Close up on the holographic display.

TRAN

Sir, are you sure?

RECLAIMER

No. Do it anyway. Open it up, and get it ready. Maybe we won't need to use it.

TRAN

You don't believe that.

RECLAIMER

No, I don't believe that.

Camera pulled back out to include the Reclaimer in the frame.

RECLAIMER

Tran, are you able to transfer into my neural lace?

TRAN

Already done, sir. It's been a while since you've done any housekeeping, hasn't it? There's crap all the over the place in here.

TRAN

Scooch over, fellas. Make some roo-

TRAN

Whoa. You have GOT to show me how you did that!

Close up in front of the Reclaimer, the plasma pistol glowing with energy.

RECLAIMER

Tran. Focus, please.

TRAN

Sorry, sir. I've just never seen anything like this. These Cavalcade AIs you picked up are sporting some serious technology to pull off the kind of self-compression they just did without any noticeable impact on performance!

RECLAIMER

I told you -- these guys are from way out of town.

CAVALCADE

It would be meaningless for us to show you our methods. You do not have the level of technology necessary.

The holographic projector with sparks appearing behind it.

TRAN

Alright, fine. I know when I'm getting the brush-off.

RECLAIMER

Sitrep, please, Tran.

TRAN

What level of specificity would you like, sir?

RECLAIMER

Just give me the condensed version. I've been out of contact for a while.

TRAN

One moment.

Very closeup on the hologram.

TRAN

Sir, the UNSC datanets are a mess. It's hard to make sense of it all. The Flood are still tearing hell out of our defenses...

TRAN

...and there's something new. A... this is odd. A virus. It's taking apart certain sectors of our forces, both human and Covenant. The details are pretty sketchy, sir.

TRAN

It seems to have started around Fallout.

Close in on the Reclaimer from his left.

RECLAIMER

Fallout. Isn't that where Standoff Outpost is located?

TRAN

It is, sir. Is that significant?

RECLAIMER

I should think so. We were just there a couple of weeks ago.

    I agree, she kicks ass! But it's only been a few WEEKS??? Come on it's been nearly a year since we last saw Standoff? At least we might get to go back there and finally figure what the heck is going on. So let me just get this straight. For the Calvacada to explain everything to RC, they need portent. Portent went psycho, so we needed tran. To get to tran we needed to fix something. Is that a good summary? WHEN WILL WE FIND PORTENT AND HAVE ALL REVEALED??? :D

    Yay normal schedule! :D
    This will be interesting for Reclaimer. Now he's got another voice in his head! Tran is a refreshing new character since the Cavalcade have been blending and samey (even before they were together for a long time).

    • xSOB a DooBy

        I agree with you too. I still think that the reclaimer is going to make everybody else think he's a skitzo though with the way he keeps talking to the voices in his head.

        Everybody hears a talking person right?

    • Jim Stitzel
      June 17, 2009 at 11:59 am | #

      Yeah, the Cavalcade are pretty 'flat' personalities, relatively speaking.

    Discovery.
    I'm interested in observing how this plays out, Jim.
    You seem to have quite the handle on the Human Condition.
    It is rather impressive that you have managed to channel that energy into something positive and lasting.
    You are a very interesting character, Jim.
    I look forward to seeing how you play out.

        A mentor once said that an author's view of the world is reflected in the approach to writing and art they take.
        So, in theory, one should be able to hypothesize much about the way Jim thinks and how he views life simply by reading and analyzing his works of art here.
        However, It will not be done, even though Jim does such in his work all the time, for the fact that it would be a psychoanalysis, and not being licensed, the practice can not be condoned here.
        Answer your question?

      No exams for me this year! W00t!

      My teachers couldn't finish the curriculum and have exams at the same time this year so most techers choose to either shorten the class and as a result the tests as well, and others decided to just forget finals.

      Best Softmore year in history.

    I like the first panel. The weapon holders purple gravity thingy looks cool with the green of the plasma pistol shot behind it.
    And panel 3 looks like Reclaimer is shooting some paint at the screen and it's just dripping down. :D

    Just curious Jim, what ad service do you use and do they pay per click or per ad?

    • Jim Stitzel
      June 18, 2009 at 11:00 am | #

      Project Wonderful. They pay on a per-pageview basis and I think they do add a little extra in for clicks.
