Hello readers, its been a long time and I am happy to deliver a new chapter to this fanfiction, sorry I have not been active for a long time. I have recently graduated from college and am now currently looking for a job so don't expect updates any time soon. I'm sorry I can't do much more, but for now it will be awhile before a new chapter comes out. I hope you enjoy this chapter, sorry it wasn't long enough, but I wanted to let everyone know I'm still here.

Tria
Bridge
On board the bridge of the Tria that was salvaged from the void between galaxies, after Dr. Crane and his people managed to repair the ship, but the hyperdrive was beyond repair. The only solution was to replace the drive but didn't have the means or knowledge to build a hyperdrive engine, so they replaced it with a slipspace drive.
It took Crane and his people a month to get the materials needed to build a slipspace engine and be able to install it onto the Tria and drive it back to ignis base.
On board the bridge Captain Alton was taking in the scenery of what an Ancient warship looked like on the inside.
"Quite an impressive site." Remarked Alton of the Ancients taste. "Wonder how she fares in battle?"
Crane walked up to Alton holding a tablet in his arms looking over the entire ships systems. "According to information this ship can handle a couple of Hive ships with a full complement of drones." Stated Crane as he goes over the battle logs of the ship. "However, they were being powered by a ZPM that boosted their shield strength and 30% of their drones have been exhausted."
"Can we install weapons of our own on this ship?" Wondered Alton of upgrading its armaments.
Crane shook his head. "It would require a massive overhaul in drydock for months to do that." Replied Crane of the extensive time and work that would be needed to make any upgrades. "I was lucky enough to install a slipspace engine on this thing given what I was working with."
Alton began looking around remembering all the times he had to go back and forth with his ship to deliver supplies. The intergalactic gate bridge would have made things easier, but they were trying to finish construction of the space station to allow people to travel to Atlantis and back to Earth without the need for a Jumper to take them there.
"It doesn't matter unfortunately we won't be keeping the ship with us." Sighed Alton as he received orders to have the ship ready to travel back to UNSC space. "The UNSC wants their own people to study the ship and incorporate anything they can learn into the next infinity-class ship."
Crane was surprised to hear that. "I didn't think another would be built any time soon." Remarked Crane considering the construction cost for the first one. "They must be taking everything we recovered and putting it into it."
"While I don't have all the information, UNSC high command wants to keep this quiet." Alton disclosing high command's actions. "Rumor is they're trying to prepare for a possible future attack from outside the galaxy."
Crane could not deny the concerns of the UNSC, after hearing about the potential enemies, they wanted to beef up their technology in any way possible.
"So, when is the Tria leaving Pegasus?" Asked Crane wondering how much time he still has to do his own research.
Alton stopped looking around and faced Crane. "A team of specialists hand-picked by Admiral Osman will be arriving by Stargate from Gamma base back in our galaxy to take her home in three days." Answered Alton as he walks out from the bridge he yells back at Crane. "Make sure to have all your reports ready for them by the time they get here."
Crane was left on the bridge wondering what kind of plans the UNSC has for the Tria.

UNSC Military Intelligence Base
Conference Room
In the base of military intelligence an experiment was taking placed with eight Spartans divided into two four-man teams, fireteam Ruby and fireteam Sapphire. Both teams had gone through assessments in the weeks prior to this moment as both teams were being injected with the Wraith enzyme, all of them being monitored by their personal A.I.
Fireteams Ruby and Sapphire were dominating the other fireteams. It was beginning to show how the enzyme has greatly enhanced a Spartan IV's augmentations to further heights never seen before.
These enzyme enhanced Spartans we're faster, stronger, more accurate, and stamina seemed virtually limitless.
In the conference room Osman was going over the results with other personnel on the base. "So, has the test been successful?" Asked Osman eager to see the fruits of their labor.
One of the scientists was sweating as he takes out a handkerchief and began wiping the sweat off his forward worried about giving his report to Osman as many in the UNSC knows her reputation. "Ah..Ah,,t..th..the test has shown an increased in physical capabilities as seen from the information we have gleaned from Dr. Collins." The scientist shivered about reading the next report. "h..how..however the side effects that were reported has begun to show up in the Spartans."
Osman's pleased face changed to a scowl as she looks at the scientist. "What kind of side effects are you referring to?" Growled Osman not happy to hear this.
The scientist again used the handkerchief he had in his hand and wiped his forehead. "Ah..the..they have been experiencing judgement problems and on occasion of being unable to understand reason." Spluttered the scientist concerned about his position. "It's taking the A.I.'s everything to keep them focus and stable."
