About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.
But really am sweet at heart. =)
Chapter 1
UNSC Point of No Return
October 8th 2562.
In far orbit around 2nd moon of Sangheilios
The door to "Odin's Eye" whispered open. This secure room had been the backdrop for the planning of dozens of operations that had changed the war. Now it was being used again.
Vice Admiral Ned Rich: The replacement for the frail Parangosky entered first. Followed by Rear Admiral Gibson. Then two strangers to the room entered.
Fleet Master Toro Aldvan'ee: Commander of all Sangheili ground forces. Followed by Spec Ops Field Master Se'rah, Toren'am. The only female Sangheili to hold such a position.
Finally. The man who had paraded these unsung heroes in the space. Lieutenant Commander Daniel Ackerson: Son of the late Colonel. He spoke first.
"Admirals."The two Sangheili looked oddly at him."And Field Masters, Thank you for agreeing to meet with me."he finished nervously.
Gibson spoke up first,"Let's get down to business Commander, why have you called us here?"
"Sir,"Ackerson began his presentation on the holographic monitors around the room."As you people know, we are in terrible ground side warfare with the Covenant Remnant on more than 5 planets. They also continue to produce ships, and while the latter can be destroyed relatively easily by new weaponry. The sheer numbers are over whelming. Also, public opinion between the new Sangheili-Human Alliance hasn't been as high as projected. Both species think it is a waste. Some even think war should continue."
"I'll agree with that,"commented Rich,"This bloody fighting is getting out of hand. Hell, we have more MPs on these damn trading hubs than in the front!"
"And what idea do you have Commander, that could turn the scales?" Asked Toren'am.
"I believe that the Admirals passed the problem about twenty years ago."
Gibson burst out."What the Spartan-III program? That idea was a war crime from the start! How are suicide missions going to raise morale?"
"If you will check page 17 of your document reader Admiral your questions will be answered."Daniel beamed.
"Of course," said Aldan'vee,"A combined co-species unit trained and augmented could boost morale and work together to push out the Brutes."
"Well, I'm for it!"concluded Rich as he took a swill from his whisky.
"As am I."
"Same."
"Agreed."
Replies echoed around the metal space. Gibson told the Commander.
"I'll forward you a list of possible canidates for augmentation, Human and-"he looked to see both the Spec Ops Master and Field Master were gone,"Elites, damn Sangigiwhati is hard to say. Did you have a place picked out for the training?"
"Yes sir I did." he replied.
"Well we'll get you what ever you need, just submit a request and you'll get it."said Gibson as he left the room.
Daniel turned and sat down. Sweat dripping down the back of his uniform. He had done it. His father would have been proud...would he? He turned to the screen and looked at the canidates for Project:Goliath. Over 200:both species.
He switched pages to potential trainers and selected one. Spartan-055:Daniel.
Well that's the 1st real chapter right there. Its choppy I know. but I just wanted to get it up. The beginning of Project Goliath! What is it? Well that would ruin teh surpize
