Six: When I died, our largest fortress world fell after the Covenant threw a fleet bigger than any we'd yet faced at it. Earth's within a stone's throw.
I did all I could, but... sometimes everything isn't enough.

But as far as I'm concerned? I'm homeless. The Covenant won.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Six: Earth's the last major world we have. Reach was where most of our fleet elements were concentrated, and while it looked like we were beating off the Covenant at first, when they actually bothered to try they sent in a massive swarm of ships that effortlessly overwhelmed our orbital defenses within a few hours.
Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe that AI I got off-planet managed to help somebody pull a miracle out of their ass. But given how absolutely catastrophic Reach was, I wouldn't bet on it. :/