Osman began thinking before responding. "Dial back their enzyme intakes but keep the experiment going." Ordered Osman. "I want to test them in the field soon."
Osman than changed the image to an Infinity-class ship in construction. "The construction of the next infinity-class ship the UNSC Eternity is under construction and won't be finished until two years from now." Commented Osman on the status of the next super carrier being made. "As you all know this construction will be different then the construction of the Infinity as we will be incorporating the discoveries we have made in Pegasus into its design."
One of Osman's aides spoke up. "The discoveries that have been made are the minerals discovered called Naquadah and Trinium that shows interesting properties that will be used for the hull of the Eternity. Ancient technologies we have acquired and upgrades we have learned from the Atlantis expedition." Listed the aide of all they have acquired from Alton's expedition into the Pegasus galaxy.
There were murmurs amongst the people in the room, many members feel that what they have is miniscule compared to what the humans from Earth possess specifically the intergalactic Hyperdrive technology that travel faster than their ships in the void between galaxies, then there was the Asgard beaming technology they possess that could benefit their people.
Osman understood where they're disgruntlement was coming from. "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that many of you are frustrated given where we are right now in our relationship with the humans from another galaxy." Said Osman trying to placate the people in the room's frustrations. "Let's not fret on what we don't have and focus on what we have."
Osman nodded her aide to change the image to a ship the people in the room have never seen before. "Thanks to the efforts of Captain Alton we have acquired an Ancient warship they retrieved from the void in between galaxies, those Ancients they discovered a month ago left behind when they took back the city." Smirked Osman of the fine the UNSC has in their possession. "I am sending a team to retrieve the ship and bring it back here for study."
One man in the room spoke up. "I thought the Ancients protect their most sensitive technologies with some kind of gene that acts like a genetic key that activates their technology, similar to the Forerunners activation requirement for their technology?" Questioned the man on security protocols placed on this technology.
Osman had a smirk on her face. "Thanks to Dr. Collins for discovering this genetic marker from Colonel Sheppard and his people when they were held by us, my science team has already created a means to give this gene to all of us." Declared Osman of the ability now to be able to activate Ancient technology. "The people I'm sending to retrieve the ship has already taken the gene therapy and will operate it just fine."
The people in the room fell silent impressed with Osman being two steps ahead of everyone.
"With that being the last issue on the list we should move on to other matters." Insisted Osman of the need to go into other details.
The people in the room didn't object as they all looked at the next thing on the list to cover.

Alton's Office
3 days later
In Captain Alton's office Alton was sitting at his desk reading over mission reports from his GR teams, when suddenly Alton hears a knock on his door. "Come in." He said while not looking away from the reports.
Captain Veronica Ann Dare walks in. "Captain Alton have a minute?" Asked Dare seeking an audience with Alton.
"Take a seat." Offered Alton as he gestured with his hands to the chair in front of his desk. "What is this about?"
"It's about the Ancient warship were handing over to the UNSC." Commented Dare on their acquisition of the Tria from the void. "I think we should be the ones to hold on to the ship."
Alton was surprised to hear this from Dare of all the people on his ship. "Crane said the same thing, but we don't have much of a choice in that matter, Captain, our return to Pegasus was only allowed because the higher ups were hoping to acquire something substantial for the cost of this mission." Said Alton reminding Dare of why they are here in the first place. "I'm surprised your questioning this decision."
Dare had a grin on her face seeing the irony. "I know what you mean, but the threat of the Wraith from my intelligence report and on top of that the Asuran threat we're out gun in this galaxy." Grumbled Dare of the overwhelming odds against them. "It's only matter of time before our base of operations here in this galaxy comes under attack."
Alton understood where Dare was coming from. The UNSC wasn't going to commit to a large presence in Pegasus when they still have problems of their own back in their home galaxy. "The UNSC is stretch pretty thin these days, especially now, considering the Asgard are not able to meet with our leaders." Commented Alton remembering the message he received from Atlantis the Asgard were not able to meet with any more human governments from other worlds let alone another galaxy. "The loss of making an alliance with an advance alien race not hell bent on our destruction was a blow to the UNSC, so they need something to help boost our military capabilities."
Before Dare could say another word, klaxon alarms sounded off signaling the activation of the Stargate. After a moment a radio transmission from the control room reported to Alton that Military intelligence officials have arrived to take the ship.
