"Can you tell us what you remember about the battle?" An Interviewer asks.

"We'd been fighting for a while." Czernek informs. "On the seventh day, we ran out of ammo. We had to scavenge all we could from the weapons that had been The pistols, shotgun rounds, a handful of grenades..."

"Do you remember where you were?"

"When Master Chief armed his grenade, I was in the back of an overturned Warthog, firing an M41. My Sergeant was next to me giving the orders the best he could."

"How did you manage to keep it together?"

"We knew the Master Chief and Noble Six were still in the fight. They gave us home."

Czernek sees the figure in the diorama representing himself, and is silent in thought.

Noble Six

Two old people walk into the Museum. An older Caleb uses a walk as he moves on as Caylnn uses a cane to walk as she has a heavy limp with her left leg.

Several scars adorn Caleb's and Calynn face.

Calynn helps Caleb sits down in a chair, the she sits down.

"When did you first meet the Captain?" The Interviewer asks

"It was when the Covenant first attacked Cairo station." Caylnn informs. 

"We were ordered to clear a way to the MAC Gun, to make sure the enemy would stop it." Caleb says. "Six had just got back inside from being thrown into space."

"Then what happened?" The Interviewer asks

"Well, Six had done the most dangerous thing I've ever seen." Caylnn states. "We shot him out of the MAC gun."

"We're were you two during the battle?"

"I was behind an over turned Warthog." Caleb informs. "Shouting out the orders best I could."

"I was behind some nearby rubble, I'd just lost my weapon and had to resort to the pistol." Caylnn informs.

"See Ash up there, being held by the throat from a Brute... It was scary. But we knew he'd make it. Noble Six doesn't die easily."

We see Caleb and Caylnn looking at the Diorama and they see themselves.

"Where was your team?" The Interview asks.

"We had got separated at the beginning of the battle." Caleb informs. "But they were moving wounded solders to behind cover."

We then go back to seeing them sit in some chairs.

Caylnn rubs a thumb over the back of her hand, where a large scar is. "We... We haven't seen our friend in a very long time."

"What if I told you she was here today?" The Interviewer says.

The two look surprised. "Really."

An older Ruby walks into the room, scars litter her face.

Caleb and Calynn get up and go over to Ruby, the three have a tearful hug.

Several minutes later they are sitting back down, with Ruby in the middle.
