In-game = canon

Unless these are Zealot-class Elites, the active camo takes precedence over shield strength.

Zealots have stronger shields and the cloak ability.

Yeah I know I know. They weren't going to have that powerful of shielding anyways, they simply are going to be like the ones in Forward Unto Dawn... everything is invisible making them scary as fuck.

There was nothing scarier in Halo Combat Evolved than running across the giant bridges in Assault on the Control Room, jumping for the door after dodging all the Jackals and Grunts, and then getting in an Elite General's face by accident and having him make you eat his sword.

Right. Anyways. I should really be getting to bed. Kinda planned on doing that an hour and a half ago. Night all.

Not if you don't treat them as a problem (seeing that VISR was our only way of detecting them... We can't do jack about it till one of them de-cloaks. If you want, you could make them an issue, but I planned on bypassing them for 10-15 locusts trying to break into the objective.

Why would a scarab be this far behind the lines instead if at the front?

Because fuck you, that's why.

But don't worry, if Halo Wars has taught me anything, it's that you can take out a Scarab with ODSTs. Lots and lots of ODSTs....

I still am trying to think of a way for Lucy to get out of custody. Not sure if the Hunters would jump from "She's valuable" to "She's a problem".

Lekgolo are actually scary smart and are likely a form of worm that have existed for almost as long as the Forerunners themselves as biological storage devices (something that is a sub-plot to come into play later on). Also, Eridanus, I'd really prefer you to TG me these ideas rather than announce them on the thread because what you have planned and what I have planned aren't the same thing. You're right, you have control over the Fire-Team's progression, but not what they're engaging outside of my authorization. Henceforth, TG me about these sorts of things please because there wouldn't be a Scarab this far behind enemy lines neither would there be a Locust.

As for Lucy, she currently still has whatever knives on her person weren't in her main sheath, and though they're dragging her, it's only because she isn't, or wasn't conscious ans standing, when they took hold of her.

Honestly, both of those were jokes... At this point. I fully expect that when we all meet up, those elites will figure out what we are up to...
Both of those would be great though. Kill some covies!

Honestly, beside progressing to the building, I got nothing... How far away from the objective would you put us?

Oh thank god. We don't nearly have enough explosives or men to deal with a scarab.
