Preface
So here we go; a rewrite of The Shores of Xanadu.
First thing's first however. I'd like to thank the author of the original Shores of Xanadu for his excellent work. Without him I would have nothing to work with and he's still serving as my beta, advisor and sounding board. So thank you avatar11792 for all your help.
I would also encourage people to read the original. It is an excellent read and one that I very much enjoyed.
Now for all the legal stuff. I do not own Starcraft, Halo, Alien or any other intellectual property referenced in this story. They belong to powerful corporations that could crush me like a bug if they so choose.
