The Reclaimer exiting a Todash Portal.
TRAN
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your AI speaking.
TRAN
We're currently experiencing some unexpected turbulence...
TRAN
...but we will be landing in a few moments.
The Todash Portal collapsing behind the Reclaimer.
TRAN
Local time is... daylight, and the temperature is a balmy -12 degrees Celcius.
TRAN
Please watch your step, and thanks for flying the negative space.
The Reclaimer standing before a solid wall.
RECLAIMER
Are you quite done, Tran?
TRAN
{ahem}
TRAN
I'm sorry, sir. Yes, sir. Quite done.
TRAN
But admit it -- you were amused.
The Reclaimer on the move.
RECLAIMER
Back on task, Tran.
TRAN
Affirmative. Actually, I want you to hear this.
Recording
Sherif blahn et on fargual pilego shaoneo.
RECLAIMER
Very pretty. What is it?
The Reclaimer standing with a waterfall as the backdrop.
TRAN
It's a snippet of the communications I picked up right before we left the tether.
RECLAIMER
Can you translate it?
TRAN
I'm sorry, sir. I've run it through every linguistic program I know. Whatever it is doesn't decipher.
The Reclaimer walking through a corridor.
RECLAIMER
Some encryption we're not aware of yet?
TRAN
I don't think so, sir. There's a pattern there. I just can't pin it down.
TRAN
What's most troublesome to me is that human, Covenant, and Flood alike are all speaking it.
