Well, I'd say that the night in Gladsheim was pretty cool.  Some things I can't wait to find out are what will happen to the refugees now that they are being evacuated.  (hmmm... perhaps a few banshees will pester them, what do you think?)

Another thing that I would want to write about are the things leading up to the events of Halo Wars and perhaps touching a little more on stuff from Joseph Staten's "Contact:  Harvest"

One thing I'm wondering about right now:  Paruto.  Duma has mentioned that Paruto 'Vadamee is a Shipmaster but we've already mentioned his status as an Ossoona.  Now, according to cannon the assignment of Ossoona is most often given to Majors since they aren't too green (unlike Minors) but they often don't have the ego that comes with being higher ranks.  Would it be possible that Paruto could be an exception to this or perhaps have been given the mission of Ossoona before the Council and Hierarchs enacted this rule of thumb?

Oh, we're not nearly done with Harvest yet, my friend. We'll go groundside a few more times, plus I want to detail some space combat.

On the topic of Paruto, let me sit down and look at it and I'll decide. Paruto is a non-cannon character, no?

EDIT: Ok so here's the deal. Yes, it is entirely plausible that Paruto 'Vadamee is a Shipmaster and an Ossoona...providing that Paruto was a Major. But being as Shipmaster is a Zealot class, it is less likely that this is true. So Duma, sorry mate but you got your canon details mixed up here. So we're going to have to take Paruto off of either Shipmaster status or Ossoona status. I'll leave it to be your pick.

Back at Eaite, I want to take this all the way through Reach. We'll decide where to go from there. We'll definitely touch on Halo Wars and if we're going to do Contact: Harvest...I need to read it first :P So don't worry, we'll cover it ;)

Eaite Randjam

Well, just a heads-up, Contact:  Harvest occurs before our roleplay.  It's a good read, and Joseph Staten did a good job for his first published book...

But yeah, if we "re-visit" some of the events from the book, I'd be happy.

And sorry for sorta picking on your writing lately, Duma.   :-[

'

to get you off my back, yes he was a major prior to the events in this forum and was turned shipmaster shortly before given the class of Ossoona. Because of his history, the prophet decided he was best for the job and gave it to him. No i will not get rid of either status unless it is absolutely necessary....which i do not think it is. sorry Chris. unless you force it, it ain't happening.

While I'm thinking of it, could you make a character profile of Paruto since he a major character at the moment?

Mako

Yeah do that. And welcome Apxa. Our newest member. Don't eat him, please.

If the colors that bind,
Were to unwind,
Would I still be safe,
Within my mind?

Alright, now that I've got that book of a post out of the way, feel free to expound. Eajite, you may need to change the times in your post, though I think they fit with a rushed plausibility. Just give it a check.

EDIT: My book of a post was my 999th post, and this was my 1000th :D

Eaite Randjam

I'll take a look over your post and adjust accordingly

By the way, Congtrats on your 1000th post.  I've got a way to go...

Okay, so I moved the Covenant meeting closer to 0600 hours.  Tell me if that's better.

So...Sä'nek told me that a distress call was sent out. If true (=P), what did it say, and when was it sent out?

It was sent at 0610 Hours and said "Attentention all neighboring vessels on UNSC E-Band restricted frequencies, this is a distress call from Vice Admiral Cole on the UNSC Tharsis. We are about to engage the Covenant in the Harvest system, request backup from any friendly craft within an hour slipspace jump. Please respond immediately." after which it then repeats.
