Approach the railing with the guy you're holding facing the railing, then pull the 'R' trigger. I only recommend doing this when you know there's nothing below where your knocking the guy off, cause I've done it before, and I can tell you the other guard's suspicions are usually aroused when a guy comes falling down from the floor above, screaming his head off and slamming into the ground.

Another cool thing you can do is when you are crawling along on a pipe, if a guard is walking underneath you, just pull the 'L' trigger and Sam will snap his neck.

Hmmm, maybe video games do desensitize people to violence....

Here's the title for Chapter 15, see if you can analyze it and detect any secret hidden meanings.

Nobody Ever Said Doing Hard Time Was Easy

Some other things I've been mulling over. What do you guys think would be the most likely reaction by the rest of ONI and Section III over the supposed 'banishment' of the Elites/Hunters/Grunts from the Covenant? Are they going to believe the Arbiter? Or will they just go and send out the order that Honor Without Mercy must be destroyed?

Has anyone been wondering exactly where the Prophet of Truth's destination is? We haven't heard from him in awhile, and the last time we did the Forerunner ship was locked on a specific destination heading through Slip Space? Any idea where he's going?

If that was Gravemind who attacked and desimated the Brute fleet awhile back, where do you think he's headed?


Just a few things you guys can mull over while I get the next chapter ready for deployment.


I don't think i'm the only one going "huh?" over the title there Mr. C.

Whatever hidden messages are in there all I can say is, they are hidden for a reason.

My guess is Truth must be heading to some kind of Forerunner installation, perhaps to where the Forerunner were first created maybe? That would be kind of cool, though why he would be going there I have no clue.

I'm thinking ONI will partly believe what the Arbiter says, but not fully, cause idiots like Ackerson are going to try and get them to kill him.

If that was Gravemind, than I'd say he's planning something devious, maybe going to the Covie's home planet, or some other destination where he can wreck havok.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

all tough questions. i dont know about ONIs reaction but i think Truth and Gravemind are either heading for Earth or another halo. i'll leave it up to you. on a splinter cell note i dont see why we need to stop talking about it. sure we come here to read Mr_Clark's stories but that doesn't mean we can talk about other things. And i've found an unrealistic AI in the game. sure it's tiny but its fun to see that the AI isn't perfect. If you grab the captain in the second level without the first mate looking and bring him into a dark corner the first mate will say what was that, come to where the captain was, look at his hat lying on the floor and say "i guess its nothing". I guess he doesn't like the captain

Gravemind: I think you should make the actual Gravemind be dead but the thing that attacked the brutes to be another one of him, foreshadowing even more of them.

Prophet of Truth: Don't give a **** about his stupid ass.

ONI: Believe the elites! Believe the elites!

"It's like a cake filled with pies." -Pete "Mango" Parsons

Seventh Column Contests

well first thing first. i do believe that ONI will believe the Elites just because they need all the help they can get. I hope gravemind is NOT dead just because i want him to come in later and screw up everything, then he should die by the hand of the sarg.I think the prophet of Truth is prob going to some other instalation, or maybe the ARK is not at Earth.

And I doubt that ONI will send order to the MAC Stations that Honor without Mercy
should be destroyed: all that Covenant technology...

Regarding the fight between Johnson and Gravemind, I thought a better way of killing him would have been to chuck his Fuel Rod Cannon into the space where he was pulling himself together (so it would be inside him) and then shoot at it madly. Imagine the explosion...

Regarding the title, I think the Elites/Hunters/Grunts will be detained by ONI, pending a full investigation of the Honour Without Mercy, and heated discussions regarding the Arbiter's little chat with them.

And about AI, what about the turning glitch in Halo 2? That was a MAJOR screw-up.

Oh, and when the HELL are we gonna get some new Avatars around here? When was the last time we got some new ones anyway? I've been here since about October 2004 and they still don't have any new ones.

And why can't non-Live users display their symbol?

Hey There! I actually write a column for a magazine and I think you have a real talent for writing, I'll bet you're an ace at English subjects and you have a brilliant way with words.

P.S I really liked reading your FanFic and hope you keep em coming!!!

Thanks for the help again Mr. Clark. Your chapter sounds like it is going to be a very interesting chapter.

The lifeless body of First Name Kinlumee slumped to the ground


Heh heh. See what happens when you don't bother editing. I didn't notice this until one of my reviewers on fanfiction.net pointed it out.

....wow, way to blow the mood there Clarky. I've edited it now, but still, I'm starting to get more and more evidence towards my wanting to become a full-time editor, and not just a spell-check clicker.

I'm trying to get around to updating my stuff in all the groups today, and this time I mean it, and then I have to go check out everybodies stuff. If you've been sending me PM's and stuff and I haven't replied yet, don't think of me as a jerk just yet. I just haven't had the chance. I'll be able to do it this week, I'm sure of it.

What army of brutes? I think I missed something...

OOOOH Now I remember, the ships that where patroling High Charity after the flood took it over. The one crashed into the other and all the brutes got killed by flood and...oooh. Ok, sorry, LoL.

If you would be willing to send me the story before you release it and have me look it over, I wouldn't mind editing it for you. I'm a wiz when it comes to noticing grammatical errors. I'm not that good at finding spelling mistakes, but hey, that's what spellcheckers are for. Right?

you know, we dont really know how long each of the covenant ages are so we really cant dispute over whether the Arbiters father is indeed kinlumee, or forlumee, or naslum.
no way of knowing, just have to assume.

When it comes to ONI they are gonna be suspicious. my thoery is that they are gonna impound Honour without mercy and strip it for technology and give the cheif/arbiter/hunters/grunts new ship to find where the hell that forerunner ship went. oh and gravemind is heading for truth and truth is heading for another installation.

i heard that there were differences in ps2 and xbox versions of chaos theory? what were they? i dont care cos i am getting xbox version anyway

roll on chapter 15......

There differences are thus:


Live > PS2's crap online system
Xbox Graphics > PS2 Graphics (CT's main attraction is its visuals).


Oh, and Xbox > PS2. ;)


edit: -blam-. wtf? I'm not 5 years old thx.

Nobody Ever Said Doing Hard Time Was Easy

Hmmm......No idea. Well, ok, I'll throw out something. The only thing that seems to stick out about it to me would be the word "Time". Maybe has something to do with the crystal that John shot on the Forerunner ship?
Some other things I've been mulling over. What do you guys think would be the most likely reaction by the rest of ONI and Section III over the supposed 'banishment' of the Elites/Hunters/Grunts from the Covenant? Are they going to believe the Arbiter? Or will they just go and send out the order that Honor Without Mercy must be destroyed?
I think that a shaky alliance will be formed due to the fact the humans are on the verge of extinction. However, I can also see sabotage behind the scenes as well.
Has anyone been wondering exactly where the Prophet of Truth's destination is? We haven't heard from him in awhile, and the last time we did the Forerunner ship was locked on a specific destination heading through Slip Space? Any idea where he's going?
Another Halo? Reinforcements? The ark, if it's not Earth? I have no idea.
If that was Gravemind who attacked and decimated the Brute fleet awhile back, where do you think he's headed?

I'll take a stab and say the brute homeworld. The only reason I say this is a quote from Gravemind in chapter 11. And I quote, "“Know that the rest of your ferine race shall join you in death soon, beast.” Other than that I have no idea. - LE

Great idea MR_Clark adding all these ages adds real depth into the story!
