"The door to the Forerunner bunker slides open, and the Chief is immediately greeted with the CLACK CLACK of guns going hot. A TRIO OF MARINES have rifles drawn on the door.
WOUNDED MARINE #3: WHOA! HOLD YOUR FIRE!
WOUNDED MARINE #2: One of ours!
As soon as they see its a friendly, they crawl out of cover. They're pretty banged up - some with legs broken, etc.
WOUNDED MARINE #1: It's one of the Spart- wait a...
The shock of the Chief's appearance hits them one after another. The Marines stand there, jaws on their chests.
WOUNDED MARINE #2: (in shock) XO! You better see this!
LASKY: Berger, if this is another exploding plant, I swear I'm going to tell your whole platoon how you really broke that leg.
WOUNDED MARINE #3: Uh, sir?
LASKY: OK, whatcha got-
Lasky looks up - sees the Chief.
LASKY: Holy Crap.
MASTER CHIEF:(saluting) Sir.
It takes Lasky a whole second before he remembers to return the gesture.
LASKY: Master Chief. (beat) No disrespect, but... aren't you kind of... dead?
MASTER CHIEF: Not yet, Lieutenant.
Lasky reaches out to shake Chief's hand.
LASKY: Lasky - Tom Lasky. First officer of the Infinity. (incredulous) We heard your beacon when we came out of slipspace, but when the planet opened, we figured it was just a decoy.
CORTANA: You mean you were headed here before you heard the beacon?
CMDR. DEL RIO: (O.S - Radio) --ransmitting on an open frequency! Infinity is under attack!
RADIO MARINE: Lieutenant, we're up!
They all hurry inside, and gather around a TRANSCEIVER. Through the poor reception, the frustrated face of CMDR. DEL RIO appears on the monitor.
CMDR. DEL RIO: (ON-SCREEN) All ground forces are ordered to return to Infinity immediately! Possible hull breach on multiple decks!
Anyone reading this, respond to Comm on... what frequency?
(doesn't get an answer)
What frequency, damnit?!?
(gets his answer)
137.3 khz.
RADIO MARINE: I'm responding but the signal's still craptastic.
LASKY: (gravely, to Chief) I don't know if its too soon to ask you for a favor, but most of these guys can barely stand, much less fight.
He offers a small SMOKE GRENADE to the Chief.
LASKY: Green smoke will call down a priority extraction team, but they'll never be able to grab us this far in the swamp.
LASKY: (sarcastic) I don't suppose you're any good at clearing LZ's?
MASTER CHIEF: On occasion. I'll radio when the coordinates are secure.
LASKY: (wry grin) Gotta love a guy who's all business."

A smartass Lasky and no sign of Palmer?! I would've loved this cutscene!!
