Project CONSEQUENCE

Without a doubt, the sheer complexity of the leads to more than a few things slipping, unnoticed, between the cracks, even with their constant surveillance of all data even remotely related to the organization. However, inter-branch bickering and secret cabals within every echelon, quietly run pet-projects and unauthorized programs siphoned off funds from every inch of ONI, often going years without any notice from other groups while the deadly war against the Covenant raged.

Though many projects were well-intended, some were completely unacceptable, while others were simply morally questionable: among the latter category, one of the smaller, though fairly successful, projects was CONSEQUENCE.
