Well I was expecting ONI to try a takeover but nothing like that everything just went straight to hell didn't it good god you got me very interested to see what will happen next I noticed this hasn't been updated in 2 years is it still being continued

Damn, time to give up the story.
Great story and a lot of development in multiple direction, fuck you even added politics in the covenant. But the story seems dead and I just don't want to grow see more when I know it won't go farther...Thanks for what you did write

Lol there's plenty to find a out the council topping the list their policy of genocide towards the quarian and krogans. Their tolerance of barbarian slavery is another.

The only issue I have with this story is how Lord Hood handled the turians, killing his marines for war crimes.

I imagine he would have been more like. "Allies or not, you people execute one more of my marines absent a UNSC hearing, and we will treat that as an act of war, and we will act accordingly,"

he was okay with them holding his forces in prison. but I honestly feel an alien killing his men would have been too far no matter the crime

UEG is dead at this point. The once glorious superpower from Halo verse on this story have collapsed. Only the UNSC and independent planets can survive the ashes of this civil war incited by a goddamn Reaper.

So not only the Reapers were behind this wretched mess but they are trapped in Slipspace huh. It must be the Forerunners responsible for imprisoning them.

Sad, the ONI ends up like Cerberus. A couple of arrogant idiots who think way over their head.

The Covenant is even more dangerous as it unlike from the canon. With this imperialistic iron fist, the UNSC and Citadel will faced the Covenant with it's full might.

AWESOME!
The story has gotten better than I thought!
The Covenant is even more divided with Xytan taking the reins as the emperor.
This division will take the bulk of the Arbiter, Loyalists and Discovery.

I'm liking more and more of this fanfic.

When is next chapter?

No me termina de gustar esta historia, creo que en lugar de lo que escribiste aquí lo que debería haber es más historias como Halo Mass Effect trials and Tribulations o Divergent Pasts, no ESTO

Other issue is how Saren when he transformed had undergone cybernetic enhancements by Sovereign beforehand. So either the combined UNSC and Citadel can't find cybernetics in a possible POW they have locked down to a medical bed in a medical bay...

Or these Reapers can magically convert nothing but energy into this, when they very clearly never could in canon. So yet another power hike for them.

Really hyping of the Reapers. Too much here I think, we have seen Edi take on Reaper controlled ships and win. We have seen once AI themselves Geth revolt and attack the Reapers.

We have also never once seen a Reaper do what this one did here from a single small artifact. Even full sized we never saw them do this in canon.

All in all you seem to have given them a massive power spike, meaning ME normal would have been steam rolled by them easily. Sovereign would have won it himself within a day if just a small fragment could do this.

In the end at this point of reader? Halo side a slight to mild nerf, ME side a jump in power and capabilities.

" pur files.." sod breaking that they'd be in her ship.

"ONI was planning to.." halsey was a large part of that, which he, the genius soldier, conveniently forgets and fails to discern.

" fire of hope..fight against tyranny..." too naive as a leader.

" lost cause.." holds most population and industry. And he's only confirmed 2 of the over 5 different national factions.

" deprive ONI of fuel.." ONI has the facilities, not them. They'd run out first before they destroy enough transports.

"..tactical nuke.." under 10 kilotons only possible if the round is dropped vertically. It'd still wipe out cities.

" dangerous line...human beings..." emergency governing powers were a thing they had and evidently misused, directly and otherwise. NO ONE in that room deserves to make such choices and they're all smart enough to know it.

" cabinet..constitution.." assigned teams would do so not just him. Too many nuances.

" reduce the power...bureaucracy, checks.." main UEG issue was the senate's slow politics and CMA freedom.

Good note on Turians. Good story overall.
