MLG Cheehwawa's ** Halo REACH script ** (+REACH 2 preview!)
[b]Halo: REACH[/b]
[i]by MLG Cheehwawa[/i]
[b]*** // [u]PLEASE POST YOUR THOUGHTS TO KEEP THIS THREAD ALIVE. A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO IMAGINING, RESEARCHING, WRITING, AND EDITING THIS... ALL DONE BY ME. THANKS![/u] \\ ***[/b]
[b]** [i]Moderator-approved[/i] **[/b]
[b][u]DISCLAIMERS[/b][/u]
[i]This is entirely my creation (I have borrowed lines directly from some novels to tie this in with the existing canon); I have no affiliation with Bungie studios and do not claim to know what Halo REACH will be about. This is my idea for what REACH would be like [b]if[/b] I were the writer on the project. A lot of this has been crafted by me, and not taken directly from the Halo canon (namely characters, locations, battles, and ships), but to the best of my knowledge, it does not conflict with the canon at all. If it does, let me know so I can tweak it.[/i]
[b]The numbering question:[/b] [i]Sierra-259 and Sierra-320 have call-signs above 150, the original number of Spartan-II candidates. My explanation for this is that there was a large pool of children surveyed (at least 320). Then of those, 150 of the best were selected, and of those, only 75 were conscripted due to budget limitations.[/i]
The script is all complete and posted. This is definitely not the end of the story, though. I have designed this to be a trilogy of games. I'm working on the first sequal now, which will run parallel with the beginning of Halo 2 and some of Ghosts of Onyx, but it will be a new story like with my first script.
Halo REACH 2 will show us numerous things which Bungie hasn't told us about, that you will find out as I post. I don't know how fast I will be able to get the sequal done, though I already have the backbone for the first and second sequals, as well as the [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=35589354]first cinematic[/url] (Harbinger), as well as about half of the first mission, for REACH 2. I'm starting at a full time job tomorrow and another semester at college late this month. I will get this done as fast as possible.
[b]IF YOU DO NOT WANT MY STORY SPOILED, I SUGGEST YOU AVOID THE BESTIARUM AND DRAMATIS PERSONAE UNTIL SOMETHING IN THE STORY CONFUSES YOU.[/b] Otherwise you may know how the story ends before you even begin.
[b]I write this for three reasons:[/b]
[b]1.[/b] Because I love the Halo Universe. [b]2.[/b] I am the writer for a small game developing studio. This is good practice for my current and future work. [b]3.[/b] To share my story; a lot of effort went into this, so please give it a read and leave some feedback if you have the time.
[i]I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed researching and writing it.[/i]

[quote][b][u]Harbinger[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=35589354]Part 1[/url] ll [b]Part 2[/b])[/quote][i][b]Long:[/b] exterior docking station, focus on the smaller ship of the pair for a moment.[/i] [i][b]Medium:[/b] interior, bridge of Brute ship the TRIUMPHANT DECLARATION. Two Brutes stand in the center of the Bridge, facing the main entrance, with other Brutes operating the controls on the perimeter. One of the pair wears [url=http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/1/16/Red_Brute_captain.jpg]blood-red armor[/url], with black-and-white streaked hair clearly visible between the plating. The other, slightly shorter and more youthful, wears very little armor like the Halo 2-style Brute, and has pure black fur. His hair is shaved in unique designs, including the hair on his cheeks, similar to the Brutes in Halo 3. The armored Brute speaks loudly for all to hear:[/i] [b]NABORUS:[/b] Crewmen! [i][b]Close:[/b] focus on the two Brutes. The older one in the armor, NABORUS, looks at his Bridge crew, now at attention.[/i] [b]NABORUS:[/b] You are dismissed from your duties. I will summon you when we are to make away from the station. [i][b]Medium:[/b] the Brutes of the Bridge shuffle out of the side entrances, leaving only the pair standing atop the floating "island" in the center of the Bridge.[/i] [i][b]Close:[/b] focus on NABORUS as he speaks quietly:[/i] [b]NABORUS:[/b] the Chieftain is waiting. He is an old battle-mate of mine. Do not disappoint me, Lepidus. [i][b]Close:[/b] focus on LEPIDUS as he speaks in a confident tone, puffing his chest out slightly.