They had arrived in a massive cathedral like area that served as the repair station and he watched intently while keeping his hands on his Assault Rifle as the Monitor began to fire blue-violet beams into the data crystal chip that housed Cortana's Riemann Matrix, the very core of her being. He stared back, having expressed his gratitude. I've got tired of typing 'The Master Chief' or 'The Spartan'. (Listen to me…I sound like a mother watching over her first born…). ", "So in simple translation, we're the large and juicy piece of meat to be fought over by the wolves? "I'm so sorry John. Caitlin then faced the Spartan who offered his hand to help her up, she nodded and took the offer and was soon on her feet though she winched at the pain on her side as the results of her interrogation had not been healed all that much. Her men were crushed in seconds. She then was about to ask for a weapon, but the Spartan beat her to it as he removed a Terminator Assault Rifle he had pilfered some the corpse of one of the Batarians. The M7A PDWS Magnum also used the Gauss technology but used a much smaller coil system than the other weapons and as such was not as powered as they were. He however took a chance and spoke to her once more. "Yes, there are at least some supply pods left as well as three functional armories in the ship, not much I'll admit, but it's better than using sticks ad stones right?". And it's takes a lot of materials to make them. But that's how I view it. She might not have access to her own self destruct mode, but she was more than ready to do what she could to end herself if she ever lost it. I can't take chances. He puts on his helmet and receives a battle rifle from the Forerunners. " Once the trigger is pulled, it immediately discards the shell while unleashing either of the two rounds and unleashing twice the amounts of pellets due to the now present lack of gun powder. She powered herself up and began to use her scanners to get a more precise reading. But, you would try, wouldn't you? No spoilers for the story line beyond the outcome of this single fight. Once Jane awakened to find the colony miraculously saved and the N7 squad wiping the rest of the Batarians out, she accepted grudgingly a commendation for the N7 program. Damn you Forerunner! The Master Chief turned his attention to scan the room. The Batarians managed to kill one of them and badly wounded the other before capturing us and taking our commander to interrogate her…or worse. The Council not only didn't believe; they wouldn't even listen to her. Before he could finish his words, the Spartan moved his arm and before the Batarian could react, a massive golden yellow arm came from the armored being's raised hand and grabbed his extended arm in a grip that would make even a Krogan wince. And the Fourth but very limited Tier is the Light Based Weapons made from Forerunner technology. It was an eagle with wings outstretched over a globe with a long strip with the initials UNSC on it, he looked it over and saw that the ship had a Designation number and a name, it was FFG-201 Forward Unto Dawn. "Altor, what are my armor's specifications? "JOHN!" She knew that there was always a chance that the others in UNSC High Command were going to say that she was Rampant and compromised, and in truth she came very damn close to that as well, but John took the risk and it paid off big time. These were then supplemented with weapons that replicated the appearance of the UNSC line of weaponry but were mostly Directed Energy Weapons, using Lasers, Plasma, and Light based Beam weaponry as well as Gauss Weapons due to Cortana using the data concerning the old M99 Gauss Rifle used in the past by the UNSC as well as the M68 Gauss Cannon. He was going to have to guess that these must be the Asari that Alice mentioned to him. She then cried out, startling John as the way she cried out was loud enough to cause him pain while her cries also reverberated through the MJOLNIR's system and caused the Spartan's HUD to malfunction and show her crying out and writhing in pain before him as well as her once blue form being covered in angry and painful red before his eyes. All that led to the two being in the bridge to try and make some level of sense as to what had happened and what was going on. It was modified through the Composer, and then by me while you were unconscious.". "Cortana, do you recognize the other Sentinels? As she finished, Jane walked over to her armor. How the heck is that even possible? 'Destroy him!' "Now that was quick, how much time passed in real space Cortana? It'll reattach for you." He limped out the door, toward the cockpit. It is armed with a small Slipspace container to store supplies and weapons…a…rucksack if you will call it as such, but uses Slipspace to store the things needed in battle. Where Cortana was cool and collected, Altor felt like a warm glow. We have recreated all of the weapons you are familiar with John. She always made sure her equipment ran properly, and she did not hesitate to bring whatever arms she thought could be of use to the mission. ", "That Combat Skin belonged to the leader of my maker's forces, his name was Antarius Didact, it was he commanded the Forerunner in the final last stand with the Flood and the rampant Mendicant Bias. The absurdity of it all, that she was being thrown to the