00:02:41,953 --> 00:02:45,Chief, can you hear me?

00:02:46,165 --> 00:02:49,When I was born,
seven years ago...

00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:53,I already possessed the entire
sum of recorded human knowledge.

00:02:53,923 --> 00:02:59,It took me almost two hours to process
and understand all that information.

00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:09,But I can't be sure which memories
are mine or even what's true...

00:03:10,148 --> 00:03:11,what's real.

00:03:11,941 --> 00:03:16,I've discovered a great deal
more information since then.

00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:20,For an AI, I've lived
a very long time.

00:03:21,409 --> 00:03:24,But now, after seven
human years...

00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:27,I have finally come to
understand your role...

00:03:27,957 --> 00:03:29,your place in the universe.

00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:32,And how you came to be here.

00:03:36,633 --> 00:03:38,The eons of human evolution...

00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:43,invention, aspiration and war.

00:03:43,806 --> 00:03:46,Always war.

00:03:46,225 --> 00:03:50,The oldest, most enduring
of human practices.

00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:56,A hundred thousand years ago...

00:03:57,111 --> 00:04:01,a great civilization
existed in this universe.

00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:05,Like all great civilizations...

00:04:05,787 --> 00:04:09,they faced a sudden and
dire turn of events.

00:04:13,002 --> 00:04:16,A threat to their
primacy from outside.

00:04:18,049 --> 00:04:20,Something they never expected...

00:04:20,677 --> 00:04:23,never prepared for.

00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:29,A deeply alien threat they
called simply the Flood.

00:04:29,477 --> 00:04:34,An unstoppable force,
an unquenchable thirst.

00:04:55,878 --> 00:04:59,It devoured everything
it touched.

00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:07,At first their technology, their
courage seemed like it might prevail.

00:05:13,438 --> 00:05:16,But they waited too long
to see the threat...

00:05:16,607 --> 00:05:18,to join the fight.

00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:24,The Flood had spread
too far and too wide.

00:05:42,884 --> 00:05:46,It fed on intelligent
life, and in doing so...

00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:49,became ever more
intelligent itself.

00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:51,The Flood was unique.

00:05:51,517 --> 00:05:54,It used their very
strength against them.

00:06:15,458 --> 00:06:19,They were the Forerunners.

00:06:23,674 --> 00:06:28,The Forerunners were a wise,
highly intelligent, noble people.

00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:31,And with a belief in
justice, in peace...

00:06:31,390 --> 00:06:33,they bravely faced
the adversary.

00:06:33,893 --> 00:06:36,They sought to sterilize it.

00:06:42,693 --> 00:06:45,I can only guess some of this...

00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:46,fill in the gaps.

00:08:10,489 --> 00:08:13,But it was an impossible fight.

00:08:13,534 --> 00:08:15,Realizing defeat
was inevitable...

00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:20,the Forerunners made a decision
to destroy everything.

00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:41,Ironically, they did this in
order to preserve life...

00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:45,to create a future for
you, yet unborn...

00:08:45,566 --> 00:08:49,knowing they themselves
would not survive.

00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:07,In a desperate attempt to ensure that
they would be the last victims...

00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:11,they built a secret weapon
of terrifying power.

00:09:24,438 --> 00:09:26,It was called Halo...

00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:31,an array of weapons scattered
throughout the galaxy.

00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:35,Its effect would spread throughout
known space, destroying the Flood...

00:09:36,033 --> 00:09:39,and every thinking
creature in the galaxy.

00:09:57,555 --> 00:10:02,You see, the Flood fed on
sentient species to survive.

00:10:02,935 --> 00:10:07,The device would destroy the
infection and its food supply.

00:10:08,858 --> 00:10:13,A thousand other plans
were tried, and failed.

00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,This was the last resort. Halo.

00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:47,And finally, it was
over in an instant.

00:10:49,732 --> 00:10:55,Every intelligent life form left
in the galaxy was obliterated.

00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:02,But from the ashes of
apparent defeat...

00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:04,a victory.

00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:08,The Forerunners had cataloged,
stored and protected...

00:11:08,334 --> 00:11:11,population samples
from the Halo event.

