Re: Halo [R]Evolved - Two Betrayals

In Response To: Halo [R]Evolved - Two Betrayals (SonGoharotto) : • Lt. McKay : "Burn it. Burn everything ." (To the Chief) : "Tell me you have a plan." : • Cortana : "Like you said, Lieutenant: We burn it all. We're going to : blow the Pillar of Autumn and destroy Halo." : A crowd of survivors have gathered around them; some Marines and some Naval : personnel. This last comment inspires whoops of approval. McKay shakes her : head. : • Lt. McKay : "You need command clearance for that. Only the : Captain--" : There is a pained cry and everyone reacts, drawing weapons. A scarred Elite : with one fiercely burning eye has taken a crewman hostage. Though his : combat harness has been stripped down to merely the underlying bodysuit, a : Sangheili warrior remains far larger and stronger than even trained : Marines. : There is a standoff. : • Zuka 'Zamamee : (Furious) "Heresy!" : Zuka fires a spray from the crewman's Assault Rifle. Master Chief moves to : defend Lieutenant McKay, the bullets pinging harmless off his MJOLNIR : suit's energy shields. The Elite takes this opening to throw aside the : crewman and mounts a nearby Mongoose. Clearly familiar with human-made : vehicles, Zuka tears out of the base camp, ignoring the Marine fire that : peppers his back. : • Lt. McKay : "Damn it! That was the prisoner we caught at the : Cartographer. We have to stop him from warning his superiors!" : • Cortana : "Save your men, Lieutenant. The Chief and I can get ahead : of him. What we need you to do is secure the Autumn 's crash site. I loved this rewrite, but I have only a few concerns: 1. Zuka 'Zamanee speaking english. Maybe it'd be better to go back to the days of Halo: CE and Reach, where no Elites speak human languages. Perhaps to solve this situation, there could be a shot of an Elite that twitched upon the mention of destroying Halo, and that's when he goes nuts? It would give the hint that Zuka may not want to speak english, but knows well when his ring is in danger, so that's what ends up driving him up the wall. 2. His escape in a Mongoose. Most of the Covenant would rather die than wield human weapons and vehicles (....though there's the gameplay AI), and they only get rid of that rule with the rise of the Flood and the nearing of the Human-Elite truce. Maybe if there is a damaged banshee around the area foreshadowed in the start of the cutscene, for it to be taken by Zuka? Then again, it could be argued that Zuka lost his honor already, though that'd be something only the people that read the Flood could probably understand. 3. Another problem is that they'd let simply him run. Even a marine Sniper would probably be able to stop him as he's on the wheels. Likewise, if he escaped in a banshee, there'd be story justification for marines being unable to take it down -- Or at the very least damage it. Only Linda-058 is badass enough to shoot out Covenant from inside their goddamned banshees.
