Interesting plotline, although I do find it a bit difficult to believe why Sangheili scientists would turn humans into various Covenant races.
| Quote: | | Changing humans into Uggnoy, Kig-Yar, Sangheili and Lekgolo. It was absurd but they would make great tools and heroes for each race. |
That sure doesn't make much sense to me, especially since the Covenant races were taught by the Prophets that humans are filthy abhorrations etc etc. Would an Elite really like to see his mortal enemy made into a great tool or hero?
You could also make more use of the code. There were many huge paragraphs with little breathing space. |

Ok, so full points for originality... Although, as Dr Sky Tower points out, it's very unlikely that the Covenant would do something like that.
Anyway, the main problem you had was your writing style. Most of your sentences were too long and devoid of all logical punctuation, i.e.
| Quote: | | Will woke up and got up after the pain from being knocked out set in he had a splitting head ache there was a little ledge with some type of pill and a glass of took a drop on his finger and tasted it water! |
That should be something like:
Will awoke and got up. Then the pain of being knocked out set in and he had a splitting head ache. On a little ledge next to him, there was a some type of pill and a glass of -he took a drop on his finger and tasted it- water!
See the difference? Basically, just aim to make your sentences short and concise. Re-read each one after you write it to ensure that it makes sense.
Hope that's helpful in the future.  |

Wait...this was a redo?
OK, if you can't get the GPS right when you write a story, that's fine. But if you redo it, there should be no GPS problems at all. And there were a few. Quite a few.
Nonetheless, you do have a very original, if improbable, storyline. Full marks for that. |

If you weren't a cocky jerk then you'd realise that he may not have read the initial story, chief. But I'm not here to argue. |
