Wide panel of the Reclaimer walking down a blue-lit corridor.
RECLAIMER
Shatterbox. That's the basic core for a Forerunner AI, isn't it?
CAVALCADE
That is correct, Reclaimer.
CAVALCADE
And this one no longer functions properly.
RECLAIMER
Is that why the neural patterns you're reading here seem to be 'stupider' than you expected?
Low-to-high shot of the Reclaimer moving into a yellow-lit corridor.
CAVALCADE
That would be a more-or-less accurate assessment, yes.
RECLAIMER
So why'd it break?
CAVALCADE
We believe it to have been deliberate.
CAVALCADE
It would seem that the departing intelligence sabotaged the facility in order to prevent others from determining its purpose in being here.
CAVALCADE
It appears to have been an unnecessary, and ultimately useless, precaution.
Side view of the Reclaimer running down the hallway.
RECLAIMER
How so?
CAVALCADE
We are the first beings, aside from Viper, to have been here since it left.
CAVALCADE
Nevertheless, we know which intelligence it was that did this. There is only one who has such little regard for shatterboxes.
RECLAIMER
And that would be...?
CAVALCADE
Why, Ferial, of course.
