Halo Final

A human ship is being chased by a fleet of alien ship full of Covenant. Both come across an amazing work of technology, a ring world of magnificent size. Who do you want to play as? [[Covenant]] [[Humans]]

You are the Covenant. They follow a strict religious code. Praise the ancient technology of the universe and kill those who stand in your way. Your prophets say you are on a wide path to heaven. You are on a Covenant ship on the pursuit of the human ship. You see this great and amazing halo ring. It must be a sign from the Gods that you are doing something right. The prophets had given you orders to protect holy artifacts if you find them. [[Form a search team on the ring to investigate]] [[Attack the Human ship]]

Humanity has been at war with the Covenant for a 20 years as of now. Your ship is underfire from an alien fleet of ships. Plasma bolts strike and shake the entire ship. Your ship, the Pillar of Autumn vibrates in three successive bursts. The Autumn lauches burst of MAC rounds made of tungsten. MAC stands for Magnetic Acceloration Cannon, it shoots tungestun rods a near light speed. The MAC is the only way your ship can defend itself from larger Covenant ships. The ship also has small guns along it's side to deal with smaller boarding craft. Worried soldiers run around the ship firing their rifles. The Covenant are invading the ship. [[Defend the Ship<-Ask the captain what to do and escape.]] [[Steer the Ship]]

You go to the captian of the Autumn and ask for your orders. { (live: 2s)[ (stop:) He says, "Chief take your AI Cortana and get off this ship." ] } { (live: 5s)[ (stop:) You say, "Do you plan to go down with the ship?" ] } { (live: 8s)[ (stop:) "Yes, I am the captain and I plan to go down fighting." ] } { (live: 10s)[ (stop:) [["Here's my Weapon son, I don't keep it loaded"]] ] } (set: $status to "healthy")

As the Captain you steer the ship. You are going to fight until you cannot fight anymore. The Master Chief come into bridge and you hand him your weapon. You make sure to tell him you do not keep it loaded. You also give him the ship board Ai, Cortana, to protect. You are Captain Keyes. What do you do to protect the ship? [[Try and take down a few Covenant ship]] (set: $autumn to "ok")

You take his weapon and go on the move.There are covenant soldiers on the ship that must be dealt with. [[Search for Ammo]] [[Find another weapon]]

You find Magnum ammo and you now how plenty of ammunition to blast away the stronger Covenant baddies. (set: $weapon to "Magnum") [[Continue on]]

Your search for a loaded weapon. You find an assault rifle. This a more of a crowd control weapon that is better for the smaller aliens. (set: $weapon to "Rifle") [[Continue on]]

You come across a group of three small aliens. They are about half your size and they are breathing through tanks on their backs. (if: $weapon is "Magnum") [[Shoot the three aliens in the head.]] (if: $weapon is "Rifle")[[Fill them with Lead]]

You are quick and precise with a still huge supply of ammunition. The Magnum was an excellent choice. [[Continue on <- Continue on 2]]

Unfortunetly the Rifle uses more ammunition. You are left with five more clips for your rifle. You took extra time to take care of the aliens and search for another weapon. More aliens come to dispach of you. Two tall aliens known as elites in energy shielding come to you. [[Pick up a plasma pistol and shoot]] [[Use your rifle]]

(set: $2ndweapon to "plasma pistol") You take the second weapon and charge it up to blast both elites with a plasma bolt. It removes their sheild easily, and then you use a few rifle bullets to finish them off. [[Continue on <- Continue on 2]]

You use an entire two clips of your limited five. You take care of the aliens, but now you only have three clips of ammunition. [[Continue on <- Continue on 2]]

You come to a room full of chaos. Marines are fighting against an oncoming alien force. [[Help the Marines]] [[Rush to escape]]

You cannot let your fellow soldiers fight alone so you fight. (if: $weapon is "Magnum") [[You are able to easily take out the enemy group invading the mess hall!]] (if: $weapon is "Rifle")[[You take out all the enemies with the loss of a single soldier and you run out of ammunition.]] (if: $2ndweapon is "plasma pistol") [[You found the quickest way to take out all the enemies. Taking out the shields of the aliens then shooting them is quick.]]

