All Chapters besides Prologue and Chapter 1 have been Unpublished for Rewrites. Chapters will be republished upon their individual rewrite completion.

It's been 27 years since we lost Harvest. This war has gone to shit. Sure, we win on the ground, but that's pretty damn useless when the Covenant can just retreat to orbit and glass the damn planet. we had over 800 colonies under our control, now we have a few dozen. The Cole Protocol kept the inner colonies safe, until we lost Reach. It kept Earth safe, until a Covenant battle group arrived in orbit. We were sent in to secure the carrier that landed. We weren't expecting what happened next.

This is mainly a Halo HiE Crossover with some elements of Red vs Blue sprinkled in.
