[As far as Taylor is concerned, Rook is dead, due to the fact he cannot get a pulse, if trae feels like telling me weither or not his guy is dead, then we can solve this] Taylor continued talking to Ashley, as he became slightly optimistic, and let out a light chuckle, saying in a semi-quiet voice, "Well... I could pilot, I don't know, though... I guess. Grab everyone, we are bugging out of here." but as Taylor turned he was met with Ike, who was talking about the Rook, Taylor was confused, so he said to Ike, "Woah, woah, woah, slow down, Ike... Take a breath... Now, where is he?" as Taylor's eyes jotted open, and he bursted from the group, running at full sprint toward the pelican, as he tripped, falling face first into the snow, that didn't stop him, he quickly picked himself up off the cold ground, and ran once again, as he found Rook's body, Taylor grabbed Rook, holding him as he knocked on Rook's helmet VISR, saying, "Rook! Rook! Get up!" Taylor became worried, he hurried towards the Falcon, as he rested him inside of it, he grabbed a Bio-Foamer off the wall, injecting it into his blood spattered chest, it wasn't helping though, he was too Damaged, Taylor became worried, as he breathed quickly, but he slowed down and just sighed, and closed his eyes, as he picked up Rook's body, carrying it in his arms, he walked out of the Falcon, near Ike and Ashley, as he put his Helmet in Ashley's hands, as he walked slowly toward the pelican, he grabbed a sheet, and put it over the Rook's body, he prayed in latin over his body, as he put his palm on Rook's head, saying, "Goodbye, Joseph." as he slowly walked away, he didn't know what to do anymore, he walked over to Ashley, as he said in a low voice, "I can't get a pulse, I think he is dead... We have to go, Ash..." as he put his hand on her shoulder.

Tal' stared out into the strew of debris, his arms crossed, and his smile had faded into an angry shell, but he kept himself peaceful, as he said to the elite in a booming voice, "C'mon, you know I want these humans out of my way, as well. Who's to say they wouldn't come after me? After all, " he paused, smiling wickedly yet again, and looking up at the screen, and continuing his sentence, "I am a wanted terrorist..." as he uncrossed his arms, clutching his left fist, and speaking in a quieter tone, but still a loud, giant-like voice, "Do we have a deal?"

DAYUM! Nice job with the Artworks,

Granted, It is a job as the guy who has to apologize about all the flaws in the Xbox One. I wish that I was in charge of writing Halo 5.

Ok... As excited as I am for the PS4 as well, I find this post highly illiterate and without logic. They did not ruin Reach, as they did not create it, all they do now is run the servers for the game, patch it, and choose which gamemodes THAT WERE ALREADY CREATED will be chosen. Multi-team being full of people abusing you is not 343i's fault, they cannot control who does what on a game that was released years ago, otherwise CoD would be filled with mature gentlemen. Credits are not in their hands either, you get credits by how YOU play the game. The shotgun up-close is full of power, makes sense they would nerf it, and as for the grenade, I am not sure. Armor Lock is an armor ability, that has been in the game since it came out, they can't do much about that. I have not seen swordblock for the host team, but this is likely a rare problem. You didn't like Halo 4, fine, no need to go slapping the fact around, it is called an opinion, keep it to yourself please. And go ahead and trade reach, you aren't hurting 343 or Bungie, in fact, you are only hurting your local gamestop, due to the fact that they have to sell this stuff to make money, so congrats. Oh, and one more thing, this isn't an official 343i website, this is a Community forum, -OMEGA

Tal' smiled wickedly, and ordered a Grunt Minor in the room in a booming voice, "Share the Fifth Screen with our friend here, NOW!" as the grunt hurried his hands on the board, and Tal's image cut off, instead, the image of a Forerunner structure on one of Tal's controlled worlds, and Tal' began to speak as the hologram rotated, "This artifact was found on Sirus, one of my worlds, I have not destroyed it yet instead, I have been studying it, to learn it's secrets, and I have learned quite the few, my friend, open up the footage!" as the screen swapped, to a hazy recording, on the grassy planet, as a squad of Elite minors approached the structure, one of them filming it, as the elite turned his recorder to a Minor, who turned his head, as a glow of orange burst through his body, and he evaporated, and the camera turned, and Tal' paused, the camera seemed to show the structure, except in the distance, a floating, forerunner object appeared, it seemed as though it was defending the facility, as the screen was minimized, and Tal' on his bridge was shown again, as Tal' slightly approached the screen, and he brought his hand up, the whole ship seemed silent, as he snapped his fingers, the snap echoed through the entire ship, and one of the doors bursted open, an Elite minor wheeled in what looked like a clear glass cage, and a deactivated Watcher, he looked back at the elite he was negotiating with, and said, "So... Do we have a deal?" as he lightly snickered.