You have an expensive AI that you cannot let get into enemy hands. If they were to learn how to make AI humanity might not stand a chance. You run past the aliens in the doorway. As you run past one tries to stop you. [[Tackle it]] [[Try and run past]]

You are able to easily take out the enemy group invading the mess hall! Ammunition is not an issue with the Magnum [[Move toward the exit]]

You take out all the enemies with the loss of a single soldier and you run out of ammunition. It seems that your assault rifle alone is not enough. It as ineffective cosing the life of a soldier. You should switch weapons. [[Take the fallen soldier's weapon]] [[Move toward the exit]]

[[Move toward the exit]]

You run past a pod that the aliens used to get into your ship. [[Investigate Pod]] [[Keep going]]

He had a magnum that you can use. (set: $weapon to "Magnum") [[Move toward the exit]]

As you move into the ship that the aliens used to breach the Pillar of Autumn you see an overshield on the floor. You can use this to supercharge your shield to keep you protected. You take the overshield. It may come in handy. (set: $shielded to "shielded") [[Keep going]]

You find yourself in a long hallway. Your side of the hallway has a barricade set up covered in grenades. On the other end of the hall aliens are starting to funnel in. [[Throw some grenades]]

The grenades take out all of the aliens and you stash some away for yourself too. [[Move to the next area of the ship]]

Soldiers are fighting in here too. Covenant are coming in from multiple directions. (if: $weapon is "Magnum") [[You are starting to realize...]] (if: $2ndweapon is "plasma pistol") [[You kill all aliens smoothly]]

As you use your magnum you realize that the shielded foes are a bit harder to take down with the magnum. It is still a good weapon, but you need something to melt the shield. [[Look for a secondary weapon to use]] [[Stick with the handy magnum]]

Your plasma pistol and rifle is a good combo. [[Go to the escape pod room.]]

You find a plasma pistol and a needler The needler shoots pink crystals that move toward enemies. The needles stick into enemies. The plasma pistol shoot green plasma round. It can be charged up to shoot a larger ball of plasma. [[Take plasma pistol]] [[Take needler]]

[[Go to the escape pod room.]]

In this room you see one last escape pod and one alien with a grenade. { (live: 3s)[ (stop:) He throws the grenade at two marines. ] } [[Throw the Marines out of the way]] [[Watch because you do not think you can save them]] (if: $shielded is "shielded") [[You have an overshield so you can jump onto the grenade and survive]]

(set: $2ndweapon to "plasma pistol") This weapon is nice and I do not even have to worry about ammo because most aliens carry one. [[Go to the escape pod room.]]

(set: $2ndweapon to "needle") This weapon is nice and I do not even have to worry about ammo because most aliens carry one. [[Go to the escape pod room.]]

You save the marines, but you get hurt by the grenade. You need to find a medkit to fight at 100% (set: $status to "injured") The soldiers thank you with extreme gratitude. [[Get the on the life boat with the soldiers]]

You watch as the soldiers get blown up. Out of anger you charge the small alien that threw the grenade. You kick him against the wall. It hurts the alien. You then rip of his breathing mask. [[Get the on the life boat with the soldiers]]

You jump on the grenade and it goes off under you. Your shield flicker, but you get up perfectly fine. (set: $shield to "normal") The soldiers stare in awe. "How in the world did you get up uninjured from that grenade" You tell them, "With a Covenant shield! Damn thing is pretty strong" [[Get the on the life boat with the soldiers]]

The drop pod has other soldiers on board and you launch out from the ship. You plan to land on the ring world and figure out what to do from there. As you look back you see the Pillar of Autumn moving towards the ring world too. You think to yourself, "Hopefully there will be survivers..." [[You land on the ring]]

When the escape pod lands on the ring everyone else inside died. Your armor is the only thing that kept you alive. You gather the remaining survivers and group up with the survivers on the ship after it crashed. (either: [[A forest]], [[A desert]])

You take it down to the ground and snap the creatures neck. Grunts and Elites look in your direction. You take the limp creature you killed and use it as a shield. This distraction gives the other marines a chance to shoot the aliens. [[Slip into the maintenance tunnels]] (set: $status1 to "hidden")

