The Reclaimer crouching along a wall on the top of the Narrows.

CAVALCADE

It worked. Intuitive Portent's defense systems have been offlined.

RECLAIMER

You sound surprised.

CAVALCADE

We did not expect such a primitive technology as yours to be able to subvert our own so easily.

Alternate angle of the Reclaimer.

RECLAIMER

To be fair, Tran couldn't have done it by herself.

CAVALCADE

And she is still there, alongside Portent?

RECLAIMER

She is. It's just that the copy she made of Portent's programming supersedes its own, and so she is able to take temporary control.

The Reclaimer looking down the ramp at Portent's form.

CAVALCADE

Have you used this technique for infiltration before?

RECLAIMER

No, never -- but once upon a time, I thought I might need to in order to circumvent and undermine Insurrectionist systems.

RECLAIMER

I never thought I'd be using it on something older than human civilization.

Reclaimer standing a short distance from Portent.

CAVALCADE

it is safe to approach now. We should collect Portent and get away from this place.

CAVALCADE

We have already devoted far too much time here as it is.

RECLAIMER

Hey, not my fault. If you fellas would all get your acts together, this might go a lot easier.

CAVALCADE

We are as surprised as you by Portent's resistance.

The Reclaimer standing just a few steps from Portent.

CAVALCADE

We do not understand why it would object so strenuously.

CAVALCADE

For millenia, we have desired nothing more than to be reunited once again, as a fully functional Unity.

CAVALCADE

And now, on the cusp of achieving that reunification...

CAVALCADE

...to have Portent resist so strongly -- it causes us some small amount of alarm.

Overhead shot of the Reclaimer standing before Portent.

CAVALCADE

Please, Reclaimer, collect Portent and allow us to sort out the cause of Portent's aberra--

Intuitive Portent

Fools!

INTUITIVE PORTENT

Do you know what you have done?

            Because by the looks of things, Portent isn't and possibly never was crazy. There is obviously a very specific reason Portent was shooting at them. It may be that Portent has figured out at least part of Ferials plans for them and knew that without the Calvacada, there was a big chance of stuffing up Ferials plans. But where this will lead should be very interesting :p

        It does look very similar. And that would certainly explain Portent's actions, but… that seems too easy of an answer, to be honest.

      • Jim Stitzel
        July 25, 2009 at 12:25 am | #

        In this case, it's just a coincidence. It happens to be a very good font for expressing outrage with a violent chill.

          Portent is not happy that RC has just got Ferials plans back on track… And would you? For the record, Portent is the sane one. The insane one is still in RC's head being… slightly less insane.

    • Jim Stitzel
      July 24, 2009 at 4:54 pm | #

      But it's just a tiny twist, more of a cliffhanger, really. :)

            Why he's screwing with your feelings. Oh and if this isn't a plot twist, then I'm sure Jim will reveal it all in good time. And Portent almost definitely knows what Ferial is up to. Queue scary music!!!

      I don't like that quote from arby. I think that the best one is "What would you have your Arbiter do?"

      Besides, Half-Jaw is cooler.

      Arby does have some cool lines on floodgate though.

            Meh it is, but it was so over exaggerated. More people have died from the normal flu this year than swine flu. And those that have died are very old very young or have a pre existing medical condition. So I don't think there is a real problem. Anywhere…

            Well maybe the fact that you only have three colours to work with between 7 Calvacada. And it is a moot point, I generally find it is completely irrelevant, because it really doesn't matter :p

        I hope you don't use that word lightly because it took like 50 comics and half a year, and I'm sure that you didn't intend it to take so long. Technically, Reclaimer just recently visited the Machine but I barely remember that conversation.

        I half hope that the rest of your plot scenarios are this long and half hope that they don't.

    Hey, do you think that's Tran speaking through Portent? Has she maybe found out something by looking through all of Portent's data and stuff? That was my first impression, but maybe Portent just overpowered Tran and it's still him talking…whatever happened, I can't wait until we find out!

    I think Portent knows just exactly what is going on. I think what happened was Ferial tried to boobytrap the old program, and he failed, and in doing so Portent realized fully Ferial's plans… I also think that Portent beleives the only way to really stop Ferial is to halt the reconnection of the Cavalcade.

    Portent isnt as crazy as he seems. He's smart… and he probably knows more about what is going on than any of the other programs put together.

    Did I get it right?

    Hey Jim. I have been following the series and have gotten up to Program: Dreamstate. I really like this series. Sometimes I think you're actually drawing this yourself! Well, anyway, I'd like to point out a few things.

    When Ferial was talking about his "failed experiment", that being the Flood, I told myself, "The Flood could not be made. They are viral organisms that can mutate in horrendous ways, and they are extragalactic. There is no way they could be created by anyone." But then, when Machine said that Ferial was Precursor, it clicked. The Precursors were at the highest tier on the Forerunner Technological Achievement Tree, as they could travel from galaxy to galaxy and move entire planets. This gave me the idea that maybe, just maybe, the Precursors had something to do in the Flood infection. Much of their background is unknown.

    I am still trying to piece together what happened at Dreamstate. Here's what I think happened:
    The UNSC Marines were deployed to a battlefield to engage in an unknown enemy, maybe the Covenant, I dunno, but Virus killed them off in its Infection stage, after being purged from the Slipspace Array by Viper. Am I right?

        So what were UNSC Marines doing charging out of their Pelicans and dying right on the spot?

        Also, I watched what happened to Ferial after he got owned by Reulard. How could, with the flick of a switch, Ferial kill an ONI AI? And wouldn't the ONI know what happened to him if he was reporting to them?

        Also, can you come up with something better for Viper-1 than "Corporal Jenkins"?

    I am going to try to add a little twist into my comic called "The Reclaimers" (I created the idea months ago—I did not steal it). It's about a group of Spartans who are fighting an unknown enemy they found locked inside of Forerunner ruins on Mars (this taking place in 2556). Also, a renegade band of Humans severely opposed to the UNSC is seeking revenge, and the Spartans manage to fall right into it.
