[Engineer] Okay First I’d like to thank the UNSC
for rejecting my proposal. This time, rather than show you schematics
I thought I’ll show you the real thing. Project Magnes. The conductive transfer of
unequal mass and high-tensile fiber. Or, as one of you called it a rope. Test 1.0 [SFX] Test 4.0 [SFX] Technically this part is supposed
to go much further. Technically. [Daughter, off camera]: Hi Mom. [Engineer, off camera]: Hi [Daughter]: How are you? [Engineer]: Um, I’m fine. I’m fine.
And you? [Daughter]: Yeah. I’m really good,
thanks. [Engineer]: Conductive transfer,
test 17. [Daughter]: I’ve got a new riddle for you mum. [Engineer]: Ah, go for it. [Daughter]: Alright, so you have 50 freighters.
Each freighter has enough fuel to travel 100 parsecs. Using all 50 freighters,
what is the maximum distance you can travel? [Engineer]: What class are the freighters? [Daughter]: Mum, it doesn’t matter.
I don’t know. [Engineer]: It might matter. [Engineer]: Test 44 [Engineer, off camera]: 350 parsecs.
[Daughter]: Correct. [Engineer]: Fly them 50 parsecs, drain half the fuel.
[Daughter]: Into the other half. Fly rinse repeat. I know. [Engineer]: Honestly, honey, nothing. [Daughter]: Nothing in the current fleet
would ever fly that far. I know. [News VO, off-camera]: A harrowing report
from the Outer Colonies this evening. Covenant war ships have glassed Arcadia.
Stay with us for continuing updates. [Engineer]: Test 63 [Engineer]: Test 70 [Engineer]: Test 72? [SFX] [Daughter]: Mum, just talk to me. [Engineer]: Test 78? 78. [Daughter]: I know it may not seem it but
you are getting there. You are. [SFX] [Engineer, off-camera]: I miss you so much. [Engineer]: It worked. [Daughter, off-camera]: I miss you too. I can’t wait to see you and all of what you’ve done.
This feels like the marketing for Halo 3 and I'm all for it.
The year is 2549 and the Concept 2 rowing machine is still in use.
I do like the videos and sound bites they put together prior to a Halo launch.
I like how they add a big backstory to some feature in the game you barely think about, it makes the halo universe feel so big