The alien shoots you with a few plasma bolts, but your shield absorbs it. You hear the alien make angry noises and it points in your direction. (set: $status1 to "followed") [[Slip into the maintenance tunnels]]

You see a grunt walking in this tunnel, but it doesn't see you. [[Shoot the grunt]] [[Steathily take it out]]

You shoot it, but you do not know if you alerted the others. (set: $status1 to "followed") [[Keep moving through the tunnels]]

You sneak up behind it and punch it in the back of the head. [[Keep moving through the tunnels]]

(if: $status1 is "followed")[[You get attacked by a Covenant group from behind.]] (if: $status1 is "hidden")[[Exit the tunnel]]

They get the jump on you and you get shot up. (set: $status to "injured") (if: $weapon is "Magnum") [[Kill the aliens no problem.]] (if: $weapon is "Rifle")[[You use two clips of ammo]] (if: $2ndweapon is "plasma pistol") [[You kill the aliens fast]]

You find the exit. Outside the tunnel you see you are behind a grunt who is reaching for a grenade. [[Stop him]]

The magnum is a strong weapon, but it takes a few extra shots to kill shielded foes. [[Exit the tunnel]]

The assault rifle uses a lot of ammo to kill aliens. You think you should probably switch to a different weapon once you get to saftey. [[Exit the tunnel]]

You take down the shields of the enemies with your plasma pistol and finish them off with your rifle. [[Exit the tunnel]]

You are able to pull your weapon up and eliminate the grunt. (if: $status is "healthy") [[You kill him before he can even touch his grenades]] (if: $status is "injured")[[His body explodes because he did get a chance to activate the grenade. If you were not ambushed you probably would of had time to stop the explosion. A marine is wounded by the explosion, but he will not die.]]

[[Get the on the life boat with the soldiers]]

{ (live: 2s)[ (stop:) You prepare the ship to fire the three round burst MAC gun. ] } { (live: 5s)[ (stop:) Pick a ship to target [[Shoot one of the two Destroyer Class ships.]] [[Shoot at one of the 5 Support ships]] [[Target the capital Super Carrier ship]] ] } (set: $destroyerships to "2" ) (set: $supportships to "5" ) (set: $capitalship to "Untouched" )

Destroyer Class ships are a good choice. These are the main attacking ships of the Covenant. Although most Covenant ships can take down a human ship. The MAC gun fires and the first two bolts take down the powerful energy shielding. The last one finds it way in the front of the Covenant ship and it seems to back off. [[Target the capital Super Carrier ship]] [[Shoot at one of the 5 Support ships]] [[Focus Fire->Keep attacking the destroyers]]

These ships are mainly focused on deploying Covenant troops and vehicles. They are focused on combat, but they do have plasma cannons to bombard your ship from the back lines as artillery. The first Tungeston rod destroys the shields and the other two rip through the ship destroying it. (set: $supportships to "4" ) [[Shoot one of the two Destroyer Class ships.]] [[Target the capital Super Carrier ship]] [[Keep attacking the support ships<-Focus Fire]]

This ship is humongus compared to all the other ships. It is probably where the leader is. If you can slow this ship down even a little it will help in the long run. As you fire the MAC gun at the ship it takes all three of your rounds to take down the shield. [[Shoot at one of the 5 Support ships]] [[Shoot one of the two Destroyer Class ships.]] [[Focus Fire]]

While charging up to shoot the capital ship a destroyer ship starts to move in front of the capital ship. You fire again. The first rod in the burst sneaks it way through and hits the shieldless capital ship. The other two rods are absorbed by the destoryer leaving it shield less. (set: $capitalship to "80% damaged" ) (set: $destroyerships to "Shieldless") The other destroyer shoots a shot at you. [[Evasive Manuevers]] [[Take the hit and fire more]]

You charge up a round and take down the retreating destroyer class ship. (set: $destroyerships to "1" ) The other destroy fires at your ship. [[Evasive Manuevers]] [[Take the hit and fire more]]

You charge up and take out another support ship. (set: $supportships to "3" ) They fire back from the rear line. [[Evasive Manuevers]] [[Take the hit and fire more]]

