' ' The beginning of wisdom is ignorance. ' '

Instead of playing my shiny new game I am reading Dr. Haley's journal. Here is yet another account of my silly fangirlism and dorkability combined:

Halsey wrote, and I quote, "ONI has provided me with a diplomatic shuttle, the Han, along with a dedicated AI, Toran, and my young lieutenant to pilot the craft and act as attaché ('babysitting' comes to mind)" describing the beginning of the procurement process of candidates for the SPARTAN-II project. The object of my amusement is in the very specifically underlined "my" within the sentence. Who writes my lieutenant without inferring... well. Anyway.

Damn me. Why do I ship old people anyway? /facepalms


/turns the page. AND SHE DREW HIM WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING. S-SO CUTE!!!!!!!!! There is also a profile sketch of him. He was quite handsome. 8D


She drew Keyes twice more: once practicing some form of martial arts (she has multiple arm positions drawn out at once and some names for what I presume are the techniques he studied) and another where he must have been fixing something on their shuttle (the caption beneath read: "Hands on. Didn't even wait for the tech crew. Got it done though.") She used his first name only in referring to him in this later entry. Why do I think this is cute? I think she had a mild crush on him, grew attached to him as a constant in her life during that time. And she admired qualities that made him unique and honorable. She purposefully dismissed him from continuing the SPARTAN-II project for this qualities.

...God, I am a dork.


I don't think it's just me anymore--whoever wrote this obviously supports Halsey/Keyes just as much as I do. /glees

"I met my lieutenant again while attending a conference at the University of Calippus.
Don't know if it was the dizzying pressure that I've been under, or the chance reunion with a kindred spirit in a strange place, or something else...

...But I'm glad it was him."


Omg, if they are implying that Miranda is her and his child......

"Did not expect the separation anxiety to be so strong. I guess not hearing her cry wakes me up at night too."



...Madre de Dios they are!

"Jacob has agreed to take her in. I'll miss her, but it's for the best."


In a completely (mostly) different aside: She drew Miranda on one side of a page and, flip the page, on the other side is Cortana drawn out several times. Haha. Her two daughters...

Halsey writes "She spoke her first words (in Italian): 'When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box.'"

You do not understand the level of fangirlism that just went filtered through my brain. Trust me, you really don't want to. But least to say there was a lot of squeeing. Cortana's first words make Giovanni cringe and nod appreciatively at the same time. Mmm.


Well there's no doubt about it left: she clearly states that Miranda is her daughter (though without using that phases or the term daughter anywhere). She calls Keyes her father, and says Miranda legally changed her name to his (from hers presumably, obviously). Dr. Halsey is...a very interesting being. A scientist, distant and calculating and cold; a mother, caring, regretful, protective.

It's getting late. I should stop reading and go to bed. Damn.


Wow. That Spartan really looks like Mario.
And with that final loony tidbit I say adieu.

Battle Music

Have you ever watched one of those shows where, somewhere in the show, they have this really bad-ass battle scene or action scene and there's this soft, totally opposing music playing in the background? Kinda like the battle with Jenova when they play Aerith's Theme? Yea, well. That's highly amusing to me.

And get this, I was just reading The Fall of Reach (again) and got to the awesome space battle with Keyes when he does his famous "Keyes Loop" maneuver... and guess what decides to play on my MP3 player? The ending theme to FFVIII. Now the point of this is, in that end theme they play "Eyes On Me" and that's what was playing as I read through that kick-ass battle.

I mean, come on. This really intense battle is going on in front of my eyes and suddenly this soft, sweet song is playing in the background? That's so freakin' amusing! I love it! I always did love it when an action scene is going on and "pretty" music starts playing. It cracks me up, amuses me to no end, and is a really great idea. I just love it! And there it goes playing in one of the most bad-ass fight scenes ever to exist in the Halo universe. That just freakin' made my day. Oh yea.

GRR!!!

ALL MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS ALWAYS DIE!!!!!!!! WHY!?? I DON'T UNDERSTAND! IT'S SO MADDENING! NOT FAIR! NO, NO, NO!!!

I mean, really. Why? It's always the cool ones. The ones I like. The old cool guy that's calm and collected and helps the main character by just being there. If it's not Captian Keyes, then it's Grue. Maaan. It's so uncool. :(

Dude, check it out!

Kyahahaha. I can't wait until this comes out! Screw Skip the first part and read about the novel. An interview with the arthur, and it sounds cool. I totally agree with his answer to the 'what is the best received part of the books'. I love Captain Keyes and all the Spartans. ^_^

I really, really want this to come out now. It's coming in November though. I can't wait! Oh, and now I'm not sure whether it's following Halo 2 or not. If it does, it kinda sounds like it might be from more than and especially a different person's point of view rather than Master Chief. Maybe a different Spartan or the rest of them all? Hmm. I'm not sure. It depends on whether Onyx is the name of the planet Installation 05(?) was near.... it maybe that's where Gravemind is. I'm thinking he's apart of this... just from reading the back of the book cover. I could be wrong though. And it's very likely knowing me.

Anyway. I really can't wait!!

The Fun Parts

Memorable quotes from my current obsession. The excerpts are taken directly from the second novel, The Flood. I'm sure I'm not through yet...

Real pretty. )

Lieutenant, Commander, Captian

I am officially in love with Jacob Keyes. He totally kicks ass!!! If you want to know why, read The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund. If you'd rather spoilers, then ask. I suggest reading it instead though. But go ahead if you have no plans of it.

And to anyone who recognizes the name, yes, it's a Halo novel. It is very good though. I don't care if you hate the game(s). It very well written and kicks much ass. And that's final.
