Growing fed up with her inability to find anything, Master Chief touches the relic again, receiving another flashback. While the UNSC camp recovers and continues its preparations, Master Chief asks Cortana for information on the origins of the Spartan program. As this is happening, over on Madrigal, where Makee and the Covenant forces found the smaller relic earlier in the episode, Makee picks up the signal, realizing where the second artifact is located and setting the stage for the carnage to come in the final act. It's oddly interesting scene, selling the idea Kai finds herself enthralled in her newfound senses more and more at the cost of alienating her from her comrades.Īs the UNSC finally begins the process of extracting the relic, Halsey's assistant Adun touches the relic and an ear-splitting signal activates, causing everyone in the camp to double over in pain except for Master Chief. Vannak's increasingly brief responses betray irritation underneath his steely resolve, as he finally snaps, claiming the gun grease in Kai's hair must be damaging her brain. While it's completely understandable that Soren's patience has by this point worn thin, not being able to keep an eye on Kwan in such a harsh environment doesn't seem like the smartest idea, but more on that later.Īs Silver Team hangs back on Eridanus-2 and allows the various UNSC forces to proceed, Kai and Vannak have an amusingly lopsided conversation, with the former pressing the latter for his thoughts on what the Covenant are really after and why they want to attack humanity. Finally fed up, Soren chains Kwan to the bike, marching off into the unknown to find a new ride.

On Madrigal, Kwan and Soren's bike fails in the middle of the desert, still a hundred miles away from the nearest transport.