"Better go meet our very brief time of guests we have to accommodate before they leave." Said Alton as he gets up from his chair and walks out the door with Dare right behind him.
Ignis Base
Conference Room
In the conference room was Commander Mavabe of military intelligence wearing UNSC drags. Alton and Dare soon showed up in the conference room to greet the man.
"Commander!" Stated Alton as he salutes Mavabe.
"Captain!" Stated Mavabe as he salutes Alton and turns to Dare. "Captain!"
"Commander!" Replied Dare with a salute of her own. "I trust you have been informed of the ship you are about to take?"
Mavabe lowered his arm and placed both behind his back. "We read Dr. Crane's research on the Ancient ship." Reported Mavabe of looking over the detailed information Crane made for his team. "My team and I will ensure that the Tria arrives safely to UNSC space."
Alton and Dare looked at one another and back at Mavabe. "Good to hear, in the meantime why don't you and your team settle in before leaving." Offered Alton, trying to be courteous.
Mavabe smiled at Alton. "Thank you for the hospitality, Captain, but my orders were to immediately begin my mission." Affirmed Mavabe of the need to begin. "It will take us a month just to get back to the UNSC, assuming nothing goes wrong with the Slipspace drive."
Alton felt a little insulted that Mavabe would think his own people were incompetent. "I assure you Commander that the drive will not fail on your mission." Griped Alton showing his displeasure at Mavabe's insinuation.
"Then I should head out now." Gibed Mavabe as he raises his arms and salutes to both Altona and Dare. "If you'll excuse me Captains, I have a ship to command."
Mavabe soon walks out the door after Alton dismisses him.
"Hope Crane has a better time with him." Blurted out Alton as he walks out of the conference room leaving Dare by herself.

Bridge
On the bridge of the Tria, Mavabe and his military intelligence team had arrived and immediately began checking the systems on board the bridge. Crane was there going over what each station is and how they were to connect their computer systems into the ancient ones to be able to translate the language as everything was in Ancient.
Mavabe was on the bridge walking around taking in the view. "Impressive." Commented Mavabe at the design and architecture. "Can't wait to bring this back to the UNSC for study."
Crane was on his tablet looking over his own research he has done. "This ship is impressive boasting a number of technologies we haven't yet examined." Claimed Crane of there being more than what he has managed to study. "There is one piece of technology I need to inform you; in case something happens on your journey back home."
Mavabe looked intrigued and followed Crane out of the bridge.
Tria
Control Chair Room
Crane led Mavabe to the control chair room where the most important piece of technology was. "Commander Mavabe, I assume you know what this is?" Asked Crane wondering if Mavabe did his research.
Mavabe gave a small grin on his face as he walks around the control chair. "The control chair which can virtually take over the entire ships systems, in the event the bridge was lost." Explained Mavabe making Crane aware that he is knowledgeable on this technology. "It can also control those infamous drone weapons I've heard so much about."
"Well at least I don't have to explain this technology." Replied Crane of not having to go into detail of every little thing on this ship. "But you are aware in order to use this technology you must have a certain genetic key to be able to turn it on."
"You don't say!" Smirked Mavabe as he takes a seat in the chair and focus his mind on turning it on. The chair then retracted back with lights turning on indicating its activation. "I was injected with a retroviral gene therapy to transfer the Ancient gene expression to Military intelligence personnel before we left."
"Good for you, so have I." Snickered Crane not liking Mavabe's snobby attitude. "Should anything happen on your way back to UNSC space use the control chair to take over the systems." Explained Crane as he looks at his tablet on the activation of the control chair. "Everything looks good on my end, your all set and ready to go."
Mavabe deactivated the chair and stood up from it. "As soon as the last of the supplies are on board we're setting off on our maiden voyage." Declared Mavabe as he walks out the room. "Wrap everything up Dr. Crane, because we leave regardless who's left on board."
As Mavabe walks out the control chair room, leaving Crane alone with his own thoughts.

HIGHCOM
Facility-Bravo 6
Conference Room
In the conference room of bravo 6, Lord Hood was giving a report to a number of military leaders in the UNSC on the planned Military outpost they are going to make in the Milky Way galaxy.
"Ladies and gentlemen as you are all aware today, we send our people to another galaxy to set up a military outpost and hopefully one day a colony." Reported Hood to the men and women in the conference room. "The planet designated by Earth as P9Z-1B7 has been chosen by them and set up a Stargate on the planet that is unknown to any factions in the Milky Way."
