Also, you guys might decide to crusify me over some of the events that will take place in this new chapter. Understand though, everything happens for a reason, I do nothing to be cruel, but sometimes death is inevitable.


I wouldnn't crusify you, because if I did, there would be no more story!
(If Chief dies I might change my mind)

Oh Mr_Clark, before I forget.
How do you come up with all of those Sangheili names?
(sorry for double post.)

Hmm, I certainly hope you're not referring to Jan. If so, please read the following and become enlightened:


The scenario with Jan isn't just one of those girl meets boy and they all fall in love. This is far more complex.

The Master Chief is 41 years old, and I am certain the thought of having a family has never occurred to him. That doesn't mean however, that the instinctual nature that the majority of males possess isn't around. John is humanity's protector, and as such, those feelings of the need to shelter those he protects has been transferred to Jan. He looks after her, much in the same way a father would watch out for his daughter.

Instead of protecting an entire species, the Master Chief has a young girl before him, an example of what he's been fighting for, for so long. It wasn't long until he finally saw that if circumstances had been different, he would be almost exactly like Jan.


As for the Sangheili names, I just have a list of all the different separate names that make up the Elite name structure.

Take Lan 'Eranumee for example.

'Lan' is his given name, which he went by until he became an adult. At that time, he received the name 'Eranum. 'Era is an adjectival delineative, which for explanations sake translates to mean "fly" or "flight" depending on what area of the Sangheili culture we're talking about. The 'ee' suffix is simply an addition all Elites are given once entering the Covenant military structure. It signifies them as warriors.

When I first decided to do more than the prologue of this story back in last December, I wrote down a long list of different variations of Elite names I could think of, and as I needed the character names I randomly chose from the list. Sometimes the names do end up having an influence on the character, like 'Eranumee, whose first structure of his name means "fly" or "flight". This obviously influenced me to make him a Seraph fighter pilot.

Now, Mr_C, I wonder how you know that the first structure of Eranumee means 'flight' or 'fly.'
Where did you read that? Or is it just a product of your imagination?

If you did read it somewhere, then I hereby ask you to tell me; where?
Because that sort of info would be extremely helpful.
If you thought it up, that I think that's cool. But if you found it somewhere, it would save me a lot of work if you could tell me where you found that.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately it is nothing more than something conjured up from the dark depths of my imagination.

There is no set definition of the meanings of Elite names, so really you have free reign. Just make it up, and if anyone tries to tell you that you're wrong about it, then they're obviously insane and should be getting mental help.

Do you have a copyright on that quote? Because I'd like to keep that one in mind if anybody says I did something stupid and got the meaning of an Elite-word wrong.

Chapter 17 was awsome, I really thought that was brilliant. Now I have question, why did the spartan 3s die by the flood when they had radiation treatment? The treatment should have immunized the spartan threes like the radiation did sergent johnson. keep me posted.

Erm, it never said they were killed by the flood. It did however state that the ship they were supposedly on got blown up by a super mac station. I dont think they got radiation therapy to prevent that....

I believe he's referring to the video feed Miranda and the other Admirals were shown before the arrival of the Flood at the end of Chapter 17. In it one of the Spartan III's is presumably killed by his former comrades, which were possessed by the Flood.

If you remember from the books, Dr. Halsey describes what happened with Sergeant Johnson and the Boren's Syndrome to be a one in a million happenstance. Colonel Ackerson wasn't really concerned about that however, and was willing to risk the soldier's lives for the slim chance that the Flood infusion would work. Obviously from the last few moments of the S-III's life, it didn't work.

As for the frigate's destruction by one of the MAC guns. *grins mischievously* I don't recall that they were specifically identified on the ship, just that their signals were, and they were 'overlapping'. Take what you can from that.

what do you mean by the signals are 'over-lapping'? does 'over-lapping' in the flood's case mean that everyone aboard that ship is mutating or something?

maybe it means they were fused into one, or gravemind hath absorbed them. it is possible, though you can never tell with Mr. Clark at the helm.

Hang on if they were overlaping does that mean the radiation did work? Some got lucky and are currently fighting there not so lucky teammates? I think so. Why? What is the point of adding a whole new breed of Spartans without anyone actually seeing them. They have more to play in this story yet, me thinks.

my concurrence is yours, i do believe that they will be back, though they are nothing compared to the spartan 2s, because they weren't created by Halsey, and Ackerson doesnt know what the -blam- hes doing, stupid bastard.

Hough Jass:

Don't lean on the CAPS like that.
The story can't be published because Mr_Clark doesn't have a contract with Bungie (does he?)
