Hello to all the new and returning readers of this fanfic! I will be adding in a timeline to give you all a better understanding of what has happened to set the stage for this story, so to speak. As a result, all of the other chapters will be moved up one, so the story will officially start next chapter. If you haven't read this story before or are returning to it, I highly recommend you check out this brief history of Wolfenstein: The New Order. Of course, Wolfenstein belongs to its respective developers and producers, and I do not own Halo, either. My OC characters are property of me, myself, and I, but that's about it. Enjoy!
