I will think of this woman every time I grapple melee a grunt

[charliefoxtrot-]

"Do you know how expensive this gear is, son?"
"Yes, I watched the videos on the official Halo YouTube."

[AutumnOnFire]

Don't worry French Scientist Lady, when i'm zipping through Zeta Halo like Spiderman, i'll be thinking of you!

[Greenskull]

I was waiting so patiently for her to just be yeeted across the screen.

First a soldier sharing his story of how gruesome and mentally damaging the war is, now a backstory to how things are manufactured and produced, and how exhausting it is to do just that, by the engineers who spend a painstakingly amount of hours providing us, the players, the tools to win and dominate our enemies.

Bravo!

Doctor: “So what are your injuries?”
Woman: “I have a concussion and abroken arm.”
Doctor: “Why do you sound so proud when you say that.”

[SlipspaceEntertainment]

Enjoying these live action ads really makes the universe feel real and that it’s not just the Master Chief there are thousands of people that work behind him to make sure all his gear works to make sure he can work at his peak

[mimik]

This woman worked so hard so we could have our trickshots people! Pay your respects!

[CliffDiverBOA]

UNSC: A grappling hook is stupid and won't have any useful traversal or combat capabilities.

Engineer: Bet.

Whoever came up with this pre-launch release series of these little stories needs a massive raise.

[MintBlitz]

The care that has gone into Halo Infinite really shows why the game is trending over other titles.
Halo really feels like its back.

[smum]

As a PhD student in engineering, I really appriciate this portrayal of how tech is made/how science is done. It's an ugly process and never goes exactly how you expect initially.

[FoxyGrandpa]

Yeah, this marketing is next level. Heavy Believe vibes once again. I can’t wait for this game

The glassing of Arcadia part hit me on another level. Imagine living in this universe, waking up everyday, not knowing whether or not the Covenant will find the planet you are on and glassing it. Any day could be the last. Mad props to engineers like her, and the millions of brilliant minds of humanity that helped developed the tools for the UNSC forces to help defeat the Covenant, and save humanity from extinction. I wonder what archives we'll see next?

The grapple, while a physical object, is also a metaphor for her and her daughter.

Her daughter is UNSC, probably a pilot, flight crew, or works on a freighter that resupplies UNSC planets during war. You can gather this from similar previous videos where soldiers have taken videos in their bunks. She's young, and probably has a low level position on a crew or ship. The mom, as a civil engineer, struggles to make a weapon that will aid Spartans, which in turn, help aid UNSC citizens and service men and women. The grapple is a metaphor for the mother's inability to be close to her daughter and protect her from harm. You can see this subtly hinted at with the riddle, with them both agreeing that no ship in the fleet can "travel that far". The riddle is very nuanced but you can see by their reactions, that they both know the distance between them is too far to cover to see each other at the time.

The addition of the news of the glassing of Arcadia. It's the same type of news that a military parent, spouse, or sibling might have a non reaction to after probably listening to many news stories about UNSC losses and the internal realization that the person they love could be next. She's basically selective listening to find out specifically if it affects her daughter. You can tell she's done this many times, as she has virtually no reaction to the new of an entire planet being glassed.


The mother obsessively works on the device and exercises to keep her mind off the stress of her daughter being in harm's way, even ignoring her daughter while she works to accomplish the completion of the grapple. She is very emotional when it finally works. Like she is relieved that she made something that she knows will help protect people like her daughter. After she completes the grapple, the focus turns to them being able to meet again in person and the story ends with a happier note.

The grapple is a metaphor because it helps cover great distances, not previously able to do, to get to the place or object you are trying to get to, or to bring to you. It deals with a feeling of powerlessness, and how we cope to try and circumvent that powerlessness.

She's crying from so much happiness.

"Think of all of Master Chief's sick 360 air no scopes!" *Continued uncontrollable happy crying*

[OutcastsRedeemer]

Non Halo fan: "Wait halo has been more about shooting aliens?"
Halo fan: "Always has been." *Grapples him in for a hug*

[slipper]

The Scientist lady was really hurt in the last test, but the joy of success overcame the pain and she still smiled while feeling pain knowing that her grappleshot is complete. Really shows you the work and dedication that goes into building MasterChief's MJOLNIR Armor...

[Pintexx]

I love how she smashed into the wall clearly showing how a making a wrist attached grapple that can fling a 900 lb Spartan is quite the challenge

As a college student who dreams about developing prototypes and technologies, it brings me to tears seeing a research scientist not giving up and having support from her daughter all the way until she succeeds. My family came to America for a better life and so many sacrifices were made.. I can’t believe I made it this far to be the first to graduate from college within my family and their support.
