Wind Power Facility
Present Day

Washington sees Carolina kneeling down by the water and walks towards her.

Washington: The facility is clear.

Carolina: Find anything?

Washington: Nothing we didn't already know.

Carolina: Figured as much. This place was a dead end.

Washington: Sorry, boss.

Carolina: The structure we're going to next, you're positive our target was there?

Washington: I know what I saw, that's why it's on our list.

Carolina: But I know what I saw, and it doesn't make any sense.

Washington: All the more reason to investigate.

Carolina: Alright then. Let's go. Let's go find C.T.

Longshore Shipyards (FOB)
Many years ago...

~ Jeff Williams - The Darkness of C.T. ~

A seagull lands on a submerged helmet before being sniped by the Resistance Sniper surrounded by Insurrectionist soldiers on the pier, and he celebrates his kill by pumping his arm.

Resistance Sniper: Nailed it! That's what we call a birdseye!

Wyoming surfaces and, along with the Blue Freelancer, spies on the Insurrectionists at the shipyard.

Malcom Hargrove: To the Director of Project Freelancer, Dr. Leonard Church. Dear Director, allow me to introduce myself. I am a representative of the newly formed UNSC Oversight Sub-Committee. Our organization is charged with the protection of high-level assets of the military, one of which, recently went missing. These assets are entrusted to our programs as a privilege, not as a right. As such, they will be safeguarded with the upmost care. In these dark times, mankind has the opportunity not only to prove it's humanity, but to earn it.

The Sleeveless Insurrectionist Soldier walks out of the facility. Girlie sharpens her blade using her pistol, then stops when she notices the  Falcon, which flies by Wyoming and the Blue Freelancer.

Wyoming: Well, third craft this afternoon. Let's see who else is arriving.

The Sleeveless Insurrectionist Soldier, Demo Man, and Girlie walk to the landing spot of the Falcon, and Girlie takes off her helmet.

Malcom Hargrove: I look forward to a long, and mutually beneficial, relationship for our two departments. Yours truly, Malcom Hargrove, Assistant to the Oversight Sub-Committee Chairperson.

C.T and the Insurrectionist Leader disembark from the Falcon.

Demo Man: It's her.

Girlie: I can't believe he trusts that bitch after what she did to us.

Wyoming spots C.T.

Wyoming: There she is.

C.T stops and gazes out in his direction.

Wyoming radios Freelancer Command.

Wyoming: Come in, Command. Tell the Director she's here.

The Leader notices C.T looking away.

Insurrectionist Leader: What is it?

C.T: It's nothing... come on.