[/i] [b]LEPIDUS:[/b] I will not, Shipmaster. [i][b]Close:[/b] focus on NABORUS as he stares at LEPIDUS for a moment, gives a half-nod of approval, and keys a control on a panel next to him.[/i] [i][b]Medium:[/b] the main entrance slides open noislessly, revealing a trio of massive figures. The central Brute sports an icy white mohawk and carries a massive gravity hammer. A Brute accompanies him on either side. The one on the left is clearly older, with fading brown fur: GRATTIUS. The one on the right is younger, sports red-brown fur: STRABUS. The trio makes their way to the center of the Bridge. NABORUS and LEPIDUS drop to a knee as they near.[/i] [i][b]Close:[/b] TARTARUS stands above the pair, gives a gruff laugh, and speaks:[/i] [b]TARTARUS:[/b] Rise, friend! [i]NABORUS rises up and stands face to face with TARTARUS, and performs a rough handshake maneuver. LEPIDUS remains in his kneeling position, head hung low in respect.[/i] [b]NABORUS:[/b] It has been too long! [b]TARTARUS:[/b] Indeed it has, Naborus. I shall make some time to start a hunt. [b]NABORUS:[/b] Like the old days. [i]TARTARUS grins wide, and then allows a more somber look come across his face and pauses before replying:[/i] [i][b]Extreme Close:[/b] focus on TARTARUS' face as he speaks:[/i] [b]TARTARUS:[/b] Times are changing, old friend. The Prophets are finally seeing the Jiralhanae for all that we are worth. [i][b]Close:[/b] focus on the pair of Brutes conversating.[/i] [b]NABORUS:[/b] Indeed. [b]TARTARUS:[/b] The holy Prophet of Truth has emparted me on a mission. [i]TARTARUS reaches down to his belt and grabs a hold of the orb from earlier, unscrews the cap, and removes a small shard of sapphire-crystal.[/i] [b]TARTARUS:[/b] What is-- [i][b]Extreme Close:[/b] focus on the miniscule piece of crystal in TARTARUS' massive hand. The Brute moves the crystal forward, thrusting it into NABORUS' grip.[/i] [i][b]Close:[/b] focus on the Brute pair.[/i] [b]TARTARUS:[/b] This... is a holy relic. The Shard of and Oracle. The Prophet of Truth has dispatched orders to re-activate the plasma weaponry aboard your ship. [b]NABORUS:[/b] For what purpose? [b]TARTARUS:[/b] Your ship The [i]Triumphant Declaration[/i] is the new flag-ship of the Jiralhanae fleet of Furious Redemption. You will lead one of three offenses. [b]NABORUS:[/b] But the Sangheili will not allow us to-- [i]TARTARUS snaps a quick reply, asserting his dominance.[/i] [b]TARTARUS:[/b] They are not the ones who make the decisions. The Prophets are. [b]NABORUS:[/b] I... I understand. What am I to lead the Fleet against? [b]TARTARUS:[/b] Further orders will be relayed to you soon. This crystal must be kept safe, as it is a vital component of the next step. [b]NABORUS:[/b] Next step? [b]TARTARUS:[/b] You will know in time. { [i]he gestures toward LEPIDUS, still kneeling with his head bowed.[/i] } And who is this? [i]LEPIDUS stands as soon as he is referred to. He bows his head when he stands straight and allows his Shipmaster -- no, Fleetmaster -- to answer for him.[/i] [b]NABORUS:[/b] This is my nephew, Lepidus. He is my prime officer. [b]TARTARUS:[/b] Nephew... { [i]he snorts.[/i] } Keep your eye on him. I was once an officer aboard my Uncle's ship once as well. [b]NABORUS:[/b] Yes, Chieftain. [i]NABORUS and LEPIDUS bow simultaneously, the younger hesitates slightly.[/i] [i][b]Close:[/b] focus on TARTARUS and his two henchmen.[/i] [b]TARTARUS:[/b] I will leave my two cohorts with you. For the safe-keeping of the Relic. { [i]he gestures toward the older one, with fading brown hair.[/i] } Grattius, { [i]he gestures toward the younger one, with red-brown fur.[/i] } Strabbus. I will be in contact. [i]The two henchmen step away from their Chieftain, bow to him, and move to stand behind NABORUS and LEPIDUS.[/i] [b]TARTARUS:[/b] Be safe, Naborus. I will speak with you soon. [b]NABORUS:[/b] Yes, Chieftain. [i][b]Close, tracking:[/b] follow TARTARUS. The four Brutes on the Bridge bow to the Chieftain, as the alpha Jiralhanae turns to leave through the main entrance. Silence follows him. He exits through the door, which slides shut behind him as the camera turns back into the bridge, detaches from following the Brute, and drops slowly to the floor as the four Brutes on the Bridge stand straight and turn to eachother, just before the doors shut.[/i] [i]Cut to black.[/i] [Edited on 08.09.2009 7:45 AM PDT]
