Reclaimer – A Halo 3 Comic

The Reclaimer exiting a Todash Portal.

TRAN

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your AI speaking.

TRAN

We're currently experiencing some unexpected turbulence...

TRAN

...but we will be landing in a few moments.

The Todash Portal collapsing behind the Reclaimer.

TRAN

Local time is... daylight, and the temperature is a balmy -12 degrees Celcius.

TRAN

Please watch your step, and thanks for flying the negative space.

The Reclaimer standing before a solid wall.

RECLAIMER

Are you quite done, Tran?

TRAN

{ahem}

TRAN

I'm sorry, sir. Yes, sir. Quite done.

TRAN

But admit it -- you were amused.

The Reclaimer on the move.

RECLAIMER

Back on task, Tran.

TRAN

Affirmative. Actually, I want you to hear this.

Recording

Sherif blahn et on fargual pilego shaoneo.

RECLAIMER

Very pretty. What is it?

The Reclaimer standing with a waterfall as the backdrop.

TRAN

It's a snippet of the communications I picked up right before we left the tether.

RECLAIMER

Can you translate it?

TRAN

I'm sorry, sir. I've run it through every linguistic program I know. Whatever it is doesn't decipher.

The Reclaimer walking through a corridor.

RECLAIMER

Some encryption we're not aware of yet?

TRAN

I don't think so, sir. There's a pattern there. I just can't pin it down.

TRAN

What's most troublesome to me is that human, Covenant, and Flood alike are all speaking it.
