This is the good, or the virtuous side of the Spartan known as Jack-024. There'll be another poster soon depicting his... other side. Jack is holding up a kinetic shield using a combination of his biotic and energy manipulation (meta-gene) powers to protect these marines in a fallen pelican from a large Geth force composing of both Geth Titans (huge, mecha sized Geth larger than the primes) and the ordinary Geth Troopers.

The image and story is based on my new OC

Story:

Planet: New Harmony

Time: 2183

So, my name's Jack... don't remember my last name like most of my friends. You wanna know about this picture, right? Where was it taken? Well, you see, at this stage of my career I was being pursued by the Office of Naval Intelligence for abandoning my missions and going AWOL, I really hadn't been on the run long though, a couple months really, still settling into my new life. What I did was considered a federal offence in line with treason, despite the fact that I never volunteered for what I did. Apparently I owed them loyalty I had no choice in giving. It's like finding out your parents gave you up for adoption but instead of adoption you got to be manufactured into a sociopath. As far as I was concerned, I was a slave running from an oppressive empire, that was fighting another more oppressive empire. And I still think that. I wasn't concerned with the other Spartans who stayed and did their jobs or duty, whatever you want to call it, I understood why they did. They had good, noble reasons. I saw what the Covenant was doing everyday back when I was on the front lines, and I hated it. Despite all of my power though, I still felt powerless when it came to the war.

It didn't matter how many Sangheili I butchered, how many ships I destroyed or targets I hit, the Covenant empire just kept on coming and ONI kept throwing Spartans at it like darts at a wall... we were poking holes sure, but it wasn't going to bring the wall down. When I had that little epiphany... that no one man, no matter how much power he had, could stop something like that, I gave up. I mean I was still going to die one day right? Aren't I entitled to do it on my own terms? Or do I deserve the same fate all of those headhunters ONI uses get, an energy sword through the abdomen? That's where all of my jobs were back in the day, deep, deep in Covenant territory, I was a solo act where there was no humanity. It was lonely and I didn't like it, talking to yourself gets old. Besides, it's not like humanity was really at stake... there's no way the Federation or the Council were going to let the Covenant erase us completely, and they could have Earth. Fuck it. Earths full of rich upperclass snobs who don't give a shit about me or you. So, where was I? Oh yeah, I was hiding out on New Harmony, a nice little colony, quiet and peaceful... a couple of places to have fun at but nothing too flashy, so when the Geth showed up to cause trouble it didn't do me any goddamn favours I tell you that much. I was at a bar in civilian gear when the news hit the stations, and it pissed me the fuck off! Two goddamn weeks I'd been there and these assholes had to ruin the best day I was having so far, fuck the Geth. I ran back to my apartment at my... "unnatural speeds," raised more than a few eyebrows but luckily everyone was more concerned with the impending doom that was coming. I put on my armour as quickly as I could and took to the street to help the local UNSC boys repel the attack. The colony had a sizeable garrison of Marines who I could help out.

I ran my way towards where the Geth landed, after being on the street for five minutes I received a call on my suits personal channel from some Marine Colonel wondering what the fuck a Spartan was going on his colony. I told him I'd help him and his boys out if he didn't tell anyone above him that I was here, he was quiet for a couple seconds, I was told later that he was utterly shocked by the strange request, I immediately set off a lot of warning bells but they knew they were outmatched by the Geth, they needed me, so... politics I guess. They transmitted me the coordinates to where they thought they needed me the most.

As soon as I made it to the first wave of the assault I saw the downed Pelican, I heard over my comm that there were boys still alive and jesus fucking christ there must of been fifty Geth surrounding that thing, and half a dozen of the big, big ones, I don't mean to sound so un-modest here but a facts a fact; if I hadn't of been there those guys would of been fucked. So I jumped in-between the small army and the Pelican and put up a Biotic shield over everyone, it was a... bit more powerful than what you're used to seeing a human use, because of my augmentations and meta-gene powers, I can manipulate energy but you already knew that didn't you...? Look, I might be an asshole, a dirty deserter, but I can't just watch people die when I can do something about it. And it was starting to feel like New Harmony was my home, it was good to me so I owed it something, y'know? So no I wasn't doing it be on get anyone's good side, the UNSC owes me 34 years of my life for slave labour, I don't owe them anything. So that's where that picture you're looking at comes in. I was yelling at those crippled, sleepy semi-unconscious motherfuckers to move their godforsaken asses whilst they had the chance. I get all sentimental around my fellow troops, I can't stand the thought of leaving anyone... that's why ONI always sent me off alone.

Too bad you didn't see the next frame, where I put the shield down and blew all of those Geth away with the charged Plasma I was generating in my other hand. What more is there too tell? They deployed more Titans to fight the Titan-sized Geth, Scorpion tanks rolled down the streets, and just like what happened at Sigma Octanus not too long after the Covenant showed up after the Geth to piggyback on the trail of destruction. It wasn't too bad actually, ironically having the Geth there might of saved the colony, the two dickheads had at each other that much that what was left was totally decimated by the rest of the garrison New Harmony still had. I hear a prowler, the UNSC Razor's Edge I think, managed to attach a telemetry probe to a retreating Covenant Frigate, allowing it to track the ship and locate K7-49.... Y'know that place ONI sent 300 S3's to their death? You probably remember it as that "strategic victory" the news boasted so much about, against an "important Covenant shipyard and manufacturing planet." If News wasn't so prominent throughout the three empires we wouldn't know about half of this shit, surprisingly though, the UNSC managed to bag one of the few naval victories against the Covenant here on New Harmony, I took off after that... I had already attracted enough attention.

So, you didn't tell me who you are?
