That is some crazy high tier reality warping. It has to be some sort of networking between our powers or some background mechanic operating in tandem with them.
We have spooky action at a distance, luck manipulation, and precognition under the same roof. Those networked together, without touching any of the other abilities, more or less would give you Tzeentch as your spirit guardian. Shit would 'JUST AS PLANNED' into place through minuscule Rube Goldbergian effects.
Good bird. And... well... hopefully we live to see the return of this game. 2020 isn't over yet.

Since the vote isn't closed yet.
It's just occurred to me that the spoiler traits we picked up from the festival mean that improving our general plan making/strategic ability is something of a priority, as the leaders of other squads will defer to us if there are multiple squads on the field.
Something to think about at least.

-[X]Battlefield Tactics: You are going to learn how to command people on the battlefield.
To say that learning the tactics of modern war was easy would be an understatement.
Learning how to command a team that trusts you absolutely? That was just icing on the proverbial cake.
And Mendez said it would be hard.
Reward: Battlefield Tactics is set to Spartan Rank.
-[X]Information Warfare: You want to learn how to use computers to destroy the enemy.
Sigma for his part was eager for you to learn such a valuable skill. "I have prepared programs for you to hack through." He proclaimed.
"And if I fail them?" You asked.
"I'll make sure the good doctor gets some blackmail material on you." He stated.
"You know, for an AI-based off my own brain, I'm rather surprised that you wish to screw me over." You replied.
Sigma smiled. "Maybe it is how Light just thinks of this relationship. One of comedy and continued pushing forward."
Light just quipped. "It's true."
Reward: Information warfare is now set to spartan level.
-[X]Starship Tactics: You want to learn how to lead a battlefleet. It feels… right.
There is one thing you took away from that class.
Space isn't an ocean… it is a total battleground where all three hundred and sixty degrees are needed… to be accounted for, and that almost every human alive seems to forget that, treating their own ships as ships of line on the ocean.
And you made sure that your thesis on ship combat gets read… by every fucking officer on Luna.
Reward: Starship Tactics is now at spartan Level.
-[X]Spycraft: You want to be a Spy.
You smiled. That was all it took to be a spy.
Being noticeable, with a kind smile.
Although, dressing up as a scientist, and acting like Light also helped you to sneak into the ONI research facility in the Mountains of Reach also helped.
Who knew having a past life was something that could help you be a spy?
Reward: Spying is now set to Spartan Level.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You and your comrades stood at attention as Mendez walked forward.
"You are the first generation of possibly the greatest project ever convinced by Man. To turn you all into the perfect soldiers. To protect humanity and all her colonies. We have given you weapons, training, and in some way, the new powers you have been imbued with."
Everyone looked at you for a brief moment. They knew exactly what that meant.
"But you are all now part of the navy. You are no longer trainees. You will be entrusted with completing the mission that will be given to you., and with it, keep the peace throughout the Colonies."
He gave a salute. All the Spartans did as well. "Congratulations Spartans." He stated.
And there was silence. There was no need to celebrate… for you had all done so already… by surviving.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your father was quiet as he walked towards you. "Gian."
"Father." You stated as you walked forward. There was no one around, and outside was a nice warm temperature.
It was beautiful. Both your dress uniforms were immaculate, and while he was covered in Ribbons, you only had three. Basic training completion, marksmanship, and honor graduate ribbons.
Though both of you knew, you were not interested in any rewards, or awards. At least from the UNSC.
"How does it feel?" He asked.
"No longer being a Trainee? Or knowing that I will be out doing missions for a government who kidnapped me?" You stated.
Your father smiled. "About being an adult… you are no longer a child anymore… not in their eyes… and certainly not in mine." He sighed. "I wished I could have protected you better… and stop all this."
You gave your own smile. "It doesn't matter about the things you couldn't do. It's what you did… you never gave up… and you found me again. No one else did. And you helped me… and my friends. That's a gift that is worth me being away from you."
Your father held out his hand. "Until we meet again." He stated.
You took it. "Are you going to clamor for me to get you some grandkids?" You asked.
That allowed the man to laugh. It was a "Find someone you care about… as much as you care about them… then we'll talk about Grandkids."
He then handed over a piece of paper. "If you ever want some revenge on ONI… Call that number." He stated.
"Revenge?" You asked.
"There are people at ONI who deserve to burn for what they've done to you… and your friends." He stated. "It is just if you believe Revenge is a luxury you can afford to take."
He then began to walk away.
And you didn't need to read his mind to realize it was the last time you would see him for a long time… maybe forever. "Goodbye, dad." You found yourself whispering.
"Goodbye son." His reply was only heard through his mind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mendez allowed all of you to celebrate…
It was just a quiet ceremony and you decided to liven it up.
You had made sure all the booze was Kelly certified because she did not want to babysit everyone.
And it was fun, but John was the one who finally spoke, to end it.
"I think we all know who to thank for saving us… For allowing us to be friends, to be comrades… and far more than what our masters and superiors wanted us to be."
Everyone looked at you. "You helped us Giancarlo… and we thank you for everything."
"Plus we got bitchen superpowers… what's not to love about that." Sam quipped.
And the Spartans cheered. For you.
All Spartans Gain the Trait:
We Will Never Die: You have survived the Trauma of your life, unchosen by yourselves, but brought forth by those whom you consider your friends. You will never die, as long as you are all together. Something within you all prevents that from happening, whether it was part of the augmentations... or just something that was within you all along. (While fighting with other spartans, No spartan can die or get killed in action. They can only die alone... or if they all fall together)
All Spartans are now the Rank of Petty Officer Second Class.
Giancarlo gains the Trait:
Heart of Spartans: You are... the one who has brought them all together, that has made them realize that without you... they would be nothing but Tools with no real humanity. You are their heart... You are the Spartans' very soul. (You are the most highly valued and respected of all the Spartans. They look to you for Leadership and strength. When John, Kirk, Fred, Maria, or Serin are not leading Spartans, they automatically follow your orders. +100 to all battle rolls.)
What is your First Mission:
[]Operation Fire Pyre: The mission is rather simple. You will be infiltrating the enemy base on Epsilon Enduris One, and eliminating the Rebel Cell there. ONI has given you fifth freedom, to do whatever you deem necessary to make that happen. (You will be leading Purple Team)
[]Operation Wilting Rose: Your mission is to protect Prominent UGE Senator, Fabiana Rose while she is touring the outer Colony World of New Jerusalem. We have solid intel that there is going to be an attempt against her life by… an unknown Insurrectionist Group. Mrs. Rose has been a vocal critique of UGE policy in the outer colonies… We need to keep her alive. (You will be second in command of Team Blue.)
[]Operation Jagged Stars: There is a Traitor in ONI… We need you and your team to find it. Gian, you're coming in on this one… we need bait. (You will be a member of Fireteam Green and Fire Team Red.)
[]Operation Jewled Viper: Halsey needs your help in stealing something from the Classified Vaults from ONI. She only needs you Giancarlo… mostly because she will be able to have deniability if it's just you… and the good Admiral would never try to kill you if she captured you. (You will do this mission alone, with only Sigma and Light as Backup)
[]Operation Devil's Hammer: THere has been an insurrectionist uprising on Harmony, they are trying to overthrow the local government… it's time for the Spartans to reveal themselves to the Public. (You will be second in command of the Spartan Group to deal with the Uprising.)

Hmmm...as tempting as it would be to go on a Mission with Jon, I think we should do our first Mission with our Buddies from Purple Squad.

Also, is that supposed to be Jeweled Viper?
