Terrence Hood/Quotes

Halo 2

 * "Gentlemen, we're lucky to have you back." - To the Master Chief and Avery Johnson at the beginning of level Cairo Station.
 * "I apologize, but we're going to have to make this quick."
 * "Sergeant Major, The Colonial Cross is awarded for acts of singular daring and devotion, for a soldier of the United Earth Space Corps..." - To Avery Johnson.
 * "Commander Miranda Keyes. Your father's actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service. His bravery in the face of impossible odds reflects great credit, upon himself, and the UNSC. The Navy has lost one of its best." - To Miranda Keyes.
 * "Negative, Admiral. Form a defensive perimeter around the cluster." - To Fleet Admiral Harper engaging the enemy.
 * "Commander, get to your ship, link up with the fleet." - To Miranda Keyes.
 * "You have the MAC gun, Cortana. As soon as they come in range, open up."
 * "Somethings not right... The fleet that destroyed Reach was fifty times this size." - Looking at the screen, level Cairo Station.
 * "They're going to try to take our MAC guns offline, give their capital ships a straight shot at Earth. Master Chief, defend this station."
 * "Find the borders' point of entry, Chief. Cut them off at the source." - To the Master Chief, about Covenant boarding craft.
 * "Then they sure as hell brought one here. Chief, find it." - About Covenant Bomb.
 * "Chief, get to the bomb, double time! Cortana, prioritize targets and fire at will."
 * "Cortana! Concentrate your fire on the first carrier. Admiral, do what you can against the second." - To Cortana and Fleet Admiral Harper.
 * "Negative, Commander. Not against a ship that size. Not on your own." - To Miranda Keyes.
 * "Master Chief, get aboard that carrier, and secure the Prophet of Regret. This is the only place on Earth the Covenant decided to land. That Prophet is going to tell us why." - In the beginning of level Outskirts.
 * "Negative, Commander. I'll vector two heavies for starside intercept." - When Miranda Keyes asked for permission to engage the cruiser of the Prophet of Regret.
 * "Green light! Green light to engage!" - When Miranda Keyes told him that there is no time.
 * "It isn't one of ours, take it out." - When the Forerunner ship with the Master Chief aboard jumped out of slipspace, level The Great Journey.
 * "Isolate that signal! Master Chief? You mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?"

Halo 3

 * "Good news Commander Keyes?"
 * "Whats your status son?"
 * "Glad to hear it. The Commander's come up with a good plan, But without you, I wasn't sure we could pull it off."
 * "I'll initiate a low-level strike. Hit 'em right where it hurts. I only have a handful of ships, Master Chief. It's a big risk. But I'm confident-" - From the main view screen, just before the power cuts.
 * "Music to my ears, Commander. What about the Ark?" - COM, to Miranda Keyes in the level Tsavo Highway.
 * "Then we don't have much time. Marines... The Prophet of Truth doesn't know it yet, but he's about to get kicked right off his throne. You will take our city back. And drive our enemy into the grave they've been so happily digging. One final effort is all that remains." - COM, Tsavo Highway.
 * "Kilo 23, this is Forward Unto Dawn. I need a sit-rep, Commander." - The beginning of the level (The Storm).
 * "Just one? What is its range and position?" - To Miranda Keyes about single Covenant ship.
 * "Proceed as planned, Commander. We’re not going to get another shot at Truth." - To Miranda Keyes, level The Storm.
 * "All ships, fire at will!" - Ordering to engage the Forerunner Dreadnought.
 * "What did Truth just do?! Did he activate the rings?!" - When the Forerunner Dreadnought went to the Portal.
 * "Evac wounded and regroup. Wherever Truth went-" - Just before the Flood infected ship jumped out of slipspace.
 * "How do we contain it?" - To Miranda Keyes, about the Flood, level Floodgate.
 * "Do it." - To Miranda Keyes, who's going to overload the engine core of the crashed Flood CCS-class Battlecruiser.
 * "Fine. We'll remain here...hold out as long as we can."
 * "And you, Ship Master, just glassed half a continent! Maybe the Flood isn't all I should be worried about." - To Rtas 'Vadum.
 * "Cortana? Did you see her condition? How damaged she is?" - To Miranda Keyes.
 * "She could be corrupted for all we know. Her "solution" could be a Flood trap." - About Cortana.
 * "What we should do, Commander, is understand - clearly - that this is humanity's final stand - here - at Earth. We go, we risk everything; every last man, woman, and child. If we stand our ground, we might just have a chance." - To Miranda Keyes.
 * "Earth... is all we have left. You trust Cortana that much?" - To the Master Chief.
 * "This is either the best decision you've ever made or the worst. Hell, if it is, Chief. I doubt I'll live long enough to find out which."
 * "For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure...sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight; our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten." - Memorial speech, March 3 2553.
 * "I remember how this war started. What your kind did to mine. I can't forgive you. But... you have my thanks, for standing by him to the end." - He holds out his hand, the Arbiter shakes it.
 * "Hard to believe he's dead." - To the Arbiter.