You are able to avoid the attacks this time. You do not know if you can pull it off again. (set: $dodges to "0") Who will you attack? [[Target Capital]] [[Target Destroyer]] [[Target Support]]

The plasma bolts land on your ship. The outside metal plating is at 20%. It is most likely possible to survive another salvo without endangering the ship. (set: $autumnarmor to "20%") (set: $dodges to "1") [[Target Destroyer]] [[Target Capital]] [[Target Support]]

It is hidden behind destroyer so you must now attack the destroyer before hitting the Capital ship. [[Target Destroyer]]

You take out one of the support ships. They fire a salvo at you. (if: $dodges is "1") [[Dodge the attack]] (if: $dodges to "0") [[Take Damage]]

(if: $destroyerships is "2")[[Attack the Destroyer]] (if: $destroyerships is "Shieldless") [[Finish the destroyer]] (if: $destroyerships is "1") [[Attack the Last Destroyer]]

You take out the most threatening ship you can see. Now you can see the Capital ship. The support ships fire another salvo of plasma and the Capital ship shoots a plasma beam at your ship. (if: $dodges is "1") [[Dodge the attack]] (if: $dodges is "0") [[Take Damage]]

You damage the last destroyer and it backs off to recharge it's shields. A salvo of plasma flies from the support ships. (if: $dodges is "1") [[Dodge the attack]] (if: $dodges to "0") [[Take Damage]] (set: $destroyer1 to "shieldless")

You are able to avoid the attacks this time. You do not know if you can pull it off again. (set: $autumnarmor to "20%") (set: $dodges to "0") [[Attack another ship]]

(set: $autumnarmor to "0%") The Pillar of Autumn is heavily damaged. Taking another shot may damage an important part of the ship. [[Land on the Ring]] [[Risk fighting]]

You tried your best to go down fighting. Now it is time to land this thing. You search for a decent place to land. [[A desert]] [[A forest]]

[[Target Support.]] (if: $destroyer1 is "shieldless") [[Riskily Finish it off]]

[[Target Support.]] (if: $destroyer1 is "shieldless") [[Finish it off]]

The ship lands in the desert and that is where you set up base. You are out in the open so a the Covenant attack. [[Defend the base]]

Your ship lands in the forest and you decide to build your base there. [[No one is able to find the base because it is in the forest.]]

(set: $destroyerships to "0") You took out all the destroyers, but the Capital ship fires a beam at your engines. (set: $autumnarmor to "0%") The beam destroys all the armor that is in the way. Another shot from the Capital ship and you are going down [[Land on the Ring]]

You take out another support ship and recieve a salvo of plasma (if: $autumnarmor is "20%")[[Get hit]] (if: $autumnarmor is "0%")[[The ship vehicle armor is damaged]]

You have no more armor left it is best to land. [[Land on the Ring]]

(set: $vehiclearmory to "damaged") You do not want to take any more damage or it may be catastrophic. So you decide it is best to land. [[Land on the Ring]]

You take out the destroyer that was inbetween you and the capital ship. Since that ship was preventing the Capital ship from attacking it will now attack. It shoots a beam of plasma at the back half of the ship. It slices diagonally and removes two engines completely from the ship. As the engines float off into space they explode providing cover for you to land. (set: $autumn to "missing two engines") [[Land on the ring without major engine control]]

You are able to direct the ship to land on the ring, but you cannot choose where you land. (either: [[A desert]], [[A forest]])

You, an officer, and a small team land on an island on the halo ring to investigate. Your goal is to do reconnaissance and set up ground forces to defend the ring. The resources available to you are an entire support carrier. The ship is the ship for the Ministry of Discover. This will take place 10 hours after finding the ring. [[Focus troops on the inside and explore the inside]]

You are Thvel Vadam the supreme commander of this Covenant fleet. The acursed human heritics are standing in your way. They must be purged at all costs. (set: $destroyerships to "2" ) (set: $destroyership2 to "shielded" ) (set: $destroyership1 to "shielded" ) (set: $supportships to "5" ) (set: $capitalship to "Untouched" ) The ships that are at your command are the two Destroyer ships which focus on front lines combat and destruction, five supportships which work as artillery and ground operations back up, and finally your Capital ship a behemoth. The Capital ship knows how to take hits and deal damage better than any other ship, but it is slow. The enemy ship targets the (either: [[Capital Ship]],[[Destoyers]],[[Support Ships]])

