P.E.R.N.

This is a joke, okay? It's just a joke. If any of you start thinking this is a story idea for the next Halo fic of mine, then, I will hit you over the head. Woe upon me if I ever get caught by the Weyr police on this one.

Trust me on this one, Telek's drunk driving wasn't the thing that sent him 2500 years into the future. That was all "AIVAS'S" idea! Damn talking wall!

Though I have seen many Pern images on DA, a few maps here and there, but not one of those guys have given a try to recreate the planet in a spacescape type scene. Guess I'm the first.

Joli: Temporal transference successful, Excellency.

Telek: We here?

Rolu: Yes, Supreme Commander. The Luminary is picking up Forerunner artifacts on the eccentric red planet passing through that Oort Cloud.

Telek: Do what, now?

Rolu: Forerunner artifacts, Excellency.

Telek: Alright, alright. We'll handle that later. Right now I've gotta deal with the distress signal. At last, finally, I found him. 300 light-years from Earth and 2500 Earth years into the future, but I found him. Let's just hope they're both together. We cloaked?

Joli: Yes, Excellency.

Telek: Good, we don't want the descendants of the abandoned colony refugees to know we're here. Head straight for the Southern Continent. Nice and quiet, fellas. Nice and quiet. Doesn't look like to me they've used Tier 3 technology in a while. Seein' a space ship like mine might scare the crap outta them.

Joli: Yes, Excellency.

Rolu: It has been 2500 years since the war. It's possible that the Spartan may no longer be alive.

Telek: I know that, but I know for one that Kiryuu is or else we wouldn't be here. Maybe he can tell us what happened to the Chief.

There. Chew on that. There won't be more. Come at me, you Pern purists! Come at me! At least I'm not doing Yaoi in Pern.

Pern belongs to Anne McCaffery.

Halo belongs to Bungie.

The Funny Joke belongs to me.

The Sangheili Pirate's Arrival at Archer's Knee0534 Hours, November 19, 5079 (Military Calendar)\Shadow of Darkness/Alpha Sagittarii System
    “Exiting Slipstream Space in five,” began Helmsman Joli ‘Hennes. “Four, three, two, one…”
    Supreme Commander Telek ‘Heros glanced up at the sound of the engines of the Shadow of Darkness beginning to slow as they dropped out of the blackness of Slipstream Space.  He tapped a few times on the console of his command chair.
    “All ships report in,” he called.
    “Divine Journey standing by.”
    “Holy Justice standing by.”
    “Righteous Fury standing by.”
    “Regret and Reconciliation standing by.”
    “Transcending Vigilance standing by.”

Yes, it now has the story attached to it.  Hopefully the Weyr Police won't bring me in for it.