wolves so that humanity and the Council might know more. Like she was waiting for something. York: what director. In the end, the Master Chief did kill them. The Spartan replied to that, relieved that this alien female was able to speak the human language, but that still left him with another question and that was how did she learn the language as well. "Ah, this is the world of my makers, not one of their colonies by any standard, but the very heart of their once powerful empire.". This further reinforced to him that there was something utterly wrong here. The Spartan stood firm. He met one of the Huragok as it looked at him and made several noises in greeting and moved away. There's so much room in there and all the processing system are worth the time and effort to give me this, at least my Avatar is still very much intact and the same as before, how about you, how are you doing? He also had to give credit to the Forerunners for having built such a city in itself. F. … The Spartan took it and allowed Cortana's avatar to touch the pad, allowing the A.I to take in the coordinates. Shepard bristled, Hackett sacrificed a fleet for me, I have to return the favor. He reluctantly did so and thankfully managed to salvage a set of UNSC Marine issued clothes, namely a tank top, pants, and boot from the Dawn since even though he knew that he was the only living human the planet, it was considered indecent to be moving around with no clothes on. As with all Spartans, John was regarded by the Covenant as a "Demon". Saren was a high ranking Spectre since he got results and at times, that was more important to the Council, added to the fact that as a Spectre, Saren was untouchable when it came to his records. She surprised him when her avatar leaned forward and hugged him. But his hands… The familiar green armor no longer surrounded his form. He looked out the viewing port to see the rest of the city there and he couldn't help but look at the facility where Cortana and Tentative were working. "I hold no illusions or beliefs that I should preserve this world at any cost Reclaimer. Pieces of equipment and walls were seared into the ground beneath him. She can't be gone. John looked at the floating unit, recalling how Guilty Spark had first appeared and how it turned out between him and the A.I in the end. They were targets, neutralizing them would mean the war would end. the Composer relayed to the new ancilla. Shepard moved on to pick up her M-96 Mattock, the brown and grey weapon scratched from use. The Spartan quickly began to hack into the base's overall floor plan using his link into the computer system. Whatever's powering it's kinetic barriers makes our own E-zero engine look like a weak battery pack!". The last surviving Batarian, and no doubt the commanding officer of this group was raving mad while holding his prisoner, the same woman who had sent the distress call, she had a number of cuts and bruises on her as the Spartan could see. This was the first and actually hardest to detect stage of Rampancy. The Flood had evolved too fast and had been able to counter their tactics, as well as outnumbering the Forerunners, even with the use of the Sentinels and their technological prowess, the actions that they had undertaken prior to facing the Flood had severely weakened the Forerunner and the very size of their empire worked against them. the voice perked up. They killed it, eventually, with an armored convoy. How… organic. I have to stop the Reapers. The A.I could scarcely believe what she was now witness to…this was not a handful of buildings or one massive facility or even a number of facilities that were connected to one another, this was the very heart of the Forerunner Empire, their crown jewel and the cradle of their civilization. The sky was black, with stars twinkling in the sky, the ground a gray rock. Dr. Kenson recently reported that she found evidence of an imminent Reaper invasion." What are they doing here this far out in the galaxy?". Master Chief was a rank in the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic. Its only barrier was that the human ancilla had installed anti-hacking software. What happened?". John was at a loss. However, there were a trio of the Batarians that caught the eye and ire of the Asari as she took them down in a very painful fashion. The process was not too long even with the damage to the Dawn and soon she looked at his vital signs and found them to be responding nicely to recovery as she also managed to remotely access the MJOLNIR and have a small injection of wake up stimulants given to John. These units would help maintain the ship in the absence of a working crew and this was a good thing for John as the idea of repairing a Ship like this was certainly not in his area of expertise. Lastly, it produced two hexagonal drones that hovered over his shoulders, to be deployed when needed or to be used for a hasty retreat. "Oh, it's right here." And the fact that he had willingly walked into the ruins of High Charity to save her since he promised to come back for her made her even happier to know that he was there. The fact that the dawn did not have a working M99 Gauss Rifle was the reason that they redesigned the original Sniper Rifle instead of making more M99 Gauss Rifles. But with the tie Guilty Spark ignored his own protocols to contain