protocols are protocols.
--So you're evacuating me anyway?
(sigh)... it's--
It's like cards. You want the best in your hand, if you don't have it, you bluff.
You don't always know what your opponent has, but one thing's for sure is that you're always gambling!
--Um, what?
Nothing, just frustrated.
You'know, I don't believe I caught your name.
--Oh, it's Flare.
Flare? That's an... interesting name.
Come on, let's get you a weapon.
...
--Aw, cool!
Goddamnit, Virgil!
--Who's Virgil?
You wouldn't understand.
--I'm sure I will.
(sigh)
He's the city.
--I don't understand.
EXACTLY, you know the superintendent that runs the city?
--Yeah.
Well, Virgil's a subroutine that's helping me get through the city.
One of the things he's supposed to do is give me a vehicle--
--Uh -huh.
(sigh)
Nevermind, I guess I should be greatful for the sniper.
Here, take my pistol.
--Uh, thanks.
You do know how to use that, right?
--Yeah just... aim and shoot.
Yeah close enough.
(pistol fire)
What'd you just shoot?
--I killed a bird lookin' thing!
Where?
--All the way over there!
Wow, must've been a jackal.
--Pfft, jackals are dogs, not birds.
Yeah, I don't understand the terminology either.
But hey, you're quite the marksman!
--Thanks!
I might put in a good word for you after all this is over.
--That would be awesome!
Alright, let's get back on task, we gotta find Dutch.
Virgil said he was in the reserve.
With any luck, he'll still be there.
...
(rattling)
Locked.
(sigh) Figures.
Screw it, I'll find Dutch my own way!
...
Alright, let's see here...
Hmm...
--Why are you looking here?
Hmm...
Ah-Ha!
--What's that?
It's the fighter optics from that drone back there.
Still got some power in it.
--And what's that gonna tell you?
Virgil, can you link to this for playback?
(chime)
(video plays)
(marine)- Colonel? Sector's clear, and we found some backup!
(Dutch)- ODST, reporting for duty, sir.
There he is! Well, was.
(Colonel)- Nice of you to drop in, trooper, you're almost at second platoon's location.
(Colonel)- Give 'em a hand and push to the primary objective!
(Dutch)- What is the objective, Colonel?
(Colonel)- You know the Covenant carrier that slipped away from the city?
(Colonel)- We need to secure it's old LZ, *** a tier one asset.
(marine)- Once we clear this enemy armor, we can roll across the bridge to his location.
(marine)- Look, the elevator! Incoming!
(Space elevator collapses)
(Dutch)- What the hell just happened?--
(Video cuts out)
--Wow...
--We need to watch movies on this thing!
What was that he said about a tier one asset? The ship's old LZ?
(chime)

Alright, come on Flare, we've got a new lead!
--OK!
