Don't give up easily. Make your enemy fight for every victory that they try to get. Be ready for a hard-fought victory.
This simply means that I'll go down swingin'.
Reach quotes:
Disclaimer-this may not be word for word These are my favorite
Campaign:Pillar of Autumn-
Carter:Spartans, you have...a situation.
(Scarab comes into view)
Emile: Mother...we can take it, sir!
Carter: No you can't, not with out help.
Emile: You don't have the firepower...
C: But I have the mass.
pause...
E: Hit em hard, boss.
(Pelican comes in fast)
C: You're on your own Noble, Carter out
Campaign: Long night of Solace-
(in the cave)
After Dot's sitrep-
Jun:(takes off helmet) 48 hours...that's imminent?!?
(Brushes Jorge's shoulder pauldron)Uh-oh, who's your money on this time?
Jorge: Her
Jun: You always pick 'her'
Jge:(looking at Kat and Carter) She's always had him dailed in.
(Same scene, Kat is talking to Carter)
K: That ship's crushing us and were waiting for backup? They'll be backing-up a graveyard.
C:(exasperated)Look, all our nukes are either outsystem or went down with the ships that carried them, you're preaching to the converted.
K: How converted? (sly look at Carter)
C: I know that look Kat.
K: You can say no.
C: No.
K: You don't even want to hear it?
C: (exasperated)Fine, I'll hear it
K: Remember that accident a few years back: colony ship en route to Cygnus, 700 dead?
C: Vaguely... a slipspace drive malfunctioned, right?
K: Actually it worked fine, it was mounted improperly after a service haul out. When it fired, it teleported half the ship to oblivion.
C:(confused)And this is relevant, how?
K:(slyly) A certain Covenant super-carrier could with some assitance suffer the same, unfortunate accident...
C: Kat, even for you that seems...
K: Inspired?
C: Not the word I would use.
(Jun, Jorge, Emile, and Six come in)
Jorge: What's the plan?
C:(looking at Kat) Go on, explain.
K:(grabbing Emile's knife)May I?
E: Don't cut yourself.
(Kat goes into explanation on plan)
K: Plan- destroy Covenant carrier in geosychonous orbit above us. Method- slipspace drive in lieu of the nukes we don't have. Delivery system-us...
(Aside)Jge:(incredulous) This sanctioned, sir?
C: What do you think?
Jge: Oh.
K: Solveable, getting us up there, that and getting our hands on a slipspace drive(gives Emile his knife) Thank you for sharing.
C:(sarcastically)So we have to do is get orbit-capable transport and the single-most expensive piece of equipment made by man?
K: As a soldier in the field I don't have access to those kinds of resources. That being said, a good place to look would be; oh I don't know,(sarcastic)a certain non-existent launch site in the non-existent Sabre program, dismissed by three administrations as preposterous rumor, (Looking at Six) and in which our newest member was certianly never a pilot.
E:You're scary, you know that?
K:(looking at Carter)All we need is the green light from Holland.
C: Good luck with that
K:(pulls out a datapad)You're the one asking him.
(pause)
C:(incredulously)There's no way in hell he'll go for this
My favorite conversations
