I mean, half the point was that she had a deal that was never fulfilled. What's the deal?

I don't have a nice pig to impress the local airhead in my possession. Reblogging anyway, but the point stands.

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

My two bits on the AI Vader voice situation:

Just because the voice generation was okayed by the original actor doesn't mean the rest of us have to approve of it, or support works that use it

I don't play Fortnite in the first place, but I definitely intend to avoid any product that uses AI generated lines going forward.

Even setting aside if you feel it is tasteless or not, I have to have reservations about the precedent it creates. Several perfectly good VAs won't be considered for the job anymore because they can just plug the lines into the generator.

Halo:  Remnant Prologue 

Halo:  Remnant  

Prologue 

RWBY/Halo crossover

"What happened?"

Lights flickered on in the dark, emanating from the scorched and battered helmet of Master Chief John 117.  He looked around, seeing debris floating in the zero gravity of space.  Pushing off a nearby bulkhead he moved down the hall toward a light source.

"I'm not sure."  Cortana's voice spoke directly in his head.  "When Halo fired it shook itself to pieces.  Did a number on the Ark."  The AI postulated as Chief reached the end of the hallway.  "The portal couldn't sustain itself.  We made it through just as it collapsed.  

What was left of the hallway at least.

"Well, some of us made it."  The Forward Unto Dawn looked like it had been sliced by a hot knife.  A nearly perfect cut running the ship from top to bottom, leaving several decks exposed to open space.  

It was quite a spectacle, but even so Master Chief found his attention drawn to a sight far beyond it.  "And what about that?"  A planet, Earth like in its blues and greens.  It even had a single lunar satellite.  

But unlike the Moon of Earth, this one was shattered, half of it broken into massive chunks that hovered near the main body.  

"Right...  That."  Cortana doublechecked her data, the AI equivalent of a steadying breath.  "I'll need to do some more scans to say for sure, but the orbit is stable.  Whatever happened was a long time ago."

"More importantly, we have a problem."  Cortana brought up a display in Chief's visor.  "The distress beacon was damaged during our escape."  A cross section of the beacon appeared, parts of it red.  "We can't send any signal without it."

"Can it be repaired?"

"Not with what we have on hand.  But..."  She brought up a new display, this one of the planet floating beneath them.  "There's signs of life down there.  Radio signals, electronic responses, artificial lighting on the night side."  Each bit of info was brought up on the display.  

It took a few seconds to process that.  "Did we reach one of the colonies?"  Chief asked, turning back into the ship to catalog and collect gear.

"Not one on any record I have."  Cortana noted.  "And a colony with a busted moon would have stood out."

"Covenant?"

"Not unless they started communicating in English."  She brought up a garbled feed, likely a stray radio wave.  It was barely legible but strings of words could be made out.  

"- special event- *zzzt*- tal festi-*zzzt*- preparations under-"

That was enough for the Chief.  He would obviously need to gather more intel when they got planetside, but-  "Even on the off chance they are Insurrectionists, we can still find what we need there."

"Ever the optimist."  Cortana went quiet before displaying a map to the Dawn's hanger.  "There's a drop ship that should be able to get us planetside and perform takeoff again."

As Chief continued to grab every piece of ammo and equipment he could find, Cortana continued.  "Try to pack light.  The fuel in that shuttle will only get us so far if you want enough burn to escape atmo."

"I'll keep that in mind."  Chief responded, but continued to gather whatever he could carry.  Which in zero g was a lot.  “What about the Dawn?”

“I’ve already started reducing power.”  Cortana noted.  “Scanners won’t pick us up, though we’ll have to hope anyone looking up with something stronger than a backyard telescope mistakes us for part of the moon’s debris field.”  

“Now who’s the optimist?”   

The shuttle in question, a Pelican drop ship variant he didn't quite recognize, was locked down in one of the Dawn's hangers.  The windows were a little dirty and debris had to be moved out of the way, but it seemed no worse for the wear.  "Run preflight diagnostics, I'll get the lights."  Cortana started securing every door and nonvital system she could access.