and destroy the Flood even with an incomplete or damaged yet still functional Halo Ring to preserve what he thought was 'his', in this case, the Halo Ring. And the last was a heavy Machine Gun which was made to be a light portable weapon for the Master Chief to carry. But he had continued, persevered, and now he would give his life for Earth. A man, a HERO, had given everything for humanity. She inquired. Before him was a massive sphere of energy, the outer edges had a deep blue glow to it and there was a void of pure black that took in all light. Hackett spoke. However, the Ancilla was damaged, the nuke having destroyed most of its function. And for close combat, the ship was armed with several Laser Turrets, some Gauss Point Defense Guns, and four Sentinel Beam Turrets designed for fighting in such combat conditions. Einchy. And then showed her to the Terminus System, and all the humans that were disappearing. Research on the Forerunner shield world of Onyx, now called Trevelyan, has cultivated numerous findings for the Office of Naval Intelligence. John thought it all over and saw that he didn't have much in terms of options, even with all his knowledge, saving an A.I from Rampancy was something he had only faint knowledge of. ", Cortana thought it over and replied to that, "You've got a point, we might as well try to be diplomatic and make our appearance to the galaxy we landed in. The Sentinels gingerly lowered the ship to the platform and soon began to power down and move away, this left John and Cortana alone as the other Sentinels left the area. However the Spartan was going to worry about those details for a better time and once they got back to UNSC held territory. The Spartan nodded mentally to Cortana and then spoke to the Monitor. It looks female to me from here, and it certainly has a human body shape and form. The ship buckled a bit and that buckling grew in intensity but the Forerunner construction was more than enough to withstand it, however John was not going to risk the ship anymore and neither was Cortana as they soon began to move out of Slipspace and into normal space with both of them hoping that they were going to get out alive and with this new ship of theirs to be relatively intact. After 18 grueling hours, the Alliance reinforcements arrived, and Jane was finally able to collapse. The ancilla had designed and fabricated all of the Promethean soldiers that the Didact used for his war against the Flood. It is comparable to the Mjolnir Armor but far more advanced. He inserted the chip back into his head. ", "That's true, but there is a silver lining to that, those same governments and organizations will do whatever they can to keep the others from getting us and will do whatever they can to make sure that nothing happens to us directly since they don't want to lose such a resource to their rivals. General Cernotenant, the commander of all Forerunner forces, wearing a blue armor, clearly with energy shielding. I, Cortana! Shepard sighed, "It's nothing, just… jitters.". A repost from my story on Fanfiction.net-Cortana awakens to a strange mental prison, where she discovers a horrible truth about where she is and who is betraying the master chief. ', "So, that's my only choice." Caitlin raised an eyebrow at that statement and was curious just what this man had in his mind as she spoke to him. These were made in order to balance out the arsenal under the request of Cortana in order to give them more options when dealing with any threats that they might encounter along the way. "No John. Looking back, she marveled that she had never felt more alive in her young life. He moved to the building that was now serving as his…home and sat down and had to admit that the Forerunner did like their comforts when they were not focusing on galactic matters. No training, no new equipment, just a promotion and a mission. The Monitor agreed and suggested leaving it in the same lab where the process was being done. And… well, you know how I am right now. Both would work together in maintaining the Ship and whatever equipment was present in the vessel. All they did was drop dead and she winced every time she heard the undeniable sound of bones being crushed when the Spartan attacked them. He was ready, battered, bruised, and exhausted. However, Rampancy could also appear in a Smart A.I due to circumstances and events that push it in many ways, similar to how a person becomes highly aggressive in a situation that is unexpected or highly stressful. "I think I detected energy pulses about 10 kilometers East. ", (I won't lose you Cortana, you and I have been through more than enough. He then heard her cry out for him in his ears while whimpering in agony as she had no doubt suffered an attack to her programming. Nevertheless, when they asked John what race he was, he said he was human. As the ancilla moved to transform John into a full-blown Promethean, the process suddenly…stopped. And so will it. a voice came from the doorway behind her. He then replied to that. ", John felt panic run through him. It too has a small power plant for the coil system located at the trigger under the housing for the laser pointer system and the same coil system to make the barrel a bit meatier. Imagine if in Halo 4 Chief's armor changed to this when he had the Gen unlock from the Librarian. "He's not kidding