To better suit the needs of my movie, I changed the map to Death Island Movie Edition for all of the scenes, and Pillar of Autmn Space Map for the prologue. This should be a bit better for my story, even though it doesn't make sense with the real story very well. I'm eliminating the name of my machinima, which will later be decided. Additionally, I've also taken the time to also write a script:
Unnamed Script
Introduction
When the Covenant captured Captain Keyes, he was on an island in one of Halo’s oceans. Before the Pillar of Autumn crashed, Keyes and a large portion of the Truth and Reconciliation crew had actually escaped on a few pelicans and Dracos. The island that the crew landed on actually had a large portion of the Arbiter’s (before the Arbiter actually became an Arbiter) fleet, called The Fleet of Particular Justice. As for what happens afterward… well you’ll just need to read the script for that.
Script
Prologue: The Pillar of Autumn
{Pelicans and Dracos flying away from ship}
Scene 1: Heated Argument
Keyes: We need to act now!
UNSC Guy #1: NO!!! Do you know what casualties we could have from trying to destroy those… things?!?! They would slaughter us!
Keyes: What would happen if we didn’t do anything? They would break through our pathetic defenses and invade the land we hold! We could risk losing everything, but possibly win, or just act like sitting ducks and not do anything! Which is better?
UNSC Guy #1: I guess… but wha-
Keyes: Shut it, marine! Back to your post!
UNSC Guy #1: Yes sir.
Scene 2: Troop Deployment
{see troops driving around in warthogs and scorpions}
Loudspeaker: All combat personnel, report to your air- deployment posts!
{Camera cuts to Draco cockpit}
Keyes: Systems check.
Flight Crew #1: All systems green.
Flight Crew #2: Boosters ready to operate at 97% efficiency.
Keyes: {ship goes vertically up}
{camera looks at front corner of Draco and pans up as the ship rises}
Scene 3: What’s that?!?!
{Camera shows 2 Elites looking at each other}
Elite: In the sky!
{Camera pans around horizontally, showing the Draco, killing Grunts on the ground}
Keyes: Landing zone cleared!
{camera cuts to marines getting off the Draco}
Scene 4: Captured
{Camera showing marines fighting the Covenant}
Keyes: AARGH!
{Camera cuts to Keyes being surrounded by Elites}
Elite: {steps forward towards Keyes} Are you going to do this the easy way or the hard way?
Keyes: Let me go!
Elite: Are you sure about that? {Shoots Keyes with 2 or 3 plasma rounds}
Keyes: Fine…
Marine: Captain! What should I do?!?!
Keyes: Leave! Get Help!
Marine: Are you su-
Keyes: Yes, god damn it!
END
So now, I think that this is a fairly good script. Agree?