00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:16,DNA, embryos, even
living specimens.

00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:22,In order to repopulate,
restore the galaxy.

00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:34,Once the galaxy was cleansed of
Flood, the threat sterilized...

00:11:34,693 --> 00:11:37,they repopulated worlds...

00:11:38,864 --> 00:11:41,rebuilt that which
they had torn down...

00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:44,and reseeded life.

00:12:05,641 --> 00:12:09,But the Forerunners
themselves were gone forever.

00:12:12,231 --> 00:12:17,This destruction, this conflagration
was their gift to you...

00:12:17,653 --> 00:12:20,and their sacrifice.

00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:25,They left you to
reclaim your world...

00:12:25,744 --> 00:12:28,to rebuild it with
your own hands...

00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:34,by sacrificing themselves...

00:12:35,254 --> 00:12:37,eternally.

00:12:37,965 --> 00:12:42,It seemed that life had
finally found its peace.

00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:04,Peace
settled on the galaxy.

00:13:04,408 --> 00:13:07,But it would be a
fleeting peace.

00:13:08,370 --> 00:13:11,For the great sacrifice
was in vain.

00:13:12,666 --> 00:13:16,The end of one war did not
signal an end to all wars.

00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:21,It is a great irony that
the nature of war...

00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:26,always reveals the true
nature of those who fight.

00:13:27,890 --> 00:13:31,And from their earliest days,
humanity began to fight...

00:13:32,019 --> 00:13:34,war after war.

00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:40,It swarmed over the earth and
there was no ending in sight.

00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:45,In the midst of the
desire to shed blood...

00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:49,you accidentally stumbled upon
the seeds of your salvation.

00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:57,A great hope.

00:13:58,754 --> 00:14:02,But you found something
else, as well.

00:14:04,593 --> 00:14:07,The seeds of your destruction.

00:14:16,397 --> 00:14:19,There were many sacrifices.

00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:24,Humankind was mired in
horrific conflict...

00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:26,meaningless bloodshed...

00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:30,leaving the great Earth
eternally scarred.

00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:37,But finally...

00:14:37,751 --> 00:14:42,you looked up from the blood and
from the dirt and from the dying...

00:14:42,673 --> 00:14:44,to the stars.

00:14:47,970 --> 00:14:52,You had not given up on the idea
of reaching out, yearning...

00:14:52,933 --> 00:14:55,seeking a new horizon...

00:14:58,063 --> 00:15:02,and finding a new space
to grow and prosper.

00:15:03,527 --> 00:15:08,For the first time, all of humankind
was united in a shared vision...

00:15:08,699 --> 00:15:11,a common goal.

00:15:12,369 --> 00:15:17,You realized that this once great
planet was now too small for you.

00:15:17,499 --> 00:15:19,There were too many souls...

00:15:20,044 --> 00:15:22,and so little a world.

00:15:23,505 --> 00:15:26,So you sought other worlds.

00:15:27,718 --> 00:15:32,Worlds where you could escape
your addiction to destruction.

00:16:05,005 --> 00:16:08,But the worlds you found
were never enough.

00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:13,Never enough to satisfy
the age-old instincts.

00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:18,Speed and distance did nothing to
separate you from your nature.

00:16:21,522 --> 00:16:25,Old resentments, ancient
squabbles reemerged.

00:16:25,859 --> 00:16:29,History began its
terrible repetition...

00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:33,and once again, man fought man.

00:16:38,122 --> 00:16:42,Like a virus, war was
always lurking inside you.

00:16:42,626 --> 00:16:45,No matter how hard you
tried to suppress it...

00:16:45,462 --> 00:16:48,it just fought
harder to get out.

00:16:49,299 --> 00:16:52,It always g***t out.

00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:09,Humankind had always looked to the
stars, to the heavens for answers.

00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:13,Sometimes you didn't like
what you found there.

00:17:13,699 --> 00:17:16,And while the galaxy
revealed few answers...

00:17:17,077 --> 00:17:21,it was more than willing to
confront you with new questions.

00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:30,But there has always been one truly
unifying force in human history...

00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:34,one call that would
always unite you:

00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:37,The emergence...
