The Ward's Guard

Halo CE Halo 2 Halo 3

I'm just vibing to some good old SABATON. I'm not typically a fan of their genre of music, however, I'm a big Military History Buff, and I absolutely believe that these guys are modern Bards, telling us the tales of all but forgotten heroes and struggles. The guys in the band are quoted to have said something along the lines of there being too many people who are being forgotten for us to make up new stories, we should remember those who came before us instead of fantasying. There's a feeling to these stories from history that they invoke, I suggest that you check them out at least once. If you listen to the music, do yourself a favor and quickly check out the history behind the song that you're listening to. Ask me for recommendations if you want, I'm fairly familiar with their repertoire.

There were some good parts. But it mostly felt like JJ was trying to erase The Last Jedi. The only reason I didn't say much during my first time watching it was because I was in a theater. Somehow it was slightly better when I watched it a second time, probably because I actually knew what on earth was going on when they jumped from points A-Z of the plot faster than I could keep track of. It was a major mess, and rest assured, when I watched it at home, I heckled the heck out of that poorly constructed mess. Given the choice, I would rather watch literally any other Star Wars film than the Sequels. I might be overreacting, but I have a LONG rant that I can go on about why I don't like it. Sorry for going off on a mini-rant like this, but oooh boy, I don't like the Sequels. I respect those who like it, but I just don't.

Thank you Filoni for not leaving us with only the Sequels to keep us company during these trying times.

"Good good, if that's everything then I'll be on my way." The man turned to walk away.

Pior perked up. "Bet ya it's money. Some sort of hidden treasure like in one of those stories."

"Well then, let me see here." The man pulled a piece of paper and a pen out of his briefcase and offered them to Ellis. This has gotten out of hand. I did not mean for this to go on this long.

"Oh, then I will get rid of that CCC form. Did you want to sign one on your own Ellis?"

"Oh, did you all want to sign independently? I apologized, I thought you were signing as a group."

"Maybe they are just terrible at guarding prisoners? But what do I know, I'm just the guy who stabs things that my boss doesn't like."

Pior nodded. "They are so rare. I'm not the hugging type."

Pior yelped and drew his dagger as Chorale snarled. Pior spoke under his breath."Crushing amal jim-foolery." He then cleared his throat. "I'm Pior, Aerith's companion in his endless quest to rescue you." Pior nudged Aerith, hard. @Ookla the Channelknight

Pior had started to doze off as Vivace and Concerto were speaking, only to jerk awake at random. He turned to look at Aerith. "I miss anything good?"

Kuno smiled. "I know. If you get the chance, then break him your way. If you can't or don't have the time, then we'll have to rely on the old fashion way and give him to Rachelle. I can get you a dossier on him if you need one."

The man folded up the table and placed it into his briefcase before closing it. "It's been a pleasure. Now, I must go speak with the Wizard. After that I need to get back to where they dropped me off."

"Perfect. Now if you folk don't have any further questions, comments, or concerns, I shall be on my way." The man began to put the papers back into his briefcase.

Kuno turned towards the fire. "Excellent, your mission will be two-fold. First, assist Ghost Division in the infiltration of the Amal movement. That's the easy one. The second mission is one that you'll be doing separate from the rest of Ghost Division; you of course may have a few of your subordinates to help you, but keep this one on the down-low. I hope that you recall the leader of the Amal, Concerto. He was recently removed from his position and is on the run." Kuno looked back towards The Maestro and said, "I need him, alive. He has information that if my sources are correct, could prove a lethal edge for the Amal."

Arminio sank into his chair as he actively tried to avoid The Maestro's gaze. Kuno nodded and gestured to an empty seat next to the fire. "Good to have you here, I need the very best in the field. I have a few special assignments for you, if you're up to the task."

"I'm just doing what Management told me to do. Now, will you sign the CCC so we don't send anyone else your way?"

Ros let out a short yelp as he fell towards the floor, his lashing having let go of him. "I'm alright!"

Kuno smiled. "Incredible timing as always. Come in, anything you have to share before we proceed?"

The man clicked his pen as he appeared to think about this. "If you want to read the CCC, then be my guest. I have no problem with that."

"We have an anonymity clause that I'm not allowed to breach. Bored gods who have nothing better to do than critique people like you." The man cleared his throat. "Now, if you don't want to go over these complaints with me, I can have you sign a CCC form and I'll be on my way. Note, the CCC form will tell our system to stop sending people your way."