Granted, but someone else does, so therefore, the point is mute. I wish that fish could walk on land.

The chills in the forest seemed to have gotten colder and more calm, as they lightly massaged Taylor's shoulder pad, Taylor signaled his squad to stay back, as he continued to move up the hills, scouting for soldiers, from either side, as the walking took it's toll on him, he sat on the hillside, and took his helmet off slowly, the Recon-Esq helmet, the past few days had been harsh on the beat up thing, but it still worked fine, they were made to last, not just the armor. As he sat, he examined his helmet, and smiled, as he turned it around, putting it back on to his head, and polarizing the visor again, as he continued up the mountain at a slow pace, he hit his foot on something sharp, he gasped in pain as he looked down, something green and large was buried into the snow, Taylor dug it out, as he picked it up, it was a helmet, not like any he had seen, it had the words, "MK. V" on it, and it was military, then, yet again, another memory flicked back into his head, an more visions, as his eyes projected a large man, in a suit of armor, with a helmet similar to this, holding his assault rifle defiantly, as a wave of snow hurdled toward the image, dissipating with the moving snow. Taylor shook his head, and continued walking, as he got closer to the fire, he could hear voices, not nearby, but in his head, he couldn't get them out, as he kept walking, they became louder and clearer, until he finally reached it, Taylor looked over the mound, and finally, reached the top of the hill, all he could see was a fire, it seemed primitive, but it was there, glowing in the mountains, it wasn't natural. As he looked around, strange glyphs started to appear on the fire, soon, all around Taylor, the alien glyphs appeared, they weren't Covenant either, Taylor's head began to hurt massively as he fell to the floor on his knees. He closed his eyes, and muttered strange words in another language, all while struggling to get a hold of himself, when suddenly, it stopped, everything, Taylor breathed heavily as he lifted his head up, opening his eyes, the fire stood peacefully, as he could make out the figure of a Falcon, slightly damaged, but useable, Taylor slowly lifted himself up as he saw, next to the Falcon, the same Spartan from earlier, except, he just stood and looked at Taylor, his gold visor shining, Taylor yelled toward him, "Hello? Person? Please, if you can help, just let me know you are there! Please?" as he started to come closer, the figure just stood still, then, it started to become a clear-white color, it was dispersing, into a glowing blue energy, Taylor yelled more at the figure, but it completely disappeared before Taylor could touch him, as Taylor pondered at this, still sick, and cold, he turned to the Falcon, as he explored the inside of it, as he looked out into the white yonder, he felt alone, and he had also wondered why no bodies appeared around the falcon, or the man who created the fire, Taylor jumped inside the Falcon's pilot seat, the controls were all there, he activated the Dashboard, and turned on the Falcon, as the rotors chugged along the Falcon's sides, he lifted the magnificent bird into the air, the wind brushed the side of his helmet, as he looked through the glass, and saw the moon, finally showing, as Taylor smiled, he flew back to the crashed pelican, as he nestled the falcon down slowly, he lifted the cockpit up, and jumped out, looking around, as he saw it again, the white elite, holding the girl, except this time, instead of his wife, it was Ash, Taylor's heart dropped, as he closed his eyes, opening them again, to see both figures gone, it was just a vision, Taylor shook it off, walking back to Ash, Ike, and Jacob, as his eyes seemed tired, Taylor crouched next to the three, and said, "We... We got a Falcon, we have a way to get where we need to go, now we need a good pilot, It has been a long time, I'm a little rusty." as he looked out unto the pelican.

Good,

See you soon old friend, Quoting Carolina from Red vs Blue, "Never say goodbye. If you don’t say 'goodbye,' then you aren't really gone. You...just aren't here right now."

Seems fine to me, accepted,

:salute: It has been a honor soldier, good luck on your next frontier!

Well that made me laugh.... PS4 ALL THE WAY!!! WOOT WOOT!

Taylor turned to her, and calmly answered, "Not sure, I hope there are. (sigh), I better go check on Ike, make sure he hasn't killed anybody yet... Actually, I think I'm more scared of that Hellbringer, he talked to his helmet... Yeah, all the more reason to go check." as he picked himself up off the powdery floor, and jogged over to Ike, as he tapped Ike's shoulder, telling him, "Keep an eye on Ashley and Jacob over there, we are heading up to the camp, we will be back down here soon." as he yelled over to John and the crazy Hellbringer, he pulled out his shotgun, putting on his helmet and polarizing it.

