Author's Note #13: Replies to comments, etc.

So I figured that's it's been a while since I've replied to those who have commented on my story, and I appreciate the critique and reviews. So let's get onto it. This is just a review chapter. Also, only the reviews on the first page will be answered.

FYAT - Not a problem. I'm not asking you to read. If you don't like it, don't read it.

stormdragon981 - I'm not sure what you're getting at here. I haven't forgotten anything. I simply don't see a need to bring in AH at this point. I may bring it in later on.

megacarrol - Thanks! Always good to know.

Tommy298 - Yeah, I'll have to change the description. This is now a multiverse crossover. Thank you for reminding me. And trust me, I do know where I'm going with this.

Dovahkiin the Imperial - Why thank you. I'll try my best to keep things within canon, but of course, some things will be changed in order to fit. Thank you!

CrazyHades - I was imagining that the Jedi sort of surprised him with that. I have read the books, and I know MC has a fair amount of skill with the Energy Sword. But, plot, ya know? But thanks for the info!

Gaben and Named - So both of you are asking me for feats on WF. Understandable, considering it isn't one of the bigger 'verses out there. So I'll reply to both of your posts at the same time.

1) Named - I suppose that was an oversight on my part. I'll see what I can do.

2) Fleets and ships - Now let's look at the facts. The OSG, in total, has 50k ships as per my canon. In formal Halo canon, the UNSC has around 2k, and the Covenant about triple that (I don't think we have numbers for their fleets). According to intercepted transmissions from the Gradivus Dilemna, a WF event, the Corpus, a faction in Warframe, brushed aside the loss of over 100k warships. They simply stopped because the conflict wasn't economical. These ships were from a single (albeit wealthy) private citizen in the Corpus. From this info, you can extrapolate that the Corpus fleet in its entirety numbers in the millions, which obviously means they outnumber the OSG at least 50-1. On top of that, their warships in question have been measured in game to be around 20 km in length, which means that weaponry is literally a non-issue. They could ram the Infinity.

This is the Corpus. The Grineer, the more dominant faction, was noted to have far more ships than the Corpus. Which would put the number of 'Galleons' (their standard, 2 km long warships) at several million. On top of that, during Operation Slingshot, Tethra's Doom, and Eyes of Blight, the Grineer were producing tens of thousands of 20 km Fomorian and Balor Fomorian dreadnoughts in a period of weeks. Each of these ships can chop a Corpus warship in half with their main guns, or obliterate a Tenno relay with a single shot.

Now the question here is how the hell they're making so many ships with a single solar-system's worth of resources. How they outnumber the Galactic Republic. The answer? - Fiction. And more realistically, Space is huge. WF would appear (this is simply the most accepted canon) to simply utilize this space more effectively. Otherwise, we can't argue, considering it's hard canon. Also, WF stats from 2016 says that the Tenno have completed over 504 million missions. If even 1% of those were ship sabotage, then it would still put the number of ships destroyed at 5.4 million. And it hasn't even slowed down anyone. They shrug it off like rain.

If you guys need more fleet calcs, feel free to PM me, and I'll send you links and whatnot.

*Ugh finger cramps. Back to typing*

3) Tech - So Named brought up the point that WF is the 'technological superior' of the OSG. I don't think I said this, but either way, it is only partially true. The Grineer and Corpus are only Tier 2. They are extremely powerful, and could give the Forerunners a headache if they went out of control, but they aren't that powerful. Now, the other three factions, the Tenno, Orokin, and Sentients, are a different story.

Tenno - In terms of tech, they rely more on space magic, and they do it on a small scale, considering they are mainly saboteurs and not fleet specialists. Among their feats include things like localized time-stops, base manipulation of electromagnetic force, magnetizing normally mundane objects, like rubber, casual dimension hopping, walking from one side of the solar-system to another (although the feat in question killed the person who did, considering they misplaced a decimal somewhere), manipulating the concept of life and death itself, and much more. This is enough to put them on Forerunner-lite tier. They would still lose in all-out war (or they would simply bunker in the Void, immune to everything).

Orokin - This is where things get interesting. They turned Phobos, an asteroid, into a fully fledged planet with a Earth-type gravitational field and atmosphere, yet only increased its size by a few thousand times. It's much smaller than the Earth, but possess' similar characteristics. They did similar things to Mercury, Venus, Pluto, Sedna, Ceres, and Eris. On top of this, they were masters of dimensional manipulation, apparently immortal, and were kinda like the Precursors in a way. Manipulating life to their own advantage.

Sentients - Built by the Orokin as terraforming machines, they gained their Sentience and turned on their creators. As stated by Hunhow, a single Sentient, a few hundred metres in size, can obliterate entire worlds, and alter entire solar-systems. The Lotus, a child by Sentient standards, was able to punt the Moon into the Void for centuries without anyone being the wiser. On top of that, they could regenerate from anything, and regrow themselves from anything. They learned from everything and were highly intelligent. So there you go.

3) Tenno capabilities - This will take a while to go through, but I'll try to keep it short. Let's start with standard ground combat. Let's state the advantages that, say, a Tenno straight out of cryosleep with no weapons possess' over the average Spartan II.

-Much faster (they move so fast that they were near invisible to those watching, or appeared as blurs of colour).

-Much stronger (lifts dozens of tons with little exertion, can kick a one-ton soldier over a kilometre with little effort).

-Highly intelligent (hack into secured military supercomputers in seconds)

-Far more durable - consistently tank hordes of anti-tank (15-20 mm) fire with little to no effect, withstand rockets (which leave significant debris and craters where they hit) and snipers (which can core through 5 metres of battle-plate with no loss in power or accuracy).

From that alone, you can see how a single Tenno easily overpowers anything in the OSG arsenal. On top of that, they are functionally immortal, resurrect from anything, and use space magic like crazy. Obviously, now you guys think that I'm trying to make a WF stomp here, but I do know where my story is going, and it should prevent any kind of stomp.

I'll go into Grineer and Corpus infantry in detail later on, but for basics, they all tank just as much as Tenno, can leap 20 feet in one go with no effort, punch the ground hard enough to send Tenno flying, and have weapons with 20 mm barrels, which fire at 20 rounds a second.

Author's Note #14 - Stuff

If you guys need more, please don't hesitate to ask. I know that WF may seem OP (assuming you believe what I said), but there is a method to my madness, and I will ensure little to no stomps occur, for anyone. With that, thanks for reading, and until next time!
