Did you know that the day I wrote chapter 4, that morning and the night previous I had been thinking a lot about the chapter, and I walked into work, punched in, and immediately took a guys order, well this is not very unusual, nor was the fact that he was wearing a shirt with his name sewn on it, the McDonalds has an additional entranceway on the road to the Imlay City industrial park, I found that the fact that his name was John was slightly ironic, but no more than that, I found it Extremely Ironic that he bought a large coffee, because his total came to $1.17, I just 'kinda thought "It's gunna be a long day."
Those who reviewed chapter5
Warior: Thanks, and if you ever need a hand with those Brutes, I'll be there.
Stupid Hermit: first thanks, I really had fun writing the April fools chapter, and secondly, yeah I wasn't sure what exactly the Master chief was blowing up, so I 'kinda guessed, 'cuz I felt lazy and didn't wanna find out.
H-Dog: Hey, hey, I'm updating :). And just F.Y.I. I don't think I'm gunna add anyone to the story, I'm sorry but I think it would damage the credibility of the story, I don't want any plot holes.
xXHellsingXx: Munch in real life is………inspiring………but good that was just the character I was going for, Caboose and doughnut.
It really stinks that u were kicked, I hope you can come back and do more stories.
JOrdan Hancock: Thanks, I work hard on this, I want it to be the best I can make it. And no I don't have a thread on Bungie.
TheSpectacularInsanity: Just keeping things interesting.
Ghost1800: I will try to lay off Douglad Adams, but it's hard, what with his movie just coming out and all, I for one Liked it.
Also thanks sooooooo much for your patience, my life is so busy lately.
SPECIALGUY: Right and wrong, yes the armor is mark-6 but I was referring to the Spartans themselves, but I used the wrong number, it's the SPARTANS-II, I don't know what happened to SPARTANS-I but John0117 and all other known Spartans are from the SPARTANS-II program.
Also I don't believe that the game contradicts the books, where dose tha game contridect the book? John didn't know anyone on Reach had survived until after blowing Halo. Anyways.
Those are some killer ideas but like you said to much Dues-Ex-Machina, (teleported ammo mark 7 w/ forerunner tech) 'Drools'.
hide-a: Thanks! I'll do my best to improve.
YoukaiNinjaGurl: Cook, a Halo2 loving Ninja………it's good to be amongst like company.
My name, uh, wot was it: I'm glad it made you laugh, and I know how hard it can be to not wake up your parents, I perfected the art of silent hysterical laughter long ago, you have to if your gunna be a night owl.
Warp Ligia Obscura:) continuing, continuing…
ron999: O.K. here's another 1.
Anti-socialist: Thanks, I feel good about it.
Those who reviewed chapter6
Warior: I'm trying to, thanks.
Jericho the Fallen Angel: Thanks, and I've read "The Ark" it rocks, keep it up please.
Skull Panda:………………well……I guess thad'd do it………and thanks, I'm very glad my fanfic is so good, I've tried to do my best on it.
dumass: awwww, (blushes) thanks, anything to keep you insane, I pity those who are sane…………it's got to be sooo boring!
H-Dog: oooooh, oooooh, can you have your phoenix blow up Imlay McDonalds?
after it's closed of course. PLEASE?
(ohh make sure all the workers have left first, my sister closes lost of nights, and if she got caught in the ensuing explosion………well let's just say me and Orlith would have to give you a little visit and I really don't want to have to do that to you.:)
trevor: oh you got 6? Review again and tell me which ones you got please. Theirs 1 or 2 I don't think anyone will get. And as for "Never surrender" that's a good idea, I loved 'Galaxy quest' but there is a song on the Halo2 soundtrack called 'Never Surrender' it's mostly Techno with some Cortana phrases overtop of it.
Me being an up-close-and-personal 'kinda girl, I HATE anything that flies, dad just calles them "Flying skeet". When we're coming up on a room I know has lot's of Buggers, I always tell him "age before beauty." He always returns "Strategy before fool-hardy recklessness." I then stick my tongue out at him.
TheSpectacularInsanity: Thanks for the understanding and the patience. I've been in over my head lately.
YoukaiNinjaGurl: (tear) I'm sorry, I'm trying, you don't have to threaten me;(
Ghost1800: Thanks, laughter is clinicly good for you, they spent millions finding that out, so remember it :)
ok, F.Y.I. I'm trying to contact all my reviewers who have a yahoo account and get them on Yahoo I.M that way If I'm on the next we can chat and you can be all like "Your story stinks why aren't you writing the next chapter," and "Why are you surfing the net? You should be sleeping or writing."………yeah………I'd be fun :)
Chapter6-aquantences
"Thinking" "Speaking" computer or com system A.I.'s talking
Lynx was the first to speak. "But.. how-" The Master Chief cut in
"Ask questions later we have move now!"