Chief spun up the Pelican's engines and not five minutes later they were out the hanger.  He stayed in the pilot seat a few moments before handing autopilot over to Cortana.  

The two sat in silence with each other before Chief reached into one of his pouches and pulled out a set of dog tags.  

"Sergeant Johnson's tags?"  Cortana noted.  "I didn't know you had time to grab them."

"Barely."  Chief responded.  The sudden death of Johnson zipped through his head.  They'd been working together almost as long as he'd been working with Cortana, and he had to force down a pang of grief.  "Did he have anyone to return these to?"

"According to his records, no."  Cortana noted.  "He once said in an interview that the Corp. were his family."

That sounded very much like Johnson.  Chief tucked the tags back away and looked out the window.  "ETA to land?"  He asked, refocusing.

"A couple hours at least.  I don't want to burn too much fuel on approach so I am heading for a nearby spot.  Landing zone will end up being close to sunset."  Cortana explained.  "Might as well try and get some rest.  I know you haven't slept since the Ark."

Chief avoided sighing and leaned back in the pilot seat.  She was right, going into unknown, possibly hostile territory called for a clear head.  "Wake me.  If you need me."  

As her Spartan settled into his power nap, Cortana continued her scans, getting data from the Dawn's sensors while they were still in communication range.  She ran calculations and predictions and plans for every scenario her particularly advanced mind could think of, a number that grew with each mote of data that came in.

Some of said data left her rather stunned.  "Curious."

Ground level, the ruins of Mountain Glenn

The sun was setting faster than Ruby Rose would have liked, the growing darkness making it hard to see anything approaching team RWBY's camp.  Not that the creatures of Grimm were known for being subtle in most cases, but she also had to keep an eye out for White Fang members.  Presuming any of the Faunus turned criminals had the nerve to walk around in the dark.

Ruby sighed and checked her scroll.  Still over an hour before her watch was over, but at least she could go straight to sleep afterwards.  She could hear her teammates talking in the distance, sounded like most of them weren't getting much sleep tonight.

"Unlike my favorite fuzzball, who seems to be able to sleep anywhere."  She gave her corgi, Zwei, a gentle pet.  The dog kicked his little feet gently but didn't wake from the touch.  With a sigh Ruby cast her sight skyward. 

One positive about this blasted landscape was the lack of lights gave her a perfect view of Remnant's broken moon hanging in this sea of stars.  The lights twinkling and... moving?

"A shooting star?"  No, it was lasting too long for that.  She peeked at it through Crescent Rose's scope.  It wasn't a comet, the silhouette seemed to be...

"Guys?  I think there's an airship coming in?"  Ruby called to her still awake team.  

There was a "whoosh" sound and their Huntsman escort/history teacher was at her side.  "Can you identify the make?"  Dr. Oobleck asked.  Ruby shook her head and pointed to the slowly growing fireball.  "Curious..."  He pulled a telescope of his own and peered through it.  "Quite curious."  

After an uncomfortably long moment of silence Oobleck seemed to come to a decision.  "Pack up camp ladies, I'm afraid sleep is canceled for now."  He zipped around, grabbing what he could.  

"What's going on?" Yang Xiao Long asked.

"Unsure.  Unidentified craft coming down in Mountain Glenn."  Oobleck noted.  "Could be related to the criminal group we are tracking."

"And if it isn't?"  Weiss Schnee asked, suppressing a yawn.

"Then they are about to land in Grimm infested territory and will require aid."  Oobleck finished packing his gear and poured water over the fire.  "Either way, we need to get on top of things before the situation escalates, let alone interferes with our mission."

"So much for things going to plan."  Blake sighed.

To be continued...

First part of a Halo/RWBY crossover I had toying around in my head for a long while.

Also like, the fourth crossover I find myself working on. Go me?
