Just... just... exactly what I needed right now. And much, much better than the so-called wait implied it would be, which to be fair was beyond fantastic. Thanks for being brilliant, Gryphon...

Though I'll say one thing; the thing right at the end, with Tali looking out for the other Halos... Ooooooooooh, got a weird feeling about that one. Considering her background, the potential for massive broadsword-to-the-heartstrings is almost too huge to adequately ignore for the sake of my mental stability.