(set: $mainforce to "inside") While exploring the inside of the island you find a map room. You use the map room to figure out about the layout of the Halo ring. You see a few different locations. [[Spore Storage]] [[Activation Pillars]] [[A map with a good place for a ship to dock]]

You and your team go to this Spore Storage location. You do not know what the spore is, but it is probably something related to the Gods that built this ring. It is worth discovering. [[Go to the spore location]]

The activation pillars seem interesting. Maybe the ring can be activated and it will lead the Covenant to Heaven. You and a small team go to the pillars. [[Start the trip]]

You tell supreme command that you found a good place for the ship to dock incase it need to stop for repairs. [[Focus troops on the inside and explore the inside<- Back to the Map room]] (set: $knowlege to "capitalshiplandingspot")

(set: $humanactivities to "Humans get to the Activation Room First") Eventually [[Release the flood]]

(set: $humanactivities to "Humans get to the Flood Spores First") You get to the activation pillars and start to investigate. A small floating machine comes down and tells you to not mess around with this ring. It is dangerous. If activated it would wipe the universe clean of life. It is meant to protect the universe from the flood. There is no active infection so activating this ring would be a terrible mistake. "No this is part of the great journey. If this thing can be activated I intend to activate it," you argue. "You made a religion based on these technologies?" "Yes. Everyone of these artifacts is holy." "You have got this all wrong. This was built by the Forerunners. They built this ring with the intentions of putting the seeds for all species back on each planet. They activated this ring and it killed them." [[Learn Halo is a superweapon that will kill everyone]]

You fly a personel transport in and hover above the wrecked human ship. You personally desend from your ship with your well trained combat team and enter the human ship in search of the Captain to take as a prisoner. You have numerous resources suited for the job. You do not need to worry about weapons [[Search for the Human Captain]]

As the ship sits in atmosphere above the valley a human drop ship releases a secret operations team. (either: [[Repel Human attack]] or [[You fail to notice]])

This is not good. Is it because he went into the room with you? [[Get away]] [[Fight the creatures]]

"Then they technically created us!" "No your species already existed. They just took copies of your DNA." "Activating this ring would undo everything they have done." Following the broad path that the prophets said you would walk together is actually a path that leads to your destruction. You probably shouldn't activate the ring. [[You must inform everyone!]]

You see this is a terrible situation and you run away while firing behind you. A glowing machine floats down and speaks to you. "This installation seems to have had a flood outbreak. Were you messing around down there?" "Yes I was it was for the great journey." This must be another secret that was hidden on this ring, The Oracle. [[Follow the Oracle]]

As you stand and fight something jumps on your back. You cannot reach it and you feel something stab into your neck. An immense pain at the base of your spine. You begin to lose control of your body. Something speaks in your mind telling you to eat. [[You are under flood control]]

The humans try to attack the ship by invading from underneath. Your forces take care of the problem. Now that they have attacked you have enough information to attack the human base. [[Go after the humans]]

You are unable to destroy the destroyer. You took it's shield down and it retreats. All the leftover ships fire at you. (set: $slipspacecore to "damagedbeyondrepair") Your slipspace core was damaged. If it were to be obliterated the ship would explode and half of it would be pulled into slipspace. It is best you get out of there. [[Land on the Ring]]

As the puny human ship targets the Capital ship, but you are the least bit worried. { (live: 3s)[ (stop:) Boom! ] } { (live: 4s)[ (stop:) Boom! ] } { (live: 5s)[ (stop:) Boom! ] } (set: $capitalship to "unshielded" ) { (live: 10s) [ (stop:) The shield on the capital ship flicker out, but the ship is not damaged. You know about the humans only way of standing a chance in combat are by using MAC rounds. They surrounded the planet Reach, the largest and strongest human fortress. Orbital space platforms that fired much larger tungeston rods. This ships three round burst cannon is nothing. ] } { (live: 12s)[ (stop:) [[Fire back]] ] }

