Okay, i'm working up this one series titled 'MIA', or 'Missing In Action'. It covers the story of Randall, Spartan 008, who is one of the few Spartans listed as MIA that actually went missing.

In a milk-run assignment to retrieve an AI from a UNSC base overrun by covenant ground forces, the inbound pelican meant to extract them is shot down. Randall goes behind enemy lines and, using a Covenant communication system, messages another UNSC ship to send a ship after them. However, as he heads back to the Spartan line, he gets shot down by a Covenant elite, and is left behind. He wakes up alone, marooned on a world abandoned by the UNSC, with only the rescued AI, Shakti, as an ally. As more Covenant forces begin to descend, as well as a UNSC strike team that's looking for more then just a missing Spartan, Randall must delve into the secrets of Avalon, the last treasure of the Forerunners.

If anyone can do voice acting or has any filming suggestions, by all means, tell me.

One might argue that your inability to spell 'horomones' plus your poor spelling and grammar would cast you in a similar light.

Regardless, i'm happy for both of your help, although I think for the moment I should be fine. Anyone that can tell me about a program that could be used to overcome my problem with bump_possession *ahem ILLEGALLcheatsMAN ahem* should tell me ASAP, since i'll need it to do the trailer battle.

Just to let you know all Spartans are MIA. When they die they are still MIA. Spartans were not made to die. The UNSC always tags them MIA if they are gone in anyway.

NOTE: SPOILERS.

That's true, but in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Dr. Halsey says that she kept a tab 'on all that Spartans that actually went missing' on Page 173. There were three of them: Randall, the one I'm doing, who went missing in 2532, Sheila, who went missing 2544 but supposedly dies at the 'Battle of Miridem', and Kurt, around which the story 'Ghosts of Onyx' is centered. He (Kurt) dies at the end. So, of the three I decided to make my story around Randall since he had the most plot freedom. I could say virtually anything about him without worrying about messing with previous plots concerning Randall, since this is the only mention of him.

Thanks Illegal for the clone program, couldn't have made it work without it.

I already filmed the first episode, and it was kinda hard for me to focus on camera angles since the script called for using the map 'Assault on Hang'em high', so for the entire duration of filming I was more concerned with not getting shot at too much. But episode 2 should work just fine.

Alot of the first few episodes will use alot of music associated with Halo, for example the first episode uses some Breaking Benjamin and what not, mainly due to the story.

Randall at first journeys through the world he's been stranded on, thinking the same way he always has when it comes to the Covenant War. But as it progresses his thinking changes, until the end when he realizes the full scope of what's happening. I plan to represent part of this through music.

I started filming for the first episode before I came here, so I had to rely off of whatever I could find on-line. But now that i'm here i've gotten some voice acting options, which I plan to use for the upcoming episodes.

I'll take your advice, now that I have the clone, voice acting and no-one-will-be-taking-cheap-shots-at-me-while-i'm-setting-up-the-camera options the stuff should be good. In the mean time, enjoy the story.

It'll be fine. Just record it soon, I already have my lines and the AI's lines down and i'm waiting on yours to proceed with episode 2.

EDIT: I need a voice actor ASAP. All you need to do is read this line and email it to me at Tale_Spinner@comcast.net , the person I choose out of them will be the voice actor for that character.

The part is Captain Adrian Roberts, Captain of the UNSC ship 'Manifest Destiny'. This is the line here:

“This is Captain Adrian Roberts of the UNSC Destroyer ‘Manifest Destiny’, relaying to all UNSC forces that may reside on this planet. We are being trailed by Covenant forces, which should be entering the system within minutes. Planning on touching down at Point Alpha, located at bearing 38 degrees north, 125 degrees west. The ship is making its entry in T-minus one minute; any groundside units should mobilize and meet up with us there. God have mercy on us.”

Again, email it to me ASAP.

ha my new roles gonna be fun do you have the lines fore me to practice and also if so i would like to put in some elite combat dialog


Your first lines will be in Episode 4, I haven't gotten to work on the script for it yet since i'm still trying to finish 2 before moving on to 3. As soon as I get them you'll be the first to know.

And, again, I need a voice actor to cover Captain Adrian. I can't move on in the series without that one line.
