All I've got to say is: Amen.
Good. I liked the ending the best. About strength, unity, that kind of thing. And you know, it DOES make me wonder: why are there wars now? It seems just so odd when you take something science fiction, and then compare and contrast it with today.

Brilliant. No spelling mistakes, very inspirational.
"'And that, that is unity." Loved that line.
Well done. |

Code in a first post. Why is it that no other newbs can do it. Not that your really a noob. You already proved that you demand respect. Excellent story. A departure from the Halo norm, which is something that I do with each of my stories. The only thing that could have been possibly wrong was that you wrote: The Covenant. I'm not sure if "the" should be capitalized. MC will no doubt provide the answer.

| Well, I guess it's hard not to be depressing when the Covenant is about to fall upon Earth like a bunch of bricks. |

Good job. Sort of reminded me of the people who used to predict that Y2K would bring us back to the stone age--except your guy made more sense. I love characters that are willing to say truth, even when that truth is unthinkable. Did something inspire this (besides Halo, that is)?

You did good with the code and spelling, grammar etc. but I thought it was depressing. I mean the Humans have a chance to win if they form an 'uneasy alliance'. I hated it!
