He's not a hero, he's a ridiculous, angsty wannabe teenage dumbass.

And bureaucrats couldn't take over. There is hardly anyone left and they're a warrior society. Even without the warrior part, it would definitely be, at best, a military dictatorship to keep order and leadership straight.

He's "tormented" because he's a reckless, pathetic, childish idiot and the consequences of his downright Anakin levels of moronic decisions are what is called "torment" here.

"You cannot win, Demon!"
Shoots her.
She dies.
It's amazing how often enemies don't think of you simply killing them. Especially when they have no way to stop you from simply blowing their brains out right then and there.

This R'vek guy is a problem and danger to his own people and his allies. He's very lucky he wasn't punished, quite severely, for the damage he caused and his attack. If anyone had been harmed, the UNSC likely would have demanded his head and quite happily killed any Elites that got in the way of taking it for themselves.

Yeeeah...he can't suspend someone. Especially not for simply having an opinion that said someone did not make any attempt to act on. Especially especially when that opinion is objectively true and would probably get the dumbass bothering him about it killed by "accident" for punishing the other guy for voicing. Even aside from not remotely having the authority. It's more likely he'd be considered insane or a potential traitor or just criminally stupid for thinking the Sangheili are remotely innocent. Especially especially especially since their whole species, literally, participated (quite gleefully) in trying to exterminate humanity. And they didn't stop due to finding out they were lied to. They stopped because they became the Covenant's target, too. A big distinction that no doubt would be very strong in peoples' minds.

Fridge Amusement: When you realize the trainer was surprised because the idea of someone surviving a fight against the Master Chief is literally unthinkable.

when is part 19 coming?

M'galekgolo cannot be taken over by the Flood, since they have no central nervous system. They are one of the few species that are completely immune to the Flood's mind control. This is, however, not well known... but still, thought I'd let you know, since it's non-canon.

The covenant: "Kig-yar are weak. What with their, having gotten to the point of colonizing the asteroids in their system while humans where trying to figure out gunpowder without even a single forerunner artifact on Eyan, their, light build making for the ultimate runners climbers and hit dodgers, they are weak, not worth the plasma bolts to shoot at them."

Also the covenant: "That is why we fear what would happen if we spent more time training them in our military and giving them better ships."

Btw: Awww its so adorable how female Jyn is.

Damn man, thats a good story, but why leave us all on a cliffhanger? Really would be cool if you wrote more, it would be cool to know what happens, also dont let the haters get to u! Please Continue! For all of us. Would be awesome if you did.

Where are the updates?

M'glekgolo can't be infected by the Flood. They can probably be used for their biomass, but the worms that comprise them don't have central nervous systems, so they can't be controlled by infection forms.

Wait it's been 5 years and idk if your still active but will you soon continue

Nooooo what happened to jyn

Will you be making anymore installments of this series of the ring dear lord it's the best fanfic and I've been waiting for months to see if there will be a new addition

Like the story, however, hunters cannot be infected. Ever. Due to their gestalt colonial status per 'individual' and the fact that each individual Hunter worm is smaller than an infection form, trying to infect a hunter is impossible.
