HOW MAY I BE OF SERVICE?
Dr. Endesha: Virgil, can you access the traffic cameras? I need you to locate and mark all Covenant activity in the city and then upload it to NMPD, the military and to UNSC.

Dr. Endesha: Great Virgil. Divert the fleeing masses from the enemy. Shut the riot doors if necessary and use all public address systems to guide the people away and out of the city.
WORKING…
Dr. Endesha: And Virgil?
…
Dr. Endesha: Keep an eye on Sadie.
Dr. Endesha: Send a transmission to UNSC that we will assist them with Intel on Covenant activity. Give me the analysis of the findings under New Mombasa on screen three.
Dr. Endesha: [Examines the report, puzzled and frustrated] This can't be right. Virgil, attach this report to the transmission. Advice them to act against Covenant forces in this area before the discovery fall into enemy hands.

KEEP IT CLEAN…
Security Officer: [Intercom] Doctor, the Covenant has penetrated the outer perimeter. You need to prepare for immediate evac… [Screams to nearby units] Set off those charges! [Explosion] Check those corners! [To Dr. Endesha] We're pulling you out, Doctor.
Dr. Endesha: With all due respect, I can't leave now.
Security Officer: Doctor, we're being overrun. It's leaving… or dying.
Dr. Endesha: I found something… under the ground. I think it's important that we inform the military of this finding.
Security Officer: Hey, I don't care if you've found a really big rock, or some really cool mud. My job is to get my men out of here… And I can't do that until you come with us.
Dr. Endesha: We don't know what it is yet. We need to get this to Naval Intelligence. It's not up to us to decide whether it's important or not.
Security Officer: I don't give a damn. You'll come with us, whether you want to or not. And this is nothing you can decide to abide or discard. It has been decided for you, by the top brass.
Dr. Endesha: Look, you moron. I think I found what the Covenant are looking for. It is vital that the headquarters get this information. Second, you can access the Superintendant's core units from here. We are by protocol responsible to secure it or deny it from enemy capture. [After a moment of silence] Look, we're only losing time arguing here. You know it, I know it. This is the right thing do. We need to stay here, and protect this facility. [Screen flashing, warning of advancing enemy group] Sergeant, rig topside floor with C12, and get down here. I might have a way out of this...
Dr. Endesha: [To Virgil] Get Sadie as far as possible away from here.
