Subject: Regarding the events of Glasslands and The Thursday War...

The Infinity is supporting the Arbiters side in the civil war in the Elite home world, while ONI operatives are arming the other side. Do the two human commanders supporting different factions of the Elites both know what each other are doing, or are they just blindly following orders, not knowing the other is helping one side?

It seems hood knows a bit about what Margret is doing. But between H3 and glass he became her little -blam!-.

Parangosky knows what Hood is doing. It's implied that Hood made an educated guess on what Parangosky is doing but he isn't sure and doesn't seem willing to stop her.

Sounds like that truce will come to an end when the Arbiter finds out about this...

OH HAI THAR!

All you need to know is that everyone in Thursday War is racist except for Hood and Arby.

humans war on the elites proves humanity is the great evil in the galaxy ahah

  • 10.27.2012 10:43 AM PDT

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

Politics... how tiresome

Actually, it is stated in the books that Hood does "know". He just doesn't want it confirmed so he can keep his conscience clean.

On to of that, do you honestly think that any head of country just drops all covert mission's when they go into peace talk? Stop being naive........

Yeah, you're right. Thanks for the info.

I am a monument to all your sins

Kilo-5's mission is not known by Hood and FleetCom. Although Hood probably suspects something.

  • 10.28.2012 2:43 AM PDT

The other guy says otherwise... are you sure?

Flood doesn't know the details of the mission, but he does know/suspect that ONI is doing something "bad". He just doesn't ask.

I said "know" in my previous post because it is more like something he highly suspects, but it hasn't been confirmed to him.

Which is completely and totally out of character for him. If he did know what sort of -blam!- Parangosky was getting up to behind his back...judging by how pissed he was that he found she'd had Fred detained during the Battle of Earth for a pointless set of questioning from one of her stooges, and by how he pretty much threatened to personally and literally throw Ackerson out of the High Command meeting if he didn't shut up and stop bad-mouthing Halsey and the Spartan IIs...Hood would have Parangosky arrested and thrown to rot in a cell faster than she could blink. Turning traitor and insubordination is not tolerated well by Hood.

No one is being naive...and what ONI is doing is not the government's idea or something the UNSC/UEG has sanctioned, they don't want to stir up trouble amongst the Elites...that is Parangosky's own, and she is acting against what the UNSC wishes as she is deliberately trying to start another war. In essence she has declared herself a traitor to the UNSC and her own government. There is a difference between still gathering intelligence or having spies amongst whoever you're trying to have peace with...and actively sabotaging peace efforts, which is what ONI is doing.

The UEG has to authorize everything ONI does. They authorized the Spartan program for example despite the obivous "moral" issues with. They authorized it because it made sense. Right now, it makes sense to buy Humanity as much time as possible to rebuild. Keeping the Elites busy in a civil war buys Humanity that time. No government has clean hands. Ever. Never in history has there been a "clean" government. All government hold secrets, all of them.

UEG just got the power back. During the war the UNSC had all the power. UEG has nothing to do with anything the UNSC or ONI does right now. ONI is just retarded now. They do what they want, when they want and no one tries to stop them.

Too late for that. In Kilo-Five both Hood and Arby are just two retards who have no power over anything.

Also, in glasslands Parangosky specifically states she is going AGAINST the wishes of the UNSC and/or UEG.

In Thursday War Osman pauses, thinking about if she can stand to ACTIVELY fire against friendly forces against the goals of Lord hood.
