STOP ASSAULT 2012

Who is Assault? Assault is a mod in the Bungie.net brony group. And what started out with good intentions, viciously spiraled down into a power hungry tyrant locking thread after thread after thread to quell all opposition to his tyrannical rule. Did I mention he is a tyrant?

What happens in Thursday War: Kilo-Five does bugger all, Arbiter gets shown how much his people hate him, ONI are dicks and Jul 'Mdama essentially becomes the new Prophet of Truth in terms of delusion.

I like to pretend any book released during 343i's takeover as non-canon. Same goes for Halo 4.

I end up enjoying it a bit more that way.

It was by far the worst Halo novel.

Especially...

*SPOILER WARNING*

...the part where ONI decides to attack the Arbiter's fleet. What. The. Hell.

WHAT THE HELL HAS KAREN TRAVISS DONE TO ONI

From Halopedia:

Many viewed her as the true power operating behind the UNSC's military government. This could most clearly be seen by her initiative to destabilize Elite society on Sangheilios. This project was carried out despite the fact that Lord Admiral Hood, the de facto head of the UNSC during the final days of the war, was conducting high level peace negotiations with the Arbiter. Parangosky doubted that a single Elite, no matter how noble, could fully restrain Covenant splinter factions from waging war against humanity. Her world view was explained by her protege Serin Osman as, "It doesn't matter what your enemy's intentions are, only their capabilities."

Yep.

The only way Traviss can possibly redeem herself at this point is to have Parangosky die a protracted and painful death in her next book and then promptly stop writing for the franchise.

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

You know what would be a great death for parangosky?
Getting composed.
Or better yet, Mauled to death by Jul 'Mdama

Personally hoping Serin Osman realizes what a horrible person she is and how she has been manipulated for years and snaps her neck.
