In the final days of the Human-Covenant War John-117, Thel Vadam, and Sergeant Johnson (who gave his life), managed to activate, and destroy Halo and kill a large amount of the Flood infestation in December, 2552. But the fighting didn't stop there. It lasted up until late March of 2553. I think its safe to assume Truth didn't commit all of the Covenant forces stationed on Earth to the Ark, a lot of them surely stayed behind. So how did the UNSC manage to turn the tides in those last few months? I think it could be a rather cool, and divergent, RP, that could take surprising turns as the UNSC makes their final resistance against the invading Covenant armies with their Separatist allies.
Anyone have any ideas they could contribute? I'm working on a novel of my own right now, but once I am finished, I could take a shot with Microsoft at writing a halo novel. Hey it won't be anywhere near as good as the others, but I'm willing to try!
A cool name I came up with is Atonement.
