The Covenant has collapsed after a long, brutal war that saw billions slaughtered on Earth and her colonies. For the first time in decades, however, peace finally seems possible. But though the fighting's stopped, the war is far from over: it's just gone underground. You help us take control so that you know your enemy and think you can then control us. Too many lives have been lost. It has to stop. This is part of the war. This is the cause of our enmity.
Humans kill humans too. I interpreted your communications for my old shipmaster. I speak several human languages. He was lucky to get that far without hav- ing his head ripped off. So we do favors, you and I. For the greater good.
Sangheili had a military sense of honor, and the truth she was about to drop into the deceit went some way toward satisfying her own. If they did, she had no idea what it looked like, not with that four-way jaw. The muscles in his dog-reptile face relaxed for a moment. You spread vile lies about them. This must stop. Come on, think. So you say the gods themselves were killed by them.
And why you say he also lives. This so-called proof about the Halos means nothing. Not even to you. She knew that feeling. Faith is quite separate. She almost held out her hand to shake on the agreement but thought better of it. It was too easy to look at them and see only an ungainly animal with strangely bovine legs, and not a superior force that had almost brought Earth to its knees. We owe you. And wonderful to have unique access to Sangheili space with all expenses paid, of course.
Good old ONI. My taxes, well spent. I have to be able to deny it with a straight face. She should have expected him to work it out. Phillips was whistling tunelessly under his breath, as if he was glad to be leaving. He probably realized that. ONI regarded him as a single-use sharp. Phillips burst out laughing. However, a lot of plot lines were advanced, and I really enjoyed the writing. The original characters are walking around talking about the same conversation for 4 separate chapters and accomplish nothing exciting while in the spherical haven.
It fulfilled my needs as a fan! Glasslands was a great introduction for me into the Halo series. Books and media Novels The Fall of Reach. Across the galaxy, a woman thought to have died in the Covenant attack on the planet Reach is actually very much alive. But in truth, a larger threat lurks beyond the boundaries of glasslsnds empire. KIlo 5 story arc was really good.