You see as one of your destoryer ships has its shields taken away by two rounds from the human craft. The last round goes through the energy shielding and strikes on of your ships. (set: $destroyership1 to "unshielded" ) [[Fire back]]

One of your background ships is torn apart by this puny human ship. Unfortunetly you have plenty more support ships not in this ship to ship combat. They are hidden on the other side of the moon and some of them are investigation this ring. (set: $supportships to "4" ) [[Fire back]]

Your ships prepare to fire back with a bombardment of plasma. (if: $capitalship is "unshielded" ) [[Destroyer Attack]] [[Plasma Bombardment]]

A beam of plasma shoots from the Destroyer class ship. The human ship begins to dodge this first beam of plasma until the second destroyer fires on it too. This second attack carves up the human ships armor leaving it vulnerable. (set: $autumnarmor to "0%" ) The human ship goes to attack the capital ship again. You shout,"Insolent humans, you dare target the capital ship. To think you could take us down." It fires at your ship only sneaking one round of the three in. One of your destroyers sacrifices it's plasma shield to protect your ship. [[Capital ship plasma beam]] [[Destroyer ship plasma beam]]

The human ship is able to outmanuever the first plasma bombardment, but they won't be able to dodge the next attack. The human ship charges up and takes down another support ship. You damage the ship and it decides to retreat and land on the ring. You do not damage anything important. You take your ship and [[Land in a Valley]]

(set: $capitalship to "80%" ) You fire the capital ship's main beam at the human ship. It is too focused on dodging the support ship artillery fire. The capital ship slices through the engines of the human ship. It is now unable to maintain control in space and it must make a crash landing on the ring. (set: $autumnstatus to "damagedengine") Fire engulfs the human ship as it desends into the atmospere of the Halo Ring. Unfortunetly humans will corrupt this holy ring with their presence. Life boats shoot from the ship and land else where on the ring too. [[Land in a Valley]]

The ship has been damaged. Do you want to repair the ship or do you want to go after the humans that were escaping the crashing ship. [[Chase human ship]] [[Focus Defenses on the ship]]

You are unaware that humans are trying to invade your ship. You hear commotion on the ship. You send a team to figure out what the issue is. They find out and they call you on the radio, "HUMAN ARE ON THE SHIP!" "WHAT," you exclaim. "They are moving toward the slipspace engine." "Stop THEM" "We can't stop them. They have a man in a suit of armor and shielding, similar to out shield. He is unstoppable. He took out our tanky hunters" [[Go to the slipspace engine.]]

You and your team move toward the bridge of the human ship in search of the Captain. The Captain is not here, but you find evidence of where they went. [[Follow]]

You chase the humans back to there camp with an overwelming force. [[You invade the base and you are able to capture the captain. You take him back to your main ship and hold him captive.]]

While following you find that there was a lot of activity in the vehicle armory. Vehicular Tracks leave the docking bay toward the forest and another pair of tracks go toward the desert. (set: $humanreconteam to "ok") [[Check for Humans in the Desert]] [[Check for Humans in the Forest]]

You find two vehicles going into the desert. They are headed toward a large building in the distance. [[Go to the building before them]] [[Destroy the human tanks]]

It is more likely that those dirty humans would set up base in the forest. As you make your way into the forest you find a base being set up by human dropships. They are dropping of small buildings of operation. [[Small invasion team]] [[Call for reinforcements]]

(if: $humanreconteam is "ok")[[You invade the base and you are able to capture the captain. You take him back to your main ship and hold him captive.]] (if: $humanreconteam is "missing")[[The Recon team in the desert went missing so they were prepared.]]

