"Scanning... Just dust and echoes. We're all that's left. We did what we had to do—for Earth. An entire Covenant armada obliterated, and the Flood. We had no choice. Halo... it's finished." "No. I think we're just getting started."

"Last time you asked me, if it were my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed. There is no choice. We must activate the ring."

"Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the fourth dimension? Have you? To be exiles? Susan and I are cut off from our own planet, without friends or protection. But one day we shall get back. Yes, one day. One day."

"The Covenant believe that what they call the 'Silent Cartographer' is somewhere under this island. The Cartographer is a map room that will lead us to Halo's control center. The island has multiple structures and installations—one of them contains the map room."

"According to the data in their networks, the ring has some kind of deep religious significance. If I'm analyzing this correctly, they believe that "Halo" is some kind of weapon. One with vast, unimaginable power."
