Defiant Team – Halo Reach Machinima – Episode Eight
Escape
September 11 2542
The camera opens up on Highlands in the motor pool with a group of Spartans standing inline
*note either we’ll need a lot of fiends to help with personalized Spartan armor or we’ll film local with first level unlocks, obviously the first would be preferred
The camera looks at Billy and Andriarno who are standing together within the group
Billy – so you know why we’ve been called here?
Andriarno – nope, probably some bullshit like “try to win harder” or something
Billy – you mean try harder, to win?
The camera looks up and shows Colonel Ackers, and some ODST walk across the second layer
Andriarno – who’s that?
The camera looks at Colonel Ackers
Billy – that’s Colonel Eric Ackers,
Andriarno – not him, her
The camera turns slightly and looks at Yuna (without helmet add on)
Billy – I dunno,
Ackers – welcome Spartans, you have been summoned here for the final year of your tests, and you will all soon be joining the fight for all humanity. You should all be very proud of yourselves. That is all
Ackers walks away from the platform and the Spartans begin talking to one another
The camera looks down on Josh, who is looking up at the platform where Yuna is standing.
The camera then looks up and shows Yuna giving a quick glance to Josh and then walking the same way as Colonel Ackers with the other ODST’s
The camera then goes over to Duckegg whose standing on the other side of the room
He turns and waits to walk out the room as its blocked by Spartans
Spartan Geoff – we’ve got Capture the Flag again right?
Spartan Joel – yeah, then we’re free till tomorrow
Duckegg – hopefully not
Spartan Geoff – huh?
Duckegg – oh nothing, ‘scuse me
Duckegg squeezes between Geoff and Joel
The camera watches Duckegg walk away
The camera then goes to billy and Andriarno who are walking away from the motor pool with the rest of the Spartans
Andriarno – im telling you, she looked like an angel
Billy – yes…
Andriarno – seriously, I swear I heard, like, music and my heart flipped
Billy – wait, how can she look like an angel if all you saw was her armor?
The camera looks at Andriarno’s visor
The camera flashes white and then cuts back to the shot of Yuna walking over the platform
SFX – cheesey romancey music plays
PPE – fireworks go off around the screen and hearts fly around
The camera goes back to Andriarno and billy who have now stopped walking
The other Spartans are walking past billy and Andriarno
Billy – Josh, Josh! Josh!!
Andriarno – I’ve got to meet her
Billy – oh wait, I have just the thing!
Andriarno – urm ok?
Billy steps closer to Andriarno
Billy – this is my guide to women, it’s a very special book, like the bible, only with periods
Andriarno – riiiight
Billy – if you skip to chapter 3 it has some pick up lines
SFX – pages turning
Andriarno – are you sure abo—
Andriarno – what the hell is the… “Sanghelli Cup”?
Billy – yes, look, “I find the most attractive part of a woman is the boobies”
Billy – “I think something is wrong with my auto aim, cause I can’t take my eyes off you”
Billy – “I would like to gain access to your base. Shall I enter from the front or the rear?”
Billy – “are we playing assault? Cause my visors telling me to pick the bomb up, that’s you”
Billy – ad lib some others to choose during editing
Andriarno – you know what, im gunna leave these and try my own way
Billy – you’re funeral
Andriarno and Billy start walking again
The camera fades to black and re-opens with Billy and another Spartan standing on a Grif Ball pitch
Spartan Ben – Run it again!
Billy runs up to the ball and picks it up, 3 other Spartans run towards him
1 of the opposing Spartans runs directly at billy, who manages to jump out the way and then hit him to the ground
The other 2 opposing Spartans form up together as billy starts running towards them
Billy keeps running at the two and then jumps up in the air punching one of them in the head and then dropping on the other side of the last Spartan
He then runs to the goal and scores the point
Spartan Ben walks past the 3 opposing Spartans, who are now just getting back up, and stops beside Gideon
Ben – Gideon, you are truly gifted at Grif Ball, you’ve got the heart of a Grif
Billy – thank you coach
Ben – I’m going to be sad to see you leave after our last game next week; I’ll be loosing my star player
Billy – oh, who’s that?
Ben – you, you old knucklehead, you’re my star player
Billy – YAY ME!
Ben stands closer to Gideon
The camera pulls away and shows the other 3 Spartan’s now walking away,
Spartan 2 – I think he broke my arm
Spartan 1 – he did break my arm!
Spartan 3 – at least you can all still see!
Spartan 3 walks to the edge of the camera shot and then falls backwards (another player punches him off screen)
Spartan 3 – ow
The camera fades out to black and then re-opens up on Highlands again inside Blue base
Andriarno and Billy and Duckegg stand in blue base
Billy – so yeah, I really want to meet my family once im done being a Spartan and all
Duckegg – what if you could meet them before the end of the year?
Andriarno – what?
