Episode 203

ARBITER
I bring you blessings, people of Reach. / Know that I have come without mercy. Without pity. / Know that I am the instrument of your extinction. / I bring this planet forth as burnt offering. / Upon this altar, I place the head of the Demon. / May this blood mark the way to the Sacred Ring and consecrate the Great Journey of my people. / Know that I am Var 'Gatanai. / Know that I am Death.

JACKAL
Stop. It's a trap.
TRANSLATION
COVENANT ELITE
Use your blades.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
Stop. Not yet.
TRANSLATION
GROUP
These humans are just in the way. Push forward. Move aside, pest.
GROUP
Keep moving to the target.
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Soon they will all be eliminated.
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Don't waste your energy on the weak. Follow me. Our target is close.
GROUP
Open fire! More humans are on their way. Don't hesitate. Kill them all.
GROUP
Their death will be our salvation.
GROUP
Rain fire down on them!
GROUP
Whether we live or die, our legacy will be the great fall of this planet.
GROUP
Take out that tank!
TRANSLATION
GROUP
They're weak. Get them.
TRANSLATION
GROUP
They're up there! Shoot through the roof.
GROUP
The Great Journey is just beginning!
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Soon this planet will be nothing but ash. Push forward.
GROUP
Any who deny us will be met with no mercy.
GROUP
Push forward. This is our victory.
GROUP
Don't let any of them live!
GROUP
I've got another one!
TRANSLATION
GROUP
The Arbiter joins us. Our victory is assured. Kill them all.
GROUP
Another human meets its end.

What's that smell?
TRANSLATION

Surround the target.
TRANSLATION
GROUP
What is he doing?
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Ready pistols!
TRANSLATION
GROUP
Let's rip this guy apart.
TRANSLATION
GROUP
What a small, pathetic creature.

Episode 205

MAKEE
You honor our people with this great victory.
ARBITER
This was no victory. We have only secured one of the stolen Keystones and, once again, the Blessed One has denied me--
MAKEE
There is a time and place for every step in the Great Journey.
ARBITER
I grow weary of your gift! This prophecy! My shame endures because you keep me from taking his head. The Demon's death is to be my redemption. And you protect him--
MAKEE
I have no concern for the Demon. I serve a higher purpose. As do you.
ARBITER
Do not preach at me, human. I remind you that you live only by my grace.
MAKEE
If my life offends you, I beg you to take it. I did not ask to be the Blessed One. The Hierarchs anointed me. Do you think they are mistaken?
ARBITER
You will not tempt me into blasphemy, human.
MAKEE
Forgive me.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
What is the value of this human thing?
MAKEE
It is a vessel.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
What does it contain?
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
Knowledge. Human knowledge.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
Can it say where they have taken the Keystone?
MAKEE
Perhaps. I will not know until I look inside.
ARBITER
So look.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
It’s not a gift.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
My prophecy. I do not choose it.
ARBITER
You foretell the end of your kind.
MAKEE
It is written.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
Show me what you remember of the Ring.
CORTANA
I don't belong to you.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
If you cease to be useful to me, I will cease to be useful to the Hierarchs. You and I both know what happens to an unuseful thing.
MAKEE
You think you have a choice. In the end, it won't matter. I have seen the prophecy. I am the one to stand upon the Sacred Ring. I am the one to begin the Great Journey.
MAKEE
There are all kinds of prisons.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
Why is that open? You know I am not worthy of light.
MAKEE
What have you done? Why are we here?
ARBITER
Our fleet has been recalled.
MAKEE
No. We have a mission, to retrieve the--
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
We failed the mission. Accept that.
MAKEE
No, I do not. I cannot go back--
ARBITER
We are here. High Charity.
MAKEE
Do you know what they will do to us? To me?
ARBITER
I can only hope that they will accept this token as an offering, to mitigate my punishment.
MAKEE
Do not do this.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
The Hierarchs command it.
MAKEE
The Hierarchs are liars.
ARBITER
Blaspheme again, and I will rip the breath from your body.
MAKEE
The Prophets are false. They have no intention of beginning the Great Journey. It is not in their power to do so. They are not Chosen.
MAKEE
And they know it. I have seen the prophecy. The prophecy is yours! It is your destiny I have seen.
MAKEE
You will be the one to lead us to the Sacred Ring. And we will be the ones to begin the Great Journey.
ARBITER
Your flattery is as cruel as it is empty.
MAKEE
Believe. Believe me. You are Var 'Gatanai. You are not some worm. These Prophets that would shame you do so because they fear you. They see your greatness and the purity of your faith. And it makes them choke on their hypocrisy.
ARBITER
How are you doing this?
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
This is not my doing. This is yours. This is your destiny. You need only take it.
ARBITER
What must I do?
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
Believe. You must believe. In me. I am the Blessed One.
ARBITER
They will send the entire fleet to hunt us down.
MAKEE
And they will fail.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
It is written.
TRANSLATION

