Session fun rating: 8/10
I completed the mission I had started last time. Using the Pelican dropship, I reached a room where Cortana was able to determine that the Didact was about to warp out of the system to the location of the Composer. In a dramatic scene, Master Chief grabs Cortana and jumps onto a ship controlled by the Didact as it prepares to warp! After warping, we ended up on a UNSC station orbiting one of the Halo installations.
It turns out, the Composer is a physical device that can build digital devices out of organic material, basically making hybrid creatures like the Prometheans. The Composer device is being studied by the USNC people on the installation, led by Dr. Tillson. As the Didact attempts to steal the Composer, Master Chief finds Dr. Tillson who reluctantly agrees to help his find a weapon large enough to destroy the installation, stopping the theft of the device.
I fought my way through the installation to reach the nuclear warhead needed. The mission itself was full of great action, including an exciting segment in a Mantis, the bipedal mech. I mostly fought Covenant here, though there were a few Prometheans too. It was nice to fight on human ground again...
Cortana is definitely going fucking nuts. She spouts non-sense often, gets confused and has trouble concentrating on the task at hand. There was a pretty great scene between her and Master Chief as they talk about her imminent "death"... In the end, I found the nuke, but it was too late, the Didact was already leaving. In fact, he managed to kill every human on the installation except for Master Chief with a wicked orange beam of death. Master Chief chases after it with a sort of orbital jet, armed with the nuke, He piggybacked on the Didact's ship just before it warped out of the area.
