CORTANA:
You have no idea how this ring works, do you? Why the forerunners built it? Halo doesn't kill flood, it kills their food. Humans, covenant, whatever. We're all equally edible. The only way to stop the flood is to starve them to death. And that's exactly what Halo is designed to do; wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life. You don't believe me? Ask him.
(Master Chief turns to 343 Guilty Spark)
MASTER CHIEF:
Is this true?
343 GUILTY SPARK:
(pauses) More or less. Technically, this installation's pulse has a maximum effective radius of twenty-five thousand light years. But, once the others follow suit, this galaxy will be quite devoid of life, or at least any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the flood. (pause) But you already knew that. I mean, how couldn't you?
CORTANA:
Left out that little detail, did he?
343 GUILTY SPARK:
We have followed outbreak containment procedure to the letter. You were with me each step of the way, as we managed this crisis.
CORTANA:
Chief, I'm picking up movement!
343 GUILTY SPARK:
Why would you hesitate to do what you have already done?
CORTANA:
We need to go, right now.
(Sentinels float up behind 343 Guilty Spark)
343 GUILTY SPARK:
Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed.
(Master Chief takes Cortana's disk out of the console, and inserts it into his head.)
343 GUILTY SPARK:
There is no choice. We must activate the ring.
