"S5M3 A Song of War: a fragment"
|
A few paces back, the black-clad Valkyrie snapped open the visor of her helmet, looked up at the towering SPARTAN next to her, and said, "Hey, John. Long time." The Master Chief glanced down at her, but if he was surprised to see her, he gave no sign; just nodded cordially and replied, "Shepard." Facing front again, he added conversationally, "Heard you were dead." Shepard shrugged. "I got better. Thought the same about you, though." The Master Chief gave a dry chuckle. "SPARTANs don't get killed," he said, "we just go MIA sometimes." --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Even though I've never played either game, I am especially thankful because you created something for Gryphon and Co. to consume, and now they have have more ammunition to add to their creative stores. To wit: Awesome shit's about to get awesome-r. *evil cackle* -T.Z. ================================================== "I believe that when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Then find someone whose life gives them vodka and have a party." --Ron White, stand-up comedian. ================================================== |

Shepard says that, or variations there of, a fair number of times in ME2 as well. That's where I thought you got it but. shrugs When in Danger, or in Doubt. Run in circles, scream and shout. |

>Which of the authors is a Blue Beetle fan? I haven't bought Ben the third and fourth trades yet. (I loved that series. Taking two years to do the character origin? The 15 point Code Versus Killing moment in the final confrontation? Guy Gardner NOT being a complete jerk for an entire issue? Yeeeeeeeeeees.) -- Geoff Depew - Darth Mephron Haberdasher to Androids, Dark Lord of Sith Tech Support. "And Remember! Google is your Friend!!" |