Episode 206

SANGHEILI GUARD
Kaidon. Your presence is required on the bridge.
UTO 'MDAMA
There seems to be a problem with our communications. I have been unable to contact High Charity or the Fleet. When do you expect this malfunction to be resolved?
ARBITER
It is not a malfunction. It is my command.
UTO 'MDAMA
Oh? And why does ARBITER command our silence?
ARBITER
Because our mission demands it, priest.
UTO 'MDAMA
Where are we going? Perhaps you do not know. Perhaps you should consult your pet.
ARBITER
You dare insult me? My direction comes from the Hierarchs themselves.
UTO 'MDAMA
As does your shame. Some say you no longer put your faith in the Prophets.
UTO 'MDAMA
That ARBITER has become lost, and looks to this human for guidance.
ARBITER
The human means nothing to me.
TRANSLATION
UTO 'MDAMA
I would gladly put these baseless insinuations to rest with the stroke of my sword.
ARBITER
I appreciate your gesture. But she is not mine to kill. Nor is she yours. She belongs to the Hierarchs.
UTO 'MDAMA
Then I will ask their permission, when I return to High Charity. Which will be...
ARBITER
Soon.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
The priest is a cunning inquisitor. These questions will not stop.
ARBITER
You have communed with the Keystone?
MAKEE
Of course. I am the Blessed One.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
What is the meaning of this?
TRANSLATION
UTO 'MDAMA
Your pet professes ignorance. It is an insult to you.
ARBITER
Silence, priest.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
A transmission went out from the ship, not long ago.
MAKEE
I know nothing of this.
TRANSLATION
UTO 'MDAMA
Perhaps you know something of this?
TRANSLATION
UTO 'MDAMA
The transmission came from this human device. And we tracked it toward the human planets.
MAKEE
I know not how...
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
See my heart. It would never betray you.
UTO 'MDAMA
Do what must be done. It has no honor. It requires no ceremony. You carry enough shame as it is.
ARBITER
Those of you who are true believers, you will stand with me. The rest of you will die.

Episode 207

UTO 'MDAMA
What treachery is this?
TRANSLATION
CORTANA
I could ask you the same thing, Uto 'Mdama.
UTO 'MDAMA
You know me?
TRANSLATION
CORTANA
I know many things, priest.
UTO 'MDAMA
Where is the human?
TRANSLATION
CORTANA
I am afraid you will have to be more specific.
UTO 'MDAMA
The "Blessed One".
TRANSLATION
CORTANA
Oh. Yes. Behind you.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
I bless you.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
It is done. The infidels are dead.
MAKEE
You stood for me. You would have died for me.
ARBITER
I would have died for the truth you carry.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
The Fleet has found us.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
Will we be destroyed?
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
No. Because you have not seen it.
MAKEE
I am fallen. I do not know how to make myself worthy of your faith.
ARBITER
You already have. You have shown me my redemption.
MAKEE
And you have shown me mine.
ARBITER
What have you foreseen?
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
I am bound to you.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
We are bound to the Ring.
CORTANA
That's not very nice.
TRANSLATION
MAKEE
The sight has left me...
TRANSLATION

Episode 208

ARBITER
What is it?
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
The Demon...
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
It is as you foretold. He met his death upon the Ring. I honor him.
ARBITER
Wait.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
The prophecy is incomplete.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
Come meet your destiny, Demon.
ARBITER
Why do you not accept your death?
ARBITER
Kill me, Demon. End my shame.
MAKEE
This is not the death you deserve.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
I failed you. I failed the prophecy.
MAKEE
There is no prophecy. Only believers.
ARBITER
Take my life. Restore my honor. Tell him.
MAKEE
No. I won't...
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
You must.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
Take my life. Restore my honor.
ARBITER
Redemption awaits.
TRANSLATION
ARBITER
I am broken. What kind of soldier am I now?