Commander; he just tore through the Batarians like they were not even there. The two watched as the Sentinels closed the gap and began to scan the Dawn Two of the regular Sentinels and one Major moved towards the Spartan and the Master Chief aimed his weapon at them, but they didn't fire, they merely scanned him and then began to move around the Ship. Finally, the Didact. However as soon as he was done firing out a barrage, he spotted the incoming data on the pistols and noted no counters for ammunition but some sort of heat gauge. There was a section of the ship that had a small compliment of the Huragok as well as a number of Sentinel Constructors that had their own Sentinel Launcher. In order to ensure that the Flood would never harm other sentient races should they return, the Forerunners had purged the locations of all known planets from their databases, along with other Forerunner colonies and facilities as well as planets capable of supporting life as well as having sufficient conditions for the Flood to grow and evolve. She shook her head, almost like she could hear his thoughts. Commander Jane Alice Shepard could only stare at her incredible military record that lay out on the tablet before her. Please update soon. As she thought that, she chuckled a little bit and decided that she could worry about that later, right now, she needed to rest and also do as much as she could manage to arrange her systems properly and make sure that she would still be able to function well enough until she was needed once more. It was the optimal choice. The Asari raised any eyebrow as it were and smirked a bit before replying. The others appear to be Protector Sentinels, designed to shield other units in battle with some form of defensive shielding, they don't have offensive weapons of their own as far as the files said. ", "Hey, I'll admit I prefer the Autumn, but the Dawn isn't all bad at any rate. One of the most practical has been the discovery of a native armor system utilized by Forerunner Prefects late in their civilization's history. "Cortana…" Master Chief couldn't keep the relief out of his voice. Wide eyes, small freckles. I've actually planned to make my own Halo Mass Effect Crossover story for some time now and I decided that I might as well make the Prologue to it is now in paper and not clogging up my head and causing me to be distracted and lost in my work. That was how Cerberus found her, her dead and rotted body, and brought her back. "All right then, I'll wait and see what happens soon enough.". It also reinforced the shields, to a far higher caliber than before. Cortana, come in!" The MA6A Assault Rifle series was designed to work using Gauss rounds and naturally had specially made magnetic coils in the barrel to fire projectiles at the same speed as a regular MA5C, but with no gun powder and shell casings, the pressing of the trigger actually pushed the bullet into the barrel and the coils did the rest, eliminating the use of gun powder and shells and the bullets were no longer FMJ rounds but solid Titanium with a Tungsten Carbide core tip. He quickly located the shooters and began to unleash his own attacks as laser bolts were fired back in answer to their attacks on him, he was not alone as the Alliance Marine and the Asari Commando also got involved in the fighting as they pinned down a number of the Batarians. John ran forward, slamming his gun into the red one. The Spartan's right hand hesitantly patted her head. 5.00 star(s) 1 ratings Downloads 301 Updated ", Shepard let out a little laugh. The Composer AI would use its enormous memory to take in my excess data, all my rampancy data, and then encode its memory core over mine. Mass Effect shielding works by layering multiple mass effect fields to slow down bullet's considerably. Just under master chief, he always did what he was told without exception. He was not about to take any chances, but he was not going to antagonize this A.I since he was not sure just what this Monitor was armed with. The Lieutenant spoke to her commanding officer once she was close enough. You are after all in a location far beyond the known sector of your universe Reclaimer and there are many dangers. The table was attached to a 10 by 10 floor with a few Forerunner columns sticking out of it. Things like Chief's augmentations and armor were planned for by the Librarian and then filtered down to ordinary people to benefit the rest of humanity. It used a special variant of it's original bullet type which includes a special explosive material inside the bullet which was made from tungsten that is specially made to fracture on impact, retaining the effectiveness of the original model. As if Zaeed wasn't enough. "Energy usually means civilization, if not, we could use it to try to get home." This is why it lights up where they are shot. It also sports some nasty weapons, shields, and armor so it is a powerhouse of a Frigate in the same way the Master Chief's MJOLNIR, which is now dubbed as the Mark X. Now, in the quiet moment, he reviewed the archive. He moved to the helm and looked at the Citadel as they came closer and was about to ask to have a comm.-channel opened to talk to Udina to show that he had arrived when one of the nearby crew members cried out, this made the man turn to face her as she was looking at the computer she was using.