You get to this strange building that is shooting beams of energy toward the middle of the ring world. This construct must have some amazing holy power. You do not understand what Halo is, but you must interact with it to achive enlightenment. [[Check for Humans in the Forest]]

You take down the tanks easily. It was just a reconnaissance team. (set: $humanreconteam to "missing") [[Go to the building before them]]

You are captured by the humans of this base because you look like the leader. The rest of your team is killed. [[The flood attack]]

(set: $captain to "captured") You capture the captain and begin to interrogate him. "I won't tell you anything Covenant scum." "I do not see myself as scum. I am one of the holiest men on my ship. I am a follower of the great journey. We will discover the secrets of this ring and take advantage of them." The human captain says, "My team is already going to figure out the secrets." "Where is this team of yours?" "I will not tell!" [[Pull out the mind reading machine]]

You figure out his team is going to investigate an underground section of the Halo ring. You prepare a team to send out to that section of the ring. [[The room the team finds]]

There is a large room with three doors. You plan to open all the doors because it is for the holy prophets. [[Room 1]] [[Room 2]] [[Room 3]]

This room is completely empty. All you are able to see is a structure in the center of the room. [[The room the team finds<-Back to the main room]]

This room is locked an you are unable to get in. This must be the important room. [[The room the team finds<-Back to the main room]] (if: $key is "yes") [[Open the locked door]]

This room has a box on the wall with an electronic key. (set: $key to "yes") [[The room the team finds<-Back to the main room]]

You walk into this room and it has a rather pungent smell of death. You look along the walls and see tubes with strange creatures inside. They look like they are made of rotten flesh. You think to yourself, "If they are in tubes... why do I smell it? It cannot be too bad, this is what the holy prophets wanted you to find." [[Report to the Holy Commander]]

As you start to call up the Covenant Commander on the ship one of your allies cries out in pain. As your head whips around you see him transforming into something like the creature in the tube. [[Release the flood]]

The Oracle tells you about how the ring works. All the steps that you will have to go through before activating it. What is the purpose of Halo you ask? Why to stop the infection of course. [[He takes you to the activation room]]

You go to the slipspace engine to prepare for the human assault. They burst in with someone in the back carrying a device. You throw a grenade and begin to fire apon them. One of the humans says, "activate the bomb." Your group kills all the humans except for the man in the suit of armor and your group gets taken out too. [[Fight the demon in the armor]]

These mounds of rotten flesh are attacking and changing the humans into zombies. You are able to break free in the chaos. You heard the humans talking about how the ring was a weapon to destroy the flood and activating the ring would be a dream to reach enlightenment. A machine comes to you and tells you that you need to activate the ring. A holy oracle personally chose you. This must have been destiny. [[Follow the Oracle]]

You cannot control yourself. You blindly attack your brethren. You try as hard as you can to resist, but it is futile. Your goal is to increase the amount of flood on the ring. [[Consume]]

You attack your brothers and increase the amount of flood by 20% You feel other thoughts in your head. Almost like a combination of thoughts from every person consumed, but corrupted. [[Consume More]]

You think about how you shouldn't have explored that room. This is not heaven it is pain. You have plenty of time to contemplate how the prophets misled you. You attack more of the Covenant Soldiers increasing your biomass by 50%. [[Consume even More]]

You start to come across humans and you infect them. They are horrified at the sight of these creatures. Your mind wants to prevent the activation or destruction of the ring. Both of these would lead to the death of the flood. You want to consume the entire universe. You must escape this ring after consuming everyone. The biomass of the flood goes up another 20% Your flood numbers are snowballing. The Covenant side of you thinks it can do one thing on your own until it regains control. (set: $free to "1") [[Continue consuming]]

You see a human soldier in a suit of green armor. He looks strong enough to destroy this ring or activate it. (if: $free is "1") [[Tell Him]]

He points his gun at you to blast you away like the rest, but you stop moving towards him and say something in a mangled voice. "W-w-wait" He stops and decides not to shoot you. You say, "You can defeat this." You point your non mutated hand at the mutated one. "You can [[Destroy the ring]]."

The human then shoots you once you go to attack him again. You are killed, but your mind does not go away. You are still part of this infection. As time moves on and you continue to try and infect every creature on this ring. You sense a large explosion somewhere on the ring. The ring is destroyed and everything on it is thrown into space.

