He's your new sidekick.

I'm wondering further if the messages across the screen are messages from Bungie, or level names, or nothing, or what:

Please remain calm
expect delays
Road Closed
Yellow means Yield
Obey Posted Limits
Pardon Our Dust
Maddie where are you? (Find the AI... just like finding Cortana)
Proceed with Caution
Danger, Flood Zone!! (This sounds deliberate...)
Final Notice, Bill Past Due
Keep it Clean

I'm on-board the Quotrain.
