Description
Something has been lurking around the outskirts of the solar system lately...
Disclaimer: No, the Covenant is not ingame, we have plans to bring some of them ingame soon. The models you see will not be in the mod. Hang in there.
"Sir unknown enemy contacts."
"Just rebels, send a communication to h.q."
"Roger that sir... wait a second! We're receiving a message!"
Regular Covie invasion message.
"Send an S.O.S."
"What's your plan sir?"
"We need to broadcast a full report and make sure that the civilians can evacuate,It's been an honor!"
After reviving the report, Anchor 99 registered an explosion and lost contact with ship. The civilians were evacuated from the Saturn colony and Anchor 99 prepared for an epic battle!
Anchor 99?Its Anchor 9!
no anchor 9 in over reach not saturn so 99 might be right
I think it's cute to watch Halo fans argue about that stuff. =P
Now, if we were arguing about how many Babylon stations there were...
1- got blown up by terroists
2-also got blown up by terroitse (they rally need to up there secruity;/)
3-god knows
4-made out of the left overs of 1 and 2 ...then got stuck in a spacuial anomaly
5-orbiting around happily...tellt he shadows come along....then the earth civl war....dam why dotn they jsut change there name they really seem to bring bad luck ;/
Slipspace Rupture detected
Epic!
I used to fight the Covenant around Jupiter, then I took an arrow in the knee.
that joke is so old
4 weeks old already?
OFF TO MILITARY SCHOOL WITH THE REST OF YE!
Your avatar epitomizes my reaction to that joke
Another whisper, sir, near Io. We have probes en route.
The Gallilean moons are colonized, though.
Its a Halo 2 quote lol.
oops forgot the quotation marks :L
but Cas943 is right Cortana said those words in Halo 2 just before Regret's fleet dropped out just of Cairo's battle cluster :)
Which is weird, because as I said, the Gallilean Moons are colonized. :P
In fact, I think it was the CQC armor that was manufactured on Ganymede?
why is it odd? I thought those "whispers" were a prelude to regret's iminent arrival, which would also mean these "whispers" would probably be in slipspace.
Yeah, i think it's whispers of signals that are either out of the ordinary for human communications and that stand out from background noise, or signals detected in Slipspace.
Theoretically, it could just be a feint signal or radiation given off when slipspace is opened, that echos throughout slipspace in the immediate area. Like each jump gives off a very weak ripple inside of slipspace.
^yeah what he said:)^
No I meant why would you send a probe when four of Jupiter's moons are colonized and have substantial military technology on each of them.
Slipspace probes described in FoR? From the sounds of it, the Covenant slipspaced into the system based on the rough co-ordinates they had gotten from artifacts, and then made multiple successive jumps to refine the location down to Earth, so they'd literally be appearing in real space just long enough for them to make a second jump, probably too short a time for local imaging to get a look at them.
There are several theories that the covenant drives work by making multiple rapid short jumps, dropping into normal space for milliseconds and jumping again and that it's a contributing factor to their accuracy.