Duckegg – I’m planning a last ditch escape attempt with some other Spartans, you in? I could use a man with your skills
Duckegg turns to Andriarno
Billy – my skills are on the Grifball court though
Andriarno – hang on Gideon,
Andriarno turns to Duckegg
Andriarno – don’t you think we’ve tried that before? Its impossible to get away anyway
Andriarno turns to Gideon
Andriarno – c’mon
Andriarno and Gideon turn and start walking away from duckegg
Duckegg – I’ve already got the escape sorted; just need a way of getting to it
Andriarno stops walking the camera looks to the side of Josh’s visor and shows Duckegg in the background
Andriarno looks down at the floor
The camera shows a UNSC frigate going through space, (clip from Pillar of Autumn end cut scene)
The camera cuts away from blue base and to anchor nine with Maiden, Chris and an unnamed Spartan (who turns out to be Lord Marek) and some EOD troopers
Lord Marek – James, you are one of the most promising Spartan III’s, you even managed to complete your tests a year before any of the other Spartans in your class
Maiden – thank you sir
Lord Marek turns to Chris
Lord Marek – Sierra 232, are you happy to have him accompany you on this mission
Paz – sir, he’s like 12, you can’t be serious about this, cant I have Sierra 117 with me on this mission
Maiden – im 18 actually
Paz looks at maiden and then back at Lord Marek
Lord Marek – Chris, he’s as capable as any Spartan, that’s all I want to hear about this matter
Lord Marek turns away and leaves the room followed by the EOD troopers
Paz turns to Maiden again and then walks out the room
Paz – I don’t fucking believe this
Maiden follows out of the room
The game changes back to highlands inside the command building next to the waterfall with Josh, Yuna and colonel Ackers
Colonel is kept off screen or obstructed
Ackers – Josh, sierra 182, as part of you’re training you are to complete a number of practice missions. Our records indicate you are behind on the rest of the Spartans. Apparently during a failed escape attempt
Andriarno – urm, yes sir
Ackers – well, this is one of the overseers, her name is Yuna Burress, she will be part of you’re last simulation mission.
Andriarno turns and looks at Yuna and then back to Ackers
Andriarno – then what’s the mission sir?
The camera goes back inside the Grifball stadium
The dolly camera floats down the stadium round the outside at an angle
Announcer – hello and welcome to the Beta Group Grifball Division, today we have a massive game between The Delta Dominators and Epsilon Exterminators.
The camera cycles through a few shots of the Grifball stadium, fans and imported score board
Announcer – who ever wins out of these two teams will go top of the league with only 3 games to go, everyone is excited about The Delta Dominators star player, Gideon 341’s penultimate season in the Grifball league.
Announcer 2 – yes, I was talking to Gideon before this and he told me, “he really wants to win this time”
Announcer – right you are
The camera goes inside the changing room with 4 red Spartans and Spartan Ben
Ben – ok Delta Dominators
The camera shows the team looking up at the coach
Delta Dominators Team (red)
Gideon – 341 – standard armor
Josh – 182 – standard armor
Ronaldo – 337 – random armor
Coach Ben – standard armor
Ben – we all know how important the game is, the winner goes top of the league
Gideon – and we’ll win the game
Ben – yes, we’ve all got the hearts of true champions, lets just show them how true champions play
The team stands up
Alman01 stops and looks at Santiago
Alman01 then follows the team into the stadium
The camera goes back to the Grifball stadium where the delta dominators are walking out into the stadium
SFX – cheering from the audience
Announcer 2 – and here comes the delta dominators wearing their red kit
Announcer – yes, that’s right, however the epsilon exterminators have yet to show themselves. It could be a psychological ploy or perhaps there’s a problem behind the scenes.
The camera looks at Alman01 who looks up into the stands
The camera goes back into anchor nine with Paz and Maiden
Maiden – so what’s the mission?
Paz – it’s a grab and extract
Maiden – meaning…
Paz – we break into a covenant cruiser, take what we want and get back here
Maiden – wow, I’ve got to say, I’m really excited about my first mission.
Paz stops walking and looks at maiden, who turns and looks at paz
Maiden – what’s up
Paz – this is you’re FIRST mission?
Maiden – yeah, I’ve just graduated from training
Paz walks away from maiden
Maiden – hey, where you going?
Paz – im just going to update my last will and testament
Maiden – oh ok, I’ll be hear, you know, waiting and everything
The camera goes down to the Grifball stadium again
Announcer – oh, and here comes the exterminators
The camera shows the blue team arriving on the court
The 2 teams meet in the middle of the court face to face
Announcer – it seems that epsilon aren’t wasting any time in starting the game
Epsilon Exterminators
Geoff – 502 – same as motor pool part
Joel – 610 – same as motor pool part
Emily – 667 – random armor
Announcer 2 – the teams will now take their positions and we’ll wait for the ball spawn
The 2 teams set up on each side of the court
SFX – beep, beep, bop Grifball
The ball spawns and the teams run towards it
Gideon reaches the Grifball first and pulls back allowing the 2 blockers (Santiago
The opposing team rushes up to the 2 blockers
Gideon runs past Alman01 and passes the bomb to him
Alman01 runs down the edge of the court followed by Gideon
One of the opposing team stands in front of Alman01
Alman01 drops the bomb behind him and bashes the epsilon blocker while Gideon picks up the bomb and runs through
The 2 other blockers run towards Gideon however he plants the bomb and scores the point
Announcer – that was a spectacular play by Delta,
Camera shows a sporty instant replay thing showing the point
Announcer 2 – I think that’s Gideon’s 60th point of the season
Announcer – yes it is, this young man sure has an amazing talent for Grifball
The camera goes down with Delta
Alman01 – nice score Gideon,
Billy – thanks Alman01, I say we do the same thing again
Billy – yeah, but everyone expects us to score, we’re awesome
Alman01 – I think he’s talking about the play
Billy – oh, right, yeah just score again
Announcer – and here’s the second ball spawn
The camera shows the ball spawning and the epsilon team running towards it, it then turns and shows Delta just turning and realizing what’s going on
Then delta team runs up to the ball as well
The camera then changes to the cut scene from Long Night of Solace where the Saber is departing from Anchor Nine
Paz – deactivating grips, initializing thrusters on my mark… mark
SFX – engines whirring up
Game changes to the long night of solace showing a saber flying away from the savannah (renamed as Washington
Maiden – deactivating Grips, following your lead Sierra 232
Paz – affirmative
The camera shows the 2 sabers launching away from the Washington
