The UNSC's fall pillar exploded, destroying the installation of the 04. The cross section of the ring cuts each other, dividing the atmospheric structure into two halves. 343 Guilty Spark observes quietly from space.

343 Guilty Spark: "Very unacceptable."

Guilty Spark scanned the area and briefly revealed a covenant ship that remained in a distance. The long sword of John-117 is far from the wreckage. Show a schematic of the nearby coal mine.

Nowhere to go, Spark enters the atmosphere of Threshold.

In the mine, Unggoy is playing with one of the tanks. Nearby Kig-Yar defeated Unggoy with a contract carbine. When the injured Unggoy bleed, 343 Guilty Spark entered the room. His arrival was shocked and the Kig-Yar gun immediately surrounded the display.

343 Guilty Spark: "Greetings! I am 343 Guilty Spark, install monitor -"

Kig-Yar waved the energy bar and charged the building. Guilty Spark killed him with his directed energy beam.

343 Guilty Spark: "The rude creature!"

Another Kig-Yar launches a fully charged plasma pistol in the Guilty Spark, which is not very effective. He was also quickly killed by Spark. Kig-Yar behind Spark was charged with his plasma pistol, but a Sangheili officer suddenly fell beside him and cut Kig-Yar's hand with an energy sword. Then he kneels in front of Spark.

Sangheili: "I take your life as a compensation for this humiliation. God's Oracle should never be rude to such pests! I will put them all into the fog below, because of this embarrassment, and -"

343 Guilty Spark: "Oh, my. In the past 100,000 years, your people have become so dramatic. But please don't die any more. If the flood escapes the destruction of my installation, we will need all that we can assemble. Strength! I must speak to your commander immediately."

Sangheili leads Spark to Sesa'Refumee.

Sesa'Refumee: "A brilliant day! The prophets will be very happy that we have saved Oracle from human violations of the temple!"

343 Guilty Spark: "Why have you always called it a temple? My device is a weapon! We need it very, very bad."

Sesa'Refumee: "But Oracle... I don't understand. We are told that the ring is our salvation - the gateway to heaven."

343 Guilty Spark: "Who to tell? Who? Who told you this is a fool - or quite, very crazy. That device is a beautiful tool designed to destroy everything the flood might depend on."

Sesa'Refumee: "Everything...?"

343 Guilty Spark: "Oh, quite everything. If a flood spore survives the destruction of my ring, the agreement requires that all nearby living lives must be destroyed immediately. The flooding is unlikely to happen. But... I am wasting my time. Do you know all about it?"

'Refumee is clearly shocked by this revelation.

Sesa'Refumee: "Communication: Close all lines of the fleet! We won't inform the Prophet of our discovery until we hear everything Oracle says."

343 Guilty Spark: "I'm happy to share what I allow, but we don't have much time. The things released here will soon destroy everything you know."

Sesa'Refumee: "In this respect, Oracle...we have reached an agreement."

The gas well is hung in the upper atmosphere of Threshold. Above it, the broken world of the ring drifts aimlessly in space.

Cut into black.
