HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED (2001) dev. Bungie Studios
Cortana, all I need to know is did we lose them? I think we both know the answer to that.

I need to make up a version of this episode where Jacob AND Vannak live.
Everything is the same just those two are around.
Jacob is there to be the Spartan daddy and give Soren a lecture about pirating. And he remembers the ice cream incident of 2519 (that’s a reference to my fic By Your Leave), in case Soren thought that was forgotten. Vannak and Riz get to recover together and stay on Aleria together. Oh yeah and we get to learn about the Keyes/Halsey house of dysfunction.
I’m going to write this in my head as I fall asleep tonight.

Happy birthday to Captain Jacob Keyes!
Today is his -471st birthday!
Tumblr media
It's hard to overstate Keyes' significance during the Insurrection and the Human-Covenant war. During the beginning of his career, he was introduced to Catherine Halsey and was instrumental in selecting candidates for the SPARTAN-II program, though he did not entirely understand the nature of the program, and was sent back to regular duty before it was revealed. During these years, he and Halsey became romantically involved, and she became pregnant with their daughter, Miranda Halsey.
After a brief stint at the Luna OCS Academy following injuries that grounded him, Keyes faced off against Insurrectionists in key battles at Charybdis IX and the Rubble. During this period, he also agreed to take custody of Miranda, who Halsey felt she could no longer adequately care for. As she aged, Miranda grew to resent her mother and changed her last name to her father's, while also following in his footsteps by joining the UNSC.
Keyes led a decisive and rare victory against the Covenant during the battle of Sigma Octanus. However, the aftermath was dire: after the battle, a Covenant spy probe followed Keyes' ship, inadvertently leading the Covenant to Reach. During the assault that followed, Keyes was tasked with keeping the AI Cortana out of Covenant hands, as Dr. Halsey believed that the data she contained would be the only way to stop the Covenant after Reach fell.
Keyes fled Reach with the Pillar of Autumn, as Cortana navigated them to Installation 04--the first Halo known to humanity. The Covenant followed Keyes to the ring and he was forced to crash-land the Pillar of Autumn onto its surface. Keyes then led the surviving crew through the ring, though a traitor in their midst caused them to be captured by the Covenant. He was held captive and tortured until he was rescued by Master Chief.
The group split up again, with Keyes leading those under his command to where they believed they would find a Covenant weapons cache. Instead, they found the Flood, and were quickly overwhelmed by this new enemy. Keyes was infected and the Flood quickly recognized him as someone of importance. For this reason, his body and consciousness were added to a growing proto-Gravemind. His infected body was later found by the Master Chief, who broke through his skull to retrieve his neural implant.
His medals were posthumously awarded to his daughter, in recognition of his bravery and legacy.

it has just dawned on me that the Commander from Shadow the Hedgehog is very obviously inspired by Captain Keyes and I don't know how to feel about it

Alright m’dears, I’ve finished Halo: Fall of Reach and officially started Halo: Silent Strike, so prepare for spoilers.
Spoilers ahead
.
.
.
First, had no idea Silent Strike was Fred’s point of view, I’m kicking my feet, I’m so excited. I’m only 2 chapters in and Fred’s so precious, he’s just a nervous big little guy that will get the job done. And Kelly, I swear she’s always ready to throw hands, 10/10.
Now, for Fall of Reach, buckle up, it’s a ride.
I won’t lie, it took me a good 4-5 days to read, I had a hard time getting into it. It was good, I loved the development of lore but it wasn’t keeping me on the edge of my seat till the end. Halsey was such an interesting character to read and seeing the way Cortana was later questioning the things her creator did was fascinating. Especially with the Spartan program, like it’s messed up but it did what Halsey said it was going to do. I love the way it explored moral wrong decisions vs the choice that had to be made. Halsey cares for her Spartans but they were made to die for humanity, so does that make her a monster? Or someone with a duty to complete? I can’t remember who said it in the book but they said something among the lines “someone who didn’t care for them, could’ve been in charge of the project instead of you.” I have thoughts about Halsey that go back and forth.
Sam’s death was sad, like I’m still upset about it. I understand why they killed him off but man, come on. The fact that John couldn’t look back or else he would’ve stayed to die with Sam made me close the book and let out a long sigh, I was so sad for them. But also a huge character development for John and Kelly, I never see anyone talking about Kelly’s character development after this. Personally, I feel like this is why Kelly’s always the first to volunteer, why she’s always thinking so fast and reacting before she fully thinks through some of her actions. I will revise this once I finish Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.
The Keyes loop was interesting and smart as hell but after that I didn’t really care, I loved Keyes in the game and the beginning of the book, but I found him a little boring later. Like where’s Miranda? What about Halsey and Keyes’ love affair? The drama? The tea? Where is it? Like seriously, they got a kid together and nothing, I thought that was weird.
AND LINDA’S DEAD??? I’m sorry, what? I know she lives but I wasn’t really ready for it, I had to close my book and walk away. I did infact shout and hit my coworker with the book in disbelief when it happened. And poor John thinks he’s the only one left, this man’s going through it. Also hate the way James died, that was awful.
I have more thoughts that I can’t remember and will do a reread later with annotations, so there will be a part two when I finish reading all the books. A year later lol.
Thanks for joining my Ted Talk.

Youre fine with them ruining Keyes and making him black?
Do I have an issue with a man being black No, no I don't.
Has Danny Sapani been a bad fit for the character they wanted him to be in the show? No, not at all I actually quite enjoy his role. So I dont think theyve ruined anything since it has nothing to do with the lore we already know so,
PSA: THEY TOLD US THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW ESTABLISHED LORE!!!

So I know I am extremely late to this party but like, does anyone find it weird that there's a Halo character called Keyes and another one called Locke? And that one is called Jacob and the other Jameson? No? Just me? ok
