We Will Never Die: Rebooted (A Halo Spartan Quest)

And thats all on Gian's shoulders of being the Doctor of the Spartans.

He's just that good.
Gian, the Wonderworker. However... I have to imagine how many would gauge us from the outside and see the devil himself. We are something of a black box for most observers, anomalous to begin with and genuinely dangerous to look too closely at. We break people by talking to them by knowing the cracks in their reason for action, their reason to live, and none can trust that what we say is the plain reality we all walk on or a reality we want to inflict. You end up second guessing yourself and then second guessing your second guessing.

Add in the other elements that come with what we are and the panic attacks really start. Spartans move too smoothly for something our mass, react too quickly, with every motion leaning on both the uncanny valley (this looks like a man but something is wrong here) and outright fight-or-flight (oh god it sees me and its already moved). Then there is the fact that we are seeing at least the outline of your perceptions and thoughts as you are having them and are reacting accordingly, and the laws of physics are subtly 'borked' in our presence...

The Mjolner suit might actually be a humanizing element at this point. How long that lasts once we optimize and integrate is another matter.

More like Gian the Bloody Madlad. Everything he does can quite literally be for the better. but no one understands it until he does something insane just to get their attention.

There are two camps.

There are those who think we are quite possibly the kindest, most empathetic human being who has ever walked the galaxy, whose genius only masks his love for his fellow man, and that we're just... a little bit insane. Not enough to be called such... but enough to be labeled as eccentric.

The other camp thinks were a worse version of doctor Halsey, a child prodigy that quite literally tells all the ethic boards and other stuff to go fuck themselves while we literally force evolution on ourselves and our friends because we're batshit insane and don't want them to die horrible deaths.

And we are quite literally okay with... crazy stuff because we've brainwashed all of our friends to be okay with it.

More like we make them second guess their second-guessing because we plant the thought in their head.

Thats without saying... we're just superhuman in every disernible way.

Except ironically enough in the reproductive way... mostly because only the female spartans have, quite literally a healing factor that stems from their body overproducing stemcells at a rate that would give the human genome project pause.

Like seriously, give them enough time if they are wounded, they can regrow entire organs, replace bone, and even replace their still-beating heart with a better one, before consuming the other heart to make better blood.

Yeah... Female spartans are really close to Primarchs... now that I think about it.

The Mjonler suit is something I am totally waiting for, because by god, the costomization...

Shields, life support systems, and even portable, all-purpose fusion reactors that can be up and replaced at will, meaning everyone has infinite nukes to take out covenent ships?

That's just a sampling of the bullshit that I've come up with.

man each spartan team is going to be a bitch to fight with their specalization.

especially with the Mjonler system...wonder if we can make something good for production soon? i mean war material aint fucking cheap, and if we can find a way to make quality products and maybe get better FTL coms and systems for the UNSC, they wont be rolled over so easily.

Maybe figure out a way to make mobile shipyards to spit out destroyer and frigate ship's for the unsc? it would mean allot more automation as manpower is a big thing needed...

Camp two isn't wrong, even if they don't grasp our motivation entirely. We lack the horror that should make a human being recoil from this sort of thing but, instead, we are going full Cenobite.

And conditioning is as easily done with a gentle hand and a gentle word as by other means. We have a fairly captive audience with little to lose, eager for things to latch onto.

We just, coincidentally, don't intend to exploit our brothers beyond their own empowerment and proliferation. Its a fair reason to fear and, after all, they set the stage for us without thinking this through.

We just got punched in the dick by one of our buddies who can trivially regrow his head, and probably rip off The Flood, because we accidentally called him a girl. I can only imagine a very loud "SHORYUKEN" was heard in coincidence with this event.

With Gian's, I'm wondering how much of our suit is going to be operating on Insane Troll Physics... if not outright imaginary. While the defensive core of the armor needs to work even if we are in a damn coma, I imagine that an ever increasing number of peripherals will be partially psychic constructs. Some of it shouldn't be reproducible without our reality-borking. Its like fighting one of those really weird optical illusions people bandy around on reddit.

[X]Operation Jeweled 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)

Heres a thought though..

If the Spartans have upgraded this much... how much has the Forunner tech and covenant done in response....
Well, Forerunner tech is mostly somnolescent. It is what it is, its isn't going to improve, but it doesn't need to improve. When you burn galaxies and throw around planetary masses of clarketech von neumanns you don't need more tech. We might accidentally wake up more through our motions since we are walking the path of the Precursors, the fear of many Forerunners during their own lifetimes.

As for the Precursors... the Flood will be in full "I AM INTERESTED IN THIS PRODUCT AND/OR SERVICE. TELL ME MORE" mode. They were doing everything we are doing first, I'll bet, but each Spartan taken unlocks a piece of what they once were. They might stop jobbing outright. We would definitely be their favorite shop in the Citadel, though.

And the Covenant's Worms of Treachery would put their fist through every "break glass in case of emergency" panel they have. While probably having to put down internal heresies because of how many weird religious buttons we are pushing all at once. Halo activation wouldn't be on their first page of choices but suddenly a lot of things they have religion (or political tightrope walking) -driven restrictions on would suddenly be given situational exemptions.

There is a small chance we could outright bullshit our way into Covenant membership but it would take a dice roll that would functionally be divine intervention.

I think there is a third camp that just knows were crazy, but in a good way and just wants to ignore us out of fear.

Why do you think you have such magnificent buffs when it comes to the whole Spartan thing... They trust you enough to die for you and follow any plan you have, because, for all they know, it's all part of your plan.

No, but that happened to Will when he called Ralph a girl.

He's okay, but he really does not like to protect his nuts every time he sees Ralph.

you'll see... You'll see.

Yes.
Considering the Halo Arry destroyed the Precoursor Internet and the Forrunners KILLED the Precoursor's as a physical species.

That is something to consider.
... No comment.

I don't really need to say this but I will.

The Covenent has gotten just a hair stronger on the ground...

But we've gotten stronger in Space.

Sorry buddy that ain't happening without the Covenant destroying itself before meeting us.

Now that I have said that, we're now going to be seeing if they do or not.

[X]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.)

Go big or go home

Well it will most likely be like operation nimrod...

only with far more disturbing implications and questions for civilians to ask.
 
Meanwhile during the Hero tooby whenyouseeyou
Meanwhile during the Hero too

The Head of the USNC was relaxing in his personal office as his staff were just coming with the news of the usual problems of both earth and the colonized worlds when a certain one came in.

"Sir, remember the incident with Oni Spartans that made headlines that we needed to cover up." One of the staff said.

"Yes" said the Leader of USNC " What has that Spartan Done now?" His staff gave him the answer and he did not like it NOT ONE BIT!!!

"They seemed to be drunk from celebrating their freedom for the first thing of their lives and may have filmed themselves online singing. The people know except they think they are a band then a secret weapon which is a very good then after all."

The Head Of the USNC looked stern and said after a long silence "Me and the Head of ONI are going to have a long talk about this a LONG talk."
