Halo: Infinite (My Version)

Chapter 5: Excavation Site

The group exits the Tower.

Weapon: I'm guessing whatever the Conservatory is, the Banished won't want us anywhere near it.

John-117: Then they'll be disappointed.

Weapon: Yes they will.

Lieutenant Davies remain quiet.

Yui: Big brother...

Jaden-S316: I'm fine...

Kirito: No your not! You've been like that when we found Spartan Stone. And now Spartan Griffin is dead. How can you be fine!

Jaden-S316: You wouldn't understand!

Kirito: Try us!

Crimson One remains quiet and walks ahead.

Klein: Geez. What's with him? I mean nobody died right?

Horiro-S426: You really don't know the full story do you.

Asuna: What do you mean?

Emily-S214: Before Fireteam Crimson, Lieutenant Davies had another team...NOBLE Team.

Jaune: NOBLE Team? I didn't know that Jaden had a team before you guys?

Emily-S214: NOBLE Team is a team consisting of five SPARTAN-III's and a SPARTAN-II. They operated on plenty of missions in the past. Until most members of the team were killed during the Battle of Reach.

Lisbeth: Who were his teammates...

Horiro-S426: Carter-A259, Catherine-B320, Jun-A266, Emile-A239 and Jorge-052.

Ruby: What happened to them?

Emily-S214: Jorge blew himself up by detonating a slip-space bomb to destroy both a Covenant Corvette in orbit above Reach and a Covenant supercarrier along with it.

Yang: And the others? What happened to them?

Horiro-S426: Lieutenant Commander Catherine-B320 was shot by a Needle Rifle. The round punches straight through the helmet and exits through her visor. Killing her in the process. Warrant Officer Jun-A266 was assigned to escort Dr. Halsey to CASTLE Base. But is still alive. Commander Carter-A259 rammed a pelican towards a Covenant Scarab. And Warrant Officer Emile-A239 was impale from behind by a Zealot with an Energy Sword making the Lieutenant the last active member of NOBLE Team.

Pyrrha: We didn't know...

Emily-S214: It's okay. However he managed to get off Reach by a Sabre. Which led him to the discovery that was made by man... Alpha Halo.

Penny: Alpha Halo? Where's that?

Horiro-S426: It's destroyed. Trust me you don't want to know.

Blake: Ok?

The group heads north towards the dig site. The Spartans breaks through a Banished blockade guarding a recently established bridge.

Pilot (COM): Hey, where are you going?

Weapon: The Banished are searching for something called the Conservatory.

Pilot (COM): Let me guess: You're heading there too.

Jaden-S316: Affirmative.

Pilot (COM): Well, don't worry about me. I'll be here. Waiting. Alone.

Jaden-S316: We'll be in touch.

Pilot (COM): Just... don't leave me out here for too long. Okay? I mean it.

The group heads to the dig site, which has been established at the base of a mountain ridge. The area around it is completely barren, the Banished having stripped the land of all natural resources.