This was a condition the UNSC wanted for the alliance with Earth, they would place a Stargate on a planet that would create a completely new address for their people to use.
"I assume we are giving something in return?" Asked one of the members in the room. "That's usually how alliances work."
It was true Earth wanted something for their services and while currently they are engaged with another enemy in their galaxy called the Ori an off shoot of the Ancients who are waging a holy crusade against the citizens of the Milky Way to convert all of them to origin. The Ori are a technologically advance society with unstoppable warships, but Earth has managed to block the Ori from sending more ships to the Milky Way.
"That's correct and while I can't risk contributing military assets for fear the Ori might learn about our galaxy, we can at least offer them the means to defend themselves." Declared Hood of his intentions as he brings up an image of a very familiar piece of technology. "I plan to offer them a planetary defense weapons, namely the Orbital Defense Platform (ODP)."
There were many whispers amongst the committee as many didn't like the ideas of handing the designs of their most powerful defense platform to a potential enemy, considering Earth hasn't shared with them of any valuable technologies.
Hood sensing the committee's reluctance to hand this technology over attempted to placate their concerns. "This is the foundation we must build upon to further strength our alliance with Earth and hopefully gain access to said technologies they possess."
Many took Hoods words to consideration and began alleviating their concerns. "Who are we sending to this planet in the Milky Way?" Asked a committee member.
Hood brings up an image of a man in his late 50s. "I like to present Brigadier General Marcus Faux, who I have appointed to command the military outpost in another galaxy." Declared Hood. "He has served in the UNSC for years rising to the rank of Brigadier General and commands great respect from his troops, I have allowed him to hand pick up to 300 UNSC personnel to travel to the planet."
While many had their own opinion on who should be allowed to go but deferred to Hood's judgement. With nothing else to discuss Hood ended the meeting on that note and each member left the conference room to prepare for this operation.
Milky Way
P9Z-1B7
On the planet designated by Stargate Command as P9Z-1B7, SG-9 along with several other SGC personnel were gathered to welcome people from the UNSC. A deal had been made to move a stargate to a new planet not part of the gate network that created a new address.
Major Carl Grogan was there leading his team to welcome the UNSC personnel to the planet and to assist them in anyway possible. Grogan was a lieutenant in the United States Military recruited to the SGC, after going through General O'Neill's training regime back in 2002 when O'Neill was a Colonel and passed, he was placed on SG-9. Major Grogan's whole team was wiped out on the planet Latona by the Goa'uld Svarog, he was later promoted to Major and now leads Sg-9 on diplomatic missions.
As Major Grogan and his team stand by in front of the Stargate, one of his teammates spoke up. "So how long are we going to keep waiting for them?" Asked the teammate.
Grogan turned to face his the man. "According to our information their measurement of time is similar to ours, so a couple of more minutes." Replied Grogan as he looks at his watch. "Not to mention this is a big step for their people sending them to another galaxy."
"Surprised were here to greet these people instead of SG-1?" Said a different teammate.
Grogan turned back in front of the gate. "SG-1 is currently dealing with the Ori." Replied Grogan of why sG-1 wasn't there. "Especially now since Dr. Jackson was captured by them."
No one said another word as the Stargate began to activate and signaling the arrival of the UNSC to their galaxy. After the gate came to life a device came through the active wormhole hovering over the ground.
SG-9 had their weapons up in surprise to see this device, Grogan order his men to stand down and immediately assumed it was the UNSC version of a MALP. After the device surveyed the area UNSC personnel came through greeting the SGC personnel on the other side.

Conference Room
It had been days since Commander Mavabe left the Ulnar system on his way back home to their galaxy with the Tria, in that time Dare began reporting on Wraith activity in this sector of Pegasus and the continued encountering of other human civilizations on other planets by GR-teams.
"We've located a Cruiser that has landed on the planet, designated as M7A-3R2 in this part of Pegasus." Proclaimed Dare on the hologram in the center of the conference room. "Unfortunately, there is no Stargate on this planet, however there is a space gate."
Many in the conference room looked to one another thinking of the inconvenience. "Well unfortunately we don't have apuddle jumper of our own, or a version of that vessel." Remarked Alton of their lack of a ship that can fit through the gate. "Although I heard rumors of plans to make our own version of a gate ship."
Crane then intervenes. "'Plans' being the operative word, Captain." Stated Crane. "I had made proposals, but such a thing is not considered necessary to the UNSC."