"All you must do to activate the ring is to put the index into the control panel" Following your religion blindly you activate the ring. [[The ring charges up]]

You go to try and tell the higher ups, but they call you a heretic and banish you from the Covenant. Hopefully there were a few doubters among the Covenant that will listen to you. You learn that the flood has broken out on the Halo ring, but you do not want to destroy the universe either. There must be another solution. [[Join the Humans]] [[Blow up the Ring]]

The alien tells you about how his religion misled him and the humans talk about how religion mislead them too. Both sides are able to relate to eachother. The humans and the alien exchange information. You have to destroy the flood by blowing up this ring or activating it. Activating it will kill all life in the universe so we need to blow up the ring. [[Destroy the Human ship and escape]] [[Destroy the Covenant ship and escape]]

You want to save the universe from the flood so you go to the engine core of your ship and overload the core. The ship explodes along with the ring and the humans on the ring.

You fire your plasma rifle at him and he runs up to you and disarms you. { (live: 2s)[ (stop:) When he points his gun up at you the bullets bounce off your shield then his gun clicks. He is out of ammo. ] } { (live: 5s)[ (stop:) You pull out your energy sword made of plasma. You slice at him ] } { (live: 7s)[ (stop:) He ducks under your slash and tackles you. ] } { (live: 9s)[ (stop:) You hear the bomb counting down. [[Take the bomb away]] or [[Retreat]] ] }

You throw the human off of you and give up on fighting. You swoop up the bomb and run as fast as you can locking each automatic door behind you. The human cannot catch you, but you have an active bomb now. You get into the ship bay and you start driving a dropship away from the capital ship. [[Drop it outside]] [[Take it as far as you can.]]

You throw the human off of yourself and flee from the ship because the leader must survive and their is no time to stop the bomb from exploding. You tell everyone on the ship to leave the ship immediatly. You get into a banshee, or a personal flying vehicle, and fly away from the ship. As you look back the ship explodes and a massive ball of void envelops part of the ring. The ring is going to fall apart, the religous higher ups are going to blame this on you. [[Aftermath]]

You drop the bomb from your dropship outside the capital ship and you return to the main ship. The bomb goes off shaking the capital ship. You get reports that it was damaged even further. [[The ship needs to be repaired]]

You sacrifice yourself for the holy cause. Your ship explodes in a nuclear blast, but the capital ship is safe.

The ring is destroyed and your banshee floats through space. You call for one of the support ships to pick you up. You must now start the journey back to the Covenant Capital High Charity. You are branded a traitor for letting the ring get destroyed. They do not execute you, but they give you a suicide mission.

In the center of the ring energy gathers. You know you made the right decision to activate ring. It blasts out energy across the universe. It kills all sentient life, you, and your entire army, and humanity in one blast. The universe is silent and dead. The Halo Ring resets the universe and it puts the seed to life back on each erased planet.

The ship is unable to fly at this moment. You are stuck on the ring for awhile. As time passes a bright light flares up on the other side of the ring. There is an explosion and the ring begins to fall apart. The air on the ring is sucked into space and your ship is destroyed.

You repel the Covenant attack and take a prisoner. He keeps mentioning the great journey. You try to convince him the error of his ways and he blows himself up. [[Investigate Halo]]

You learn that Halo is a super weapon that is meant to destroy the flood, by killing their food. Luckily there is no flood outbreak, but you do not want the crazy covenant to activate it for some religous purpose. You decide it is best to blow up the Pillar of Autumn (if: $autumn is "ok")[[Blow up the Autumn's engines to destroy the flood.]] (set: $autumn to "missing two engines") [[Destroy the Slipspace Core]]

You set up your defenses for any attacks, but it is rather quiet. Then weird flesh monster attack the base. They start consuming humans and you do not know what to do. [[Join the Humans<-You encounter a lonely alien asking to help]]

You are able to do this with the Captain at your side. He has the overide for the engines. You escape the ship before it explodes destroying the ring.

The ship's engines were destroyed so you cannot blow the ring up without sacrificing yourself to set off the Slipspace core. It does not have a countdown and it goes off instantly. The Captain tells you that you need to escape and he tells you to leave the ring. You escape without the Captain.

An elite soldier is now working with the humans. They enter the ship together fighting off waves of flood in order to blow up the ship. They manage to escape the ring and they share information with eachother so the humans can defeat the Covenant.
