Various scenes of humanity.

The Didect: In this hour of victory, we only taste defeat. I ask why. We are Forerunners, Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there it life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun towards which all inteligence blossoms... And the impervious shelter beneath which it has prospered.

Master Chief enters.

The Didect: I stand before you. Accused of the sin of ensuring Forerunner ascendancy... Of attempting to save us from this fate where we are forced to... recede...

A big test facility is shown.

The Didect: Humanity stands as the greatest threat in the galaxy. Refusing to eradicate them is a fool's gambit. We squander eons in the darkness... while they seize our triumphs for their own. The Mantle of Responsibility for all things belongs to Forerunners alone!

Master Chief prepares for his suit to be taken of.

The Didect: Think of my acts as you will. But do not doubt the reality. The reclamation... has already begun.

The helmet is lifted off as the screen goes to black.

The Didect: And we are hopeless to stop it.