Alton understood the reason, there were no Gate network back in their galaxy, so the construction of a gate ship was not a the top of the UNSC's to do list. "I'm guessing you want us to travel to the planet and take out the Cruiser?" Asked Alton of Dare's intentions.
"I don't want to take out the cruiser." Stated Dare on her real motivations. "I want to capture the ship."
The room fell silent on Dare's proposed idea "You can't be serious?" Asked Colonel Lang sitting in this meeting with other officials.
"I am." Insisted Dare on the idea. "We need new intel on Wraith activity the location of other bases and a much examination of their technology."
Yelena then appeared on the desk. "I believe capturing this ship is futile as the Wraith like the Ancients have genetic requirement to use their most sensitive technology." Stated Yelena reading from intelligence reports they acquired from Atlantis.
Dare looked to Crane. "Crane has been working on a manual interface using Wraith DNA, Dr. Collins as acquired from prisoners we captured when we were dealing with a rogue member of the Atlantis expedition a Lieutenant Aidan Ford." Explained Dare recalling the events of the past that has led them to this moment.
Alton looked at Crane. "Can you make this work?" Asked Alton on Crane's capabilities.
"I believe I have successfully created a manual interface that will allow us to pilot the ship." Proclaimed Crane confident in his work. "But it's never been tested before."
"What about that Wraith dart we captured?" Asked Faison wondering if it required some sort of genetic verification.
Crane shook his head. "Darts don't require that particular technology as Colonel Sheppard has been able to fly these things in the past." Answered Crane as he begins looking over information on his laptop. "So far when it comes to Wraith technology with a genetic key requirement is on their Hive ships and possibly their cruisers too."
Many in the room began to think this mission might not be a good one, but many know if they want to make any effort at fighting the Wraith, they must take the initiative.
"Even if Dr. Crane's manual interface doesn't work, we could always destroy the ship with C-12." Declared Faison giving other options in this mission. "Will call it plan B."
Alton leaned in thinking for a moment before making a decision. "I'll run it by high command on their daily check-ins when they dial the gate for reports on operations in Pegasus." Decided Alton as he stands up from his seat. "Dismissed."
Alton walks out of the conference room leaving many to wonder what high command will do.
Ignis Base
Alton's Office
Alton in his office was reading over the mission reports of other team members, until Dare walked into the room.
"Captain, do you have a moment?" Asked Dare as she waits for him to respond.
Alton looks up from reading reports. "This is becoming habit you and I." Professed Alton of Dare always showing up in his office. "People might get the wrong idea."
Dare just smirked and shakes her head. "If that happened, I would fine the one spreading those rumors and have them disappear." Bragged Dare of what ONI did in the past to silence people. "But, back to why I'm here, are you going to convince them to launch this operation."
Alton closed the report and leaned back in his chair sighing heavily. "To be honest I'm not sure we should risk any operation against the Wraith at the moment when we have the replicator threat on our doorstep." Confessed Alton on what they should be focusing on. "The Wraith are currently in a civil war amongst themselves fighting over feeding grounds, I say we let them beat each other over the head and wait till their weaken enough to launch such high-risk missions."
Dare leaned back and crossed her arms. "I get it, the replicators represent a serious threat, but were monitoring their home world right now, if they make a move will know about it." Reported Dare on their continue surveillance of the replicators. "And yes, the Wraith are fighting amongst themselves which is good for us to be able to sneak on that ship and gather intelligence, before one faction over comes another and be able to regroup to a functioning alliance that will make it difficult in the long run for us."
Dare made her point, and it was one that was difficult to refute. "I will put forward your proposal to high command and see where it goes." Offered Alton of bringing up the mission plan to their superiors. "I can't promise anything else."
Dare straightened herself up. "Thank you, Captain." Said Dare as she walks out of Alton's office leaving him to his thoughts.

Unknown Planet
Olesian Outpost
On this undisclosed planet Torrell and Kolya was walking through what looked like a military outpost created by Torrell and his Olesian people after their escape from Olesia with the help from Colonel Sheppard and Dr. Weir sending them to one of the backup Alpha sites. After that they left the Alpha site after figuring out how the Stargate worked and travelled to other planets learning about the Stargate network.
It was here his people and them began rebuilding their civilization under his leadership, it was progressing fast thanks to the fact that some of his people were already knowledgeable in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics that their people developed extensively thanks to their ancestors deal with the Wraith that allowed them to advance with the threat of Wraith culling's, until the deal was broken when his people of that island his government sent them to die at the hands of the Wraith, escaped through the stargate.
