Angelo: @Lillith Sure your pappy's proud of you.

@Ges I doubt your skull's removable there, partner.

Lilith: I hope so. I was made for fighting but hopefully he doesn't mind that I like making friends, too.

-Six thinks for a second-

Six: You don't want to know. Trust me on that. There's a reason I'm wearing this.

-for a second you swear that you can hear Ges sigh despite his lack of voice box-

-nonetheless he gets up and starts rummaging around the room for a few things-

-Angelo waits patiently, if only because it's not like Ges is leaving anytime soon and he can afford to play along-

-Ges sets up a computer monitor that he's somehow connected to himself, then begins playing his memories for Angelo-

-in a nutshell it is 'Ges shows up to stop bad guys, beats them, they retreat, and Ges gets painted to look like the actual villain in the process because of idiots'-

Sandra: "Mmm... well, from where I'm from, there were three major world wars. One that involved a robot invasion in '39, another that lead to World War Three. So I think I can stomach it, unless you're telling me you are some sort of genocidal maniac."

Six: Well. I did say I was wearing this for a reason.

-Six thumps his armor's chestplate-

Six: This is MJOLNIR powered assault armor. It costs as much as a personal yacht to build. I'm wearing this because I am... or, well, was part of a top-secret program of supersoldiers trained from childhood. We exist as a last-ditch attempt to turn the tide of a war that we have been losing for the past thirty years.

An alliance of alien races has been systematically destroying every single human world they can find through their extremely overwhelming advantage in space combat, via numbers, ship size, *and* technology. They are doing this because our existence is an affront to their unifying religion, and so they show zero distinction between military and civilian targets. Their endgoal is human extinction.

We're on parity with ground forces, but all they need to do is get space superiority and send in spec ops teams to destroy our planetary defenses if necessary. After that? Plasma emitters the size of apartment blocks turn cities into glass from orbit. I died on our most heavily fortified world - ten point five light-years from Sol - when the Covenant effortlessly smashed it apart like every single other planet they've ever appeared in orbit over.

So far as I'm aware, the only major world we have left is Earth.

Sandra: "I... yeah. I'm not sure what I can say, but, I do hope that humanity finds a way out of this. We usually do. It is our defining trait after all."

-Sandra sends him an apologetic look-

Sandra: "I don't know how I'll be able to help, but if you do find a way home, I want to help you against them. In any way possible."

Six: I'm trying to put some distance between me and... my past, I suppose.

Not that it's working if I keep talking about it like this every time somebody so much as asks.

I got the package out. But it didn't seem like much more than another smart AI in a tank. It was important to Halsey - and she's smart - but I'm just... not sure if she could do anything at this point.

If anything short of divine intervention would. The vast majority of our force is dead. I don't know how many Spartans are still out there, but I can't imagine many lived through Reach. All we've got now is the Home Fleet and a few unimportant colonies. Cut off from all the burning worlds that could have supplied them.

I appreciate the gesture. But I think it's over.