"Where are we going?" Questioned Munch, Lynx bit her tongue to keep from answering.
"To the cargo bay." Said The Master Chief, Munch took a breath, about to speak, but Lynx balled her left hand into a fist, and he stopped.
A text from Lynx scrolled across his HUD(1)
Lynx:Remember we know nothing……
Munch:At least I have to pretend.
Lynx:Keep it up and the flood will be the least of your worries
The two looked at the pedestal with the three A.I's on it, Cortana had her right hand on her hip and was inspecting the nails on her left hand, Orlith was preening her wings with an air of dignity, Titus was bouncing his blitz ball soccer style.
"Well, here we go." Said Lynx and the trio reached out and downloaded their respective A.I's, The Chief was quite accustomed to an A.I. downloading, but to Munch and Lynx the feeling of liquid ice penetrating their mind was quite new.
Lynx knew what was coming and she shook her head as the feeling sent chills through her, Munch had no idea whatsoever so he yanked his hand back and gasped.
The indescribable feeling of having a presence in your mind, it's 'kinda like the feeling you get when your being watched, and you know your being watched, but your not creeped out, and the person your watching knows that you know that their watching you, and so on and so forth.
"Whoa……that's trippy." Said Munch and the others had to agree.
(-)(2)
"So, How are you here?" Lynx asked Orlith
I was brought here to help you do what you were brought here to do
"Brought here?" Lynx thought "And what am I here to do?" She asked.
To bring balance.
(-)
"So…… your Titus?" Munch asked the blond character bouncing a ball around in his HUD.
Titus caught the ball and tucked it under his arm.
Well……(3) you might say that, but not really. I'm more like a compilation of his character traits, I'm no more the actual Titus than Orlith is the real Queen Dragon that the Dragon Lady Moreta rode. Not to mention that we never existed in the first place, I mean I was just a dream of the Fayth, and Orlith is from the future.
"So, your 'kinda what he would'a been if he existed."
Yes, that's it! Titus said with a smile
"So……your Titus?"
sigh
(-)
"Are you sure we can trust them?" The Chief said referring to new A.I.'s.
Are you sure we can trust them? Said Cortana referring to the new Spartans.
"I do, I don't know why but I do, it's a-"
Gut feeling, Said Cortana, cutting in. I know, and believe me those A.I,'s are clean, theirs absolutely no way the covenant could have gotten them in without me knowing. The Cove's might have us in weaponry, ship technologies, and shielding, but they don't compare to our computer tec, and they have nothing on out A.I.'s. She said the last part with quite an air of satisfaction.
"Well, I hope your right." He said as he turned on his com.
"Permission to leave the station Sir."
What for Chief?
"To give the Covenant back their bomb." Their was a slight pause as this idea registered, and then…
Permission granted.
The trio grabbed the bomb and started hauling
(-)
I know what your thinking, and it's crazy.
"So, stay here." Was the matter-o-factly reply.
Fortunately for us both, I like crazy.
(-)
"So are you absolutely refusing to tell me why I'm here and how to get out of here?"
Well I told you why you're here, but for the second part…Yes.
"Arrrgh!"
(-)
"So…Your Titus?"
………
(-)
One last question….What if you miss?
The Master Chief looked at the other two who nodded back.
"I won't." he stated flatly as the airlock doors pulled apart
I was gunna go farther but this seemed like an unparallel stopping point, I'm sorry this one is so short, the next one should be more forthcoming.
I've been…..distracted lately (Doom3 for X-Box, Doom3 for X-Box, Doom3 for X-Box Doom3 for X-Box, Doom3 for X-Box, Doom3 for X-Box)
Advice for all fellow gamers out there, never let my sister watch you play Doom3, she totally freaks out over the slightest thing, like Imps spawning in behind you, Charging demon dogs, and Evil-skull laughter.
(1)HUD: heads up display, displaying your health, ammo status, crosshairs, name and rank of comrades, who your talking to on the radio, and Titus had obviously found a to display himself, there are more uses for the HUD than I've mentioned here.
(2)paragraph: these four lines took me longer to write than any other portion of this chap.
(3)What I wanted to put: You have no idea how hard it was to not put "aaah, you'sa might'n be sayin that" I've been watching lots of Star wars.