Kolya looked at the outpost Torrell and his people had built. "Quite an impressive feat you've managed." Remarked Kolya at what the Olesians have done. "You've accomplice much in your time."
Torrel had a smirk on his face. "I can't take all the credit, if we hadn't figured out how to operate the Stargate, we wouldn't have been able to make contact with people who have access to what we needed to get this place up and running." Replied Torrell of the many contacts he has made on their journey to rebuild their civilization. "Soon will be able to launch attacks on the Wraith and other enemies."
Kolya looked at Torrell with suspicions. "How do you plan to do that?" Asked Kolya, while impressed with Torrell a large military campaign against the Wraith was a long way from fruition.
Torrell grin with delight. "I'll show you." Replied Torrell as he leads Kolya to a different part of the outpost.
Olesian Outpost
Hangar
Torrel walked into a hangar followed by Kolya. "We didn't just pick this planet with a reason to set up an outpost." Declared Torrell as he activates the lights in the hangar revealing a lantean cruiser in their mitts. "We discovered it on this planet and began effecting repairs."
Kolya walked up to the ship amazed at seeing an ancestor vessel. "I'm glad I joined up with you Torrell." Blurted Kolya surprised to see what he has. "Its impressive you discovered it, but repairing it is one thing!"
Torrell understood where Kolya was coming from. "This technology is far more advance than anything my people have been able to come up with, but that doesn't mean we can't learn." Affirmed Torrell of his trust in his people in repairing the ship. "We've managed to repair the hull damage and other systems, thanks to a little help from some people we encountered on our travels.."
"How have you managed that?" Asked Kolya curious of Torrell's achievement. "Not to mention ancestral technologies like these require a special gene to operate these systems."
Torrell chuckled. "You be surprised how much the ancestors left behind on other planets, we just stripped them for parts and used it to repair the ship, but the bes tpart was encountering some people who have experience in building ships." Replied Torrell on how they repaired the cruiser. "As for that whole technology activation gene these things required, I had to persuade a certain prisoner."
Kolya had a raised eyebrow intrigued by this information.
Olesian Outpost
Prisoner Holding Cell
Torrell leads Kolya into the prisoner holding cell where on individual was held captive, tied up for good measure.
"I believe you two have met!" Stated Torrell.
Kolya walks up to the prison cell to see this individual. "Lieutenant Ford, what a pleasure to see you again." Said Kolya as he looked at one of his former enemies now imprisoned.
Aiden Ford looks up with contempt in his eyes at Kolya remembering the times he encountered the Genii operative.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please leave a comment. Now to go into detail about this chapter, the Asgard are not meeting with the UNSC as they are preparing for that mass suicide they are planning in the last episode of SG-1 season 10 unending. The UNSC are sending people to the Milky Way, don't expect to see a lot of interactions with UNSC officials on Earth or any involvement in the Milky Way at all. Torrell and his people are able to repair the lantean cruiser thanks to the people from the traveller fleet in Pegasus who get left behind by their own when population exceeds a ships limit, Lieutenant Ford is alive, I didn't kill him off and is a prisoner of Torrell, you wondering if he is still on the enzyme, you will have to wait for the next chapter for more information. Also I finished going through all the latest Halo games Halo Infinite, and I have to say, I don't know what 343 industries is thinking when they made this new trilogy, I don't know how you guys feel, but this is my opinion, but they keep changing the enemies in each game;(WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED): for example at the end of Halo 4 Spartan Ops I thought Halsey was going to be the next enemy in Halo 5 considering she said she wanted revenge at the end, but Halo 5 Guardians comes out and the enemy is Cortana and the Created, so I expected to see them in Halo Infinite, but we now are dealing with the Banished Atriox who unleashed a species called the endless or Xalanyn if you had read the secret messages you can find on Zeta halo, who are immune from the firing of the Halo array, so I don't get what they are doing considering Bungie kept the enemies consistent from the first Halo game, the covenant and the flood all the way to the end of Halo 3. Haven't decided if I want to include any parts from these events and incorporated into my story yet I am still thinking about it, but this is my opinion on the matter when it comes to the Reclaimer trilogy they keep changing the enemy at the beginning of every new installment. Don't know what your thoughts on the matter, maybe you have different opinion, but let me make one thing clear I enjoyed the game, I'm just saying 343's transition from each game to me is not consistent and makes me confused, that's all I have to say about the Reclaimer trilogy.
