Can't come up with a good title.

Ok, so this is a story based off of the game Halo. I wanted to see if this would be good, so yeah...

The whole purpose of the story is to uncover Halo's secrets, not fighting. Yeah, there will be plenty of fighting, but I don't want the whole story being lost through the fighting.
Plus, I want to see how far this will go.

Anyway, this story will begin on a ship similar to the Pillar of Autumn, but it isn't. Halo itself will be like the one in Halo, including 343 Guilty Spark. The Covenant will be there, too. But if I included Master Chief, the unravling of the story would be very simplistic, and I want everyone's characters to try and figure out Halo for themselves, just like Master Chief and Cortana did.

So basically it is the game Halo, but no MC, Cortana, or Captain Keyes. Everyone's character will have their own AI if they want to, but that is up to you to give them one with your own name and personality or have no AI with that character. As for the captain... well, he isn't involved that much in the story anyway, so I will create my own captain.

Let me just get started... you will see what I mean soon...

---------------------------------------------

The vessel progressed through space, hours upon hours without a sight to be seen. The passengers were kind of relentless for being bored, and some wondered why they had to go on this tour.

William was in Engineering, tweaking around with his Boomerang Guns, hoping to upgrade them as the hours passed. He was given an AI to fit onto his com-link, so he could have conversations with it as long as he wanted to.


William: "But what does that have to do with anything, Mentome?"
Mentome: "That this tour is supposed to get other people together to interact instead of fighting."
William: "Yeah, but I would prefer action over boredom."

The trip lasted forever. They have all seen the many planets that existed, and getting from one to another took forever as it was. At least they had food and drinks.

William was done tinkering with his weapon, so he put the tools back in place and walked out of Engineering. He began walking around the corridors, glancing over in the Armory, seeing many weapons that he could not use right now. There was no target practice or anything to try them out at.

He went in the hallway right before the Cryo Tube Bay, which was now changed to the Break Room, where all the people who have come to take the tour would wait at until a planet was in sight. One of the guards saw William's weapon, and they kindly took it from him. They allowed them their weapons if they were to fix them in Engineering, but they didn't want them in the break room because they don't want fights to start up and end in bloody catastrophe. All the weapons were stored on the Bridge so that Captain Years could make sure nobody took them without permission.

The automatic doors opened, and William walked in. He sat in a nearby chair and took the chip out of his com-link set and put it in the terminal in front of him. A female figure appeared on top of it, being of orange color and data streaming through its body.


William: "So, when is the next planet going to be seen?"
Mentome: "Well, from my understanding, we should be close to one in a few minutes."
William: "Good, because this is the last planet we are going to. I want to go back to my own ship and command my own crew."

William looked around, noticing the other tour people doing other things. William then decided to pull out his DS and start playing Meteos. He fired it up and started shooting blocks in the game.

He had questions that he kept to himself. Why was he chosen for this tour? Why were the other people chosen? Why was there a tour to begin with? Those questions repeated in his head a few times as he was playing his game, trying to get them out of his head to no avail.

On the bridge, Captain Years looked at the main panel, grinning as he saw the final planet in sights. Finally, he could get these people out of here and go back to fighting the alien menace that threatened humanity. He waited a few moments before he called up the tourists. He didn't want them on the bridge for long. He hated foreign people, especially civillians not under UNSC control. Having already shown this to other captains by threatening a civillian to shut up or get out of his ship in deep space, he was being monitored really carefully, which was the whole purpose of this tour: as punishment. While he was supposed to send the invites to certain people, he just sent them to random locations, so he wasn't surprised of how strange some of his tourists were. He didn't care, as long as his punishment was over with. He hated avoiding battle.

He waited a minute, and then one of the monitoring stations pulled up an anamoly. Something was revolving around the planet. It couldn't be identified yet, but as they got closer, the object became more clearer on screen. A ring like object, spinning around a planet. What was it?

Mentome sensed that presence, too. She could tell what was going on in the ship, but wasn't allowed to speak of what was happing to the civillians unless it was a matter of life or death for them.


Mentome: "What is that?"
William: "What is what?"
Mentome: "Oh, nothing. Nevermind. I am sure that the captain will be calling us soon."

The guards overlooking the break room could be seen with a surprised look upon their face. They kept silent though, as to not alarm the guests.
-------------------------
OOC: Right now, you introduce your character and AI (optional) as they are in the break room, waiting for the planet to be in view. Halo isn't yet fully in view, and the Covenant are yet to be sighted. The order to go to the bridge hasn't been stated either, so nobody should have weapons as of now, nor should be expecting something like this.
Also, this is my first attempt in the Story Forum, so...

ooc: This sounds like fun. I'm-a gonna join in.

Bored out of his mind because he had nothing to do, Snipes sighed and shook his head. He'd already been to engineering several times to try and break the monotony of the trip, but there wasn't much else he'd be able to do to ease it. Putting his head down on the desk, Snipes sighed again and closed his eyes, weary from the lack of excitement.

EDIT: Aww, come on! This could be a good thread, don't let it die guys!
