I think I've got something to make the whole last part of the game work! Woke up at 5:30 this morning with it. Can you get us some dubbing time tomorrow?

Yeah.

Okay really great. You know when the Master Chief turns and looks at Laskey?

Yeah.

And he looks out the window at Earth?

Wait... Yeah.

And he's thinking about Cortana?

Yeah yeah.

We've never had him say that out loud!

What do you mean?

The silence we have in there, it's so empty. People aren't going to make the connection that he's thinking about Cortana. So we go in there tomorrow, and we record him saying "Cortana said that to me once, about being a machine." You know the kind of voice that's in his head, you can hear just a little echo on it? It'll get just what we missed all along, it'll get that feeling!

You want to add monologue?

No, I think he wants a feeling.

Yes! What do you think?

I, uh I don't think we need it. I think people will be able to understand what he's thinking just fine.

I'm talking about going in there, and recording a voice over. You're saying that's going to be as good as a man just staring out the window? I thought you'd really like it?

Okay okay, call Microsoft and see what we can get tomorrow.
