[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] [b][u]Halo REACH[/b][/u][quote] [b]0: [u]Introduction[/b][/u] ([i]this![/i]) [b]I: [u]Dramatis personae[/b][/u] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33693067]Part 1[/url]) [b]II: [u]Bestiarum[/b][/u] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33693087]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33693155]Part 2[/url]) [b]III: [u]The Pillar of Autumn[/b][/u] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33693221]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33693234]Part 2[/url]) [b]IV: [u]Reach[/b][/u] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33694166]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33694189]Part 2[/url]) [b]V: [u]The Grid[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33722631]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33722679]Part 2[/url]) [b]VI: [u]The Divine Retribution[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33823721]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33823737]Part 2[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33823770]Part 3[/url]) [b]VII: [u]Camp Independence[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33883434]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33883449]Part 2[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33883459]Part 3[/url]) [b]VIII: [u]Ruins[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33939360]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33939382]Part 2[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33939415]Part 3[/url]) [b]IX: [u]Graves[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33954239]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33954252]Part 2[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33954269]Part 3[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33954281]Part 4[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33954297]Part 5[/url]) [b]X: [u]Asterion[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33966708]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33966723]Part 2[/url]) [b]XI: [u]Pathways[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33967345]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33968437]Part 2[/url]) [b]XII: [u]Revalation[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33986238]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33986267]Part 2[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33986285]Part 3[/url]) [b]XIII: [u]Ghosts of Reach[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33991656]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33992667]Part 2[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33992722]Part 3[/url]) [b]XIV: [u]Credits[/b][/u] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33693275]Part 1[/url]) [b]XV: [u]Legendary Ending[/u][/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=33999918]Part 1[/url]) [/quote] [b][u]Halo REACH 2[/u] (preview)[/b][quote] [b]Harbinger:[/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=35589354]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=35589441]Part 2[/url]) [b]Notes[/b] ([url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=36475503]Part 1[/url] ll [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=36475530]Part 2[/url]) [Edited on 08.30.2009 6:52 PM PDT]
