Attention!
As you have been briefed, our world is under attack.
It began here today, tomorrow it could be Fortune City. The next, Sera, Albion, do I need to continue?
SIR NO SIR!
The United Nations Exbor Command thanks you for volunteering your strength. Our mission is to keep the enemy away from borders.
Is this understood sir? 
- Sir, yes sir!
Excellent, now move out and go to your squad commanders.
God dammit Chief, I hope you know what  you're doing.
Marcus Fenix,
Nick Ramos, and the Hero of Oakvale,
Thank you for lending us your aid. We don't have much time for introductions. I'll have to skip straight to the chase
Our world is under attack
You mean your sector.
- We have reason to believe that it won't be contained here.
This new threat is not what we are accustomed to. They're like nothing we've ever encountered.
The most elite units of their various sectors have banded together to make a mark on our world. That is why we were responding in kind.
Um, I have a question.
You realize that there's more than three people on this planet. 
- These are not enemies who can be defeated with numbers. Mr. Ramos
You're also the only ones who responded. - You all have valuable skills that could prove useful and the events to come.
Marcus, I understand you are no stranger to planetary invasion. 
- We only just fought one off on Sera.
I guess the Gears of War (™) never stop turning. 
- We only know you as the hero of Oakville. You have no recorded name.
I go by many names. Call me what you wish.
You come from a sector where pistols were only just invented. I'm sure much of this is new to you.
I'll put my fascinations aside, for now.
All our information reads is at your command magic, something we know not to exist.
Knew not to exist.
Magic is no Fable (™).
You still haven't told us who you are, Tin man.
My name is John-117. I am the last of the Spartans, an experimental breed of super soldiers. This is Cortana.
She is our ally and intelligence.
 
- Now allow me to inform our new allies of who exactly we're dealing with.
Haven't even been here day and I've seen hundreds of people die
I'll take this over dodging lightning any day Fallon.
- It didn't have to be like this...
We could have come here peacefully
- And what?
Risk being taken prisoner?
Did the people we killed look like the sort that would do that?
Why are you not at your posts?
Sorry, sir, just..
Needed a few moments rest.
- You can rest when you're dead.
On your feet.
Is there a problem?
- No, sir
Then get to your post
I see you're keeping the soldiers in line.
-They're inexperienced, weak and pathetic.
Nonetheless, you shall have your army.
Keep up the good work. 
- There's something I need from you
Go on.
-  I promised you an army of soldiers. What we have is a gaggle of conscripts.
They need to be reminded of what's at stake.
- And what do you need from me?
Fear.
- Where are these people?
At the moment, they're occupying a neighboring sector.
No more than 10 miles from our location
 - And they're receiving reinforcements?
Nothing since their initial arrival.
- Something doesn't add up. 
- What do you mean?
How come they haven't spread out far enough to detect us?
This is an invasion right? 
- It's because they don't have the numbers
This is the first time we're meeting, the only reason being that I cannot defend this sector alone.
Assuming their world is similar, something must've forced them together.
- And the people of Exbor are dying because of it.
Just hearing about them pissed me off.
Well, if you want me to fight I'm gonna have to make some weapons.
- You make weapons yourself
How else do you expect a mechanic to survive a zombie outbreak?
Zombies?
- Yeah, everywhere. People of Fortune City took meds to stop themselves from turning... you can imagine how that one will play out
Fascinating. You requested tools, what do you need?
- Duct tape.
Um, anything else?
Lots of duct tape.
What's going on here then?
No idea, MacGrath called us in.
It seems some of you aren't taking this seriously enough. Did you know your commander was capable of something very special?
We have eyes on you...
At all times.
Now I thought Colonel Radec was very clear with his instructions.
No mercy...
No surrender.
And yet...
You let one of them go didn't you?
- I couldn't... he was so terrified.
Terrified. I don't really know what that's like, I'm gonna need you to show me.
Ah, there it is.
Look, I get it. It's hard to take another man's life, isn't it?
Hey
Calm down. I want to give you another chance
Your weakness is holding us back. I need you to contribute.
Can you do that?
- Yes!
- Good.
For the last time you can't touch my Lancer!
- It's a gun combined with a chainsaw. literally the coolest thing I've ever seen!
Here, it's a prototype for the compact version.
The chainsaw doesn't work.
- I didn't say it was a working prototype, but it shoots just fine.
Yeah, well where I'm from cutting's better than shooting!
Thank you!
- You're welcome.
Forgive me for asking but...
Are you an ethereal form?
- Not quite, I'm a synthetic intelligence program.
Program?
- it's a little ahead of your era.
- Still, you were able to show us images of our enemies.
Whatever our surveillance can gather.
Can you show me more?
And done! Let's go kill us some bad guys.
