00:13Captain Keyes?
00:16Good to see you, Master Chief.
00:23Things aren't going well.
00:25Cortana did her best, but we never really had a chance.
00:28A dozen Covenant superior battleships against a single Halcyon-class cruiser.
00:33With those odds, I'm content with three.
00:36Make that four kills.
00:37Sleep well.
00:39No thanks for your driving, yes.
00:42So you did miss me.
00:55Report!
00:56It must be one of their boarding parties.
00:58I'd guess an antimatter charge.
01:00Ma'am!
01:00Fire control for the main cannon is offline!
01:03Captain, the cannon was my last offensive option.
01:10All right, then.
01:17I'm initiating Coal Protocol Article 2.
01:19We're abandoning the autumn.
01:21That means you too, Cortana.
01:23Well, you do what?
01:25Go down with the ship?
01:26In a manner of speaking.
01:28The object we found.
01:30I'm going to try to land the autumn on it.
01:32With all due respect, sir, this war has enough dead heroes.
01:36I appreciate your concern, Cortana, but it's not up to me.
01:39The protocol is clear.
01:41Destruction or capture of a shipboard AI is absolutely unacceptable.
01:44And that means you're leaving ship.
01:46Lock in a selection of emergency landing zones.
01:49Upload them to my neural lease.
01:51Then sort yourself for a hard transfer.
01:52Aye, aye, sir.
02:02Which is where you come in, Chief?
02:05Get Cortana off this ship.
02:07Keep her safe from the enemy.
02:09If they capture her, they'll learn everything.
02:11Force deployment, weapons research.
02:15Earth.
02:18I understand.
02:20If all goes well, we'll rendezvous in the object's surface.
02:23And if it doesn't...
02:28Make sure my daughter gets this.
02:40The autumn will continue evasive maneuvers until you initiate a landing sequence.
02:44Not that you'll listen, but I'd suggest letting my subroutines handle the final approach.
02:49Excellent work, Cortana.
02:52Are you ready?
02:53Are you ready?
