EXT FRONT COVENANT CRUISER - The cruiser is venting plasma to space in several places. Dropships flank it, swooping over the bow inspecting damage.
VO First Elite: Report.
VO XO Commander: The fleet has scattered per your orders. The Brutes and the Prophets will find it hard to track us all; We will regroup shortly.
INT COVENANT CRUISER BRIDGE - Elite 1, the First is standing in the centre of the bridge, clad in gold armour. He is watching something on the viewscreen, out of the camera view.
OFFSCREEN XO: Here is the human prisoner, as ordered.
*Model Crewman red is thrown in front of the Elite*
FIRST: So. What do you make of it, human?
*Camera pans to viewscreen, revealing a star encased in a lattice of rings, almost fully surrounding it. The sun pulses, making everyone cover their eyes briefly*
CREWMAN_RED: It- it's a Dyson sphere?
XD: The sun is continually in a state of nova. It's amazing the shielding created is holding all that energy - to think, if one could harness it, we could wield unimaginable power!
FIRST: So, the Heretic was correct. The forerunners were fighting something else - all our religion is wrong!
XO: It's like this is some kind of bad parody - Slipspace distortion detected!
EXT CRUISER: 5 hostile Covenant battleships drop out from behind the Revenge and Accountability, and open fire. Banshees respond etc.
VO FIRST: Forwards! We WILL land on that artifact! We WILL learn the truth! Battle stations!

INT NOVA CONTROL ROOM - A small chamber, with one wall partially crumbled away revealing a large drop into the ocean. There are a number of control panels around.
FIRST: *walks up to the control panel, a blue hologram of a grunt appears*
FIRST: What trickery is this?!
SUB-YAP: Greetings, Arbiter! You are late. I am Sub-Yab, core AI 07 for this Guardian NOVA installation. We must prepare for the forerunner attack!
FIRST: You expect me to help you?!
SUB-YAP: Certainly. Since you are a member of the elite slave race, you are bound to server the Guardians in all manners. We must hurry, one of your ships has already encountered an infection!

EXT COVENANT CRUISER
Bridge: Research Module, this is the Bridge. We've got power fluctuations in your area and the hangar bay. Are you running any tests?
Research Module: Not that I know of bridge, let me check (screaming and beeps are heard in the background which continue through the rest of the transmission)
Bridge: What was that? What's going on down there? Fluctuations spreading to Lower engine Module.
Research Module: Uhh, don't know, give me a sec. We were examining surface material from the alien probe when-
Bridge: What is going on? Now we've got biohazard warnings going off across the lower decks. What have you done?
Research Module: Something's... loose! It's killing us. (at this point the lower decks of the
Revenge and Accountability turn a nasty shade of red) You've got to save the rest of the ship! Jettison the lower decks!
Bridge: Forerunners forgive us! Bridge to all stations: Emergency jettison protocols engaged.
Research Module: CUT US LOOSE!
The research module tumbles away, sparking and screaming. Notice the engine, which has turned virulently red.

BLACK SCREEN
VO FIRST: This parasite, we have codenamed it the Beast. It is a biomechanical abomination, it rips apart any organic matter and uses it as synaptic circutry to subvert our systems. It shreds you apart, and can spread across a ship in less than a minute. Imagine what would happen to a populated world.
NOVA COMMAND CENTRE - The first is facing the BRUTE COMMANDER - a tall hairy brute, disarmed.
FIRST: The forerunners were in a war against these Guardians. The Guardians released the Flood, the Forerunners retaliated with the Beast. The Prophets lied to us.
BRUTE: This is blasphemy. This is madness!!
FIRST: Madness? *pause* THIS IS NOVAAAAAA!!! *kicks brute into the ocean*

EXT SUBVERTED CRUISER
BEAST (voice of many silibant distorted whispers): A hundred galactic cycles ago, the Naggarok launched. We have waited all this time for it to return, but it has failed. Now you come, the slaves of old. We will consume you. We will consume the galaxy.
RADIO XO: This is retarded! None of this even makes sense!
NOVA begins to pulse, and a massive infection beam is emitted, a red crackling beam courscating with white light. Light-years away, a covenant planet is struck, and millions are reduced screaming into individual organs and flensed out to merge with their technologies.
//SCENE MISSING
FIRST: We must destroy NOVA. Before it is too late.
SUB-YAP: *has changed colour from blue to red* Oh, I think not, my dear Arbiter. It is far, far too late for your kind.

Unlike all the idiots on this forums who think their all cool insulting things that they didn't even READ *cough, obi cough*. I wouldn't call your writing perfect, hell I wouldn't call mine perfect either, but you actually have some material to work with here. There are a few minor point you have to realize though. Do some research on the covenant religion because the elites wouldn't jump to the conclusion that quickly. I say that you should use that, and make a series of it into itself. Kill a heretic, discover what he knew, they become heretics, its a whole series right there. Your going to fast, slow down.
But I'm glad that I've found someone who knows a LITTLE bit about preparing for a series. I swear, spend two minutes on the HaloMovies forums and you'll see what I mean. None of them know how to write, all of them are about 11, thus horrible voice actors, and most of them don't even know what they want to do, they just get post "hEy! LeTs mAK a mOvi!"