Taylor crouched in the ashy wasteland, as he looked up at Reach's moon, it glowed in a ball of blue and white in the cloudy sky, this reminded Taylor of an old portrait, he struggled to remember the name, but the picture was clear, as it struck him, the name, "Starry, Starry, Night." Taylor said calmly and in a low voice as he continued admiring the stars, they were beautiful, as he got up, he walked over towards Ashley, and sat down next to her, looking up at the stars, he said to her, "You know, we never do get to see the stars that much. With the war and all." as he smiled a little bit.

Welcome Back friend, nothing out of the ordinary here...

The regular way, put the colors on your spartan, and go into SO.

[We aren't under the pelican, I just took Jacob from there, we are about a yard away from the pelican]

Tal' was shocked to see such an old friend, but he retained a wicked smile, "Well, well... Haven't seen you in years... But I am not calling to anger you, or make such a rash decision, we have decided, that you and I... Have what human filth call a... Common, enemy... So, I propose a temporary partnership, to get rid of these filthy barriers that stand in such a great alliance's way. Would it not be easier to shut down this utterly incompetent human's request and rid the insects of this planet standing in your way in one fell swoop? All they will do is limit you, THEY TREAT US LIKE DOGS! We must show them that WE are now the top of the food chain, and we won't let APES, say what we can and cannot study, and where we can and cannot go... We share common ground brother... Consider the offer, for a temporary time, we can eliminate the bounds that hold us... What do you say?" as he released his energy blade on one hand, cutting off the head of a small statue.

Taylor pulled out a Kurki he had stashed in his pocket from a trip to Japan on Earth, as he turned to Jacob, saying, "Alright, this won't hurt a bit, promise." as he stuck the Kurki into the leg, trying to pluck out the pipe from the bones and blood, as he managed to rip away most of it, adding bio-foam from Ike to it, now, for the diagnostic, as he heard the helmet's medscan, he grabbed Jacob's arm, and counted to three quickly as he relocated the arm. he grabbed Jacob, as he slowly walked with him, bringing him to Ashley, as he laid Jacob down on a small rock. Taylor nodded to Ashley and returned to Ike and Murphy, as he crouched down next to them, saying, "We are gonna stick together, I think I have a plan," as he turned his head a pointed to a nearby ridge with an orange glow piercing from it, and continued his sentence, "See that glow? I think some squids might be camped up there, and where there are squids... There are Vehicles, so, what do you say?"

Taylor was locked in the moment when he heard the shouts of a familiar friend, he yelled, "F**k, Jacob! I'm coming!" as he told Ash he would be right back and ran in the direction of the screams, he found Jacob, as he called out, "S**t, we need a medic down here! Stay with me Jacob, stay with me, we're gonna get you out of here!" as he pulled the heavy thruster off of Jacob's leg, pulling off Jacob's helmet, and once again turning, and yelling, "Hey! We need a medic over here!"

Tal' stood out unto the fleet in front of him, as he turned to a Operator, in Scarlett ultra armor, asking, "What the hell is going on out there?" as the Elite kept his eyes on the screen, fiddling with the controls, answering his question, "Not sure, Sir, they were beating the living hell out of each other one minute ago, looks like they both want something that is on the planet." as the Elite's eyes opened wide, as he turned his head, moving closer to the elite, asking in a quieter voice, "Can you intercept their transmissions?" as the elite, fiddled for several seconds, finally looking up at Tal' answered, "Got some of it, sir... Kinda choppy, but they have incredibly secure channels." as one of the large screens shown a staticy black and white video, as a voice could be heard, "Maybe you-- heed-- warni--.You would still have a fleet if you had. Now, you wish-- surrender, I belie--? (Static) tell you that---- found---- interesting. The signal that led yo-- here." as the video cut to black and the room was filled with silence, Tal' looked at the Ultra and yelled, "Patch me through to the Elite, now!" as the Ultra quickly fiddled with the controls, trying to contact the fleet ahead.

[Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah... Hold on one minute here. I thought you said you were leaving/becoming less active on the site Trae, what the hell happened?]

Taylor docked his shotgun and raised his hands to his head, pulling off his helmet and revealing he was human, "Relax, I ain't one of them. You have my word." as put his TAC/COM to his mouth channeling Ash, and saying, "Ash, we found someone... Ash? Ash?" as he put his helmet back and gestured for the Hellbringer to follow him as he rushed back to the Pelican, he found Ashley, and he noticed her leg was hurt badly, he rushed in, taking out a medical kit and doing all he could to heal up her leg, saying throughout it, "It's almost fixed, Ash. Just relax." as he continued, except going faster and faster each second.
