User:Racecarlock/Marathon: Temporal Rift, Chapter 1

UESC Captain's log, Year 2793, Captain Jack Yorktown Reporting We are preparing the Marathon for a test of a new model of warp drive. BOBs are standing ready, all marines are bracing themselves. Now all that's left to do is test this thing. "Engineer, begin the test." The engineer acknowledges. The ship begins to shake and rattle violently. "Captain, what's that?" Marine Rick Hulnar says. I look out the viewport and I see that we're traveling through some kind of light tunnel with colors that are similar to red, purple, and magenta. Bright, undulating colors. That's all I had time to see before we exit the tunnel. The ship lurches, and we come out into an unknown solar system. "Scanning officer, report!" "This is not a known solar system sir" Scanning officer Jim Retnar says. "No damage to any systems sir." Says the finally identified engineer, Tim Hulgens. "Sir, detecting plasma energy signatures and bio signatures in the Galactic East Direction!" Jim Retnar says. "Onscreen" (A note from the author, I'm coming up with this stuff on the spot so bear with me) The thing that comes up on the screen suprises me. "This looks like the thing the UNSC had to deal with about 241 years ago during the halo battles." I say. "Uh, sir?" Said Jim Retnar. According to my computer the current date is October 20, 2552.
