Maine, Carolina, California, and Washington enter the Vault, filled with Covenant weapons and Banshees.

Carolina: Alright everyone, spread out. What we need is here somewhere. It's probably something small, easy to miss. Take as many scans as possible, there may be other things we can use.

Maine picks up a Brute Shot and growls questioningly. Washington walks by and pauses to see Maine show him his new weapon.

Washington: That's a good look.

Cal looks up at the Banshees.

California: Oi, you think these things can still fly?

Maine: Doubt it.

Washington: And even if they did, I still wouldn't even try to fly one of them.

York then comes on the radio.

York: (over the radio) Carolina, motion trackers indicate you got an enemy team outside the door.

Carolina: Well, let's hope they're not as good at picking locks as you are, York. Alright team, we're about to have company.

Washington: Boss, I've got good news and bad news.

Carolina: Hit me.

Washington: We found the markings we're looking for. The bad news is... they're on that.

Wash points to a container with the markings, revealing it to be the Sarcophagus.

Carolina: That?

California: (palms visor) Why am I not surprised?

York: (over the radio) Team A, I got us an exit up here. Straight up the stairwell, door to the roof, helipad.

Carolina: (over radio) Copy, I'll radio air support. (to the others) Now, how are we going to get that thing up to the roof?

Maine shrugs his shoulders and growls.

California: (chuckles) Hey, worst-case scenario? Me and Maine just hump the thing to the roof!

Carolina: (taps radio) York, I saw a window-washing unit on our way into the facility, can you find where it attaches to the building?

York looks and sees the window-washing unit attached to the roof of the building.

York: (sarcastically) I don't know, that's a tough one. Lemme see what I can do.

Washington: What're you up to?

Carolina: Improvising. Come 'ere Maine.

Washington: Improvising? I hate it when we do that.

California: Wash, don't be a baby. Besides, we've done crazier shit when we HAVE a plan.

Cal pushes the Sarcophagus on a lift connected to the window-washer unit. Wash watches the door as sparks fly off the seams, indicating the Insurrection was cutting through.

Washington: (facing the door) Better hurry!

Carolina: Maine, it should work fine. You're the only one heavy enough to counterbalance.

Maine: Too high.

Carolina: (sighs) Cal?

Cal kicks Maine out the window and shoots the wire holding up the window-washer platform. Maine free-falls down the building, past two Insurrection Soldiers.
