00:30What is this stuff?
00:33Knowledge. A birthright from an ancient civilization.
00:38This AI is its custodian, and she has chosen you as her couriers.
00:44Chosen? By an AI?
00:47By this AI, yes. Her measure of you carries as much weight as my own. Perhaps more.
00:54You are to take her to the UNSC shipbreaking yard in Azad.
00:58There, you'll find a Halcyon-class cruiser waiting to get her off-planet.
01:02I understand.
01:03Do you?
01:05Mankind is outmatched. When Reach falls, and it will fall, our annihilation is all but certain.
01:12Unless...
01:13We can glean from this artifact a defense against the Covenant.
01:17A game-changer.
01:19On the level of the conical bullet in the 19th century, or faster than light travel in the 23rd.
01:24And what if we can't?

01:55Take it, Lieutenant. She has made her choice.
02:02Do you have it?
02:03Yes.
02:04Say the words, please.
02:06I have it.
