Been getting into Halo (I say in our year 2025)

- SOME MORE TRAD ART SKETCHES BELOW

Did the person who wrote these descriptions consult the writing team at all I wonder? Jorge is famous specifically for being the closest thing to a friendly Spartan we ever meet. He's the team's resident big hearted softie. Emile is supposed to be the detatched violent one and his entire dynamic with Jorge revolves around him constantly needling the big guy for ever showing humanity.

Halo: Reach, "Winter Contingency"

I don't know why, but usually at this part while you're waiting for the door to open, I'll go up to somebody and have Six (in red armor) stare at them until they say something. In this case, you hear Jorge ask if I need a little help with something. 🤗

For some reason, Emile doesn't often say anything here (I'm 99% sure he used to have a line but I can't remember for certain 🤷‍♀️) so I wanted to see if he'd say something after being stared at. At first, he just scoffs at me. And then:

"I think Jorge had to die the way he did. Nothing else could've killed him."

👀Um, this is the first mission in the game. Jorge is clearly right there. This line sounds like it belongs in "The Package" or "Pillar of Autumn" both at the very end of the game where it's (SPOILER) down to just Six and Emile.

I've spent some time doing a glitch where you "save" Emile at the end of "Pillar of Autumn" by forcing him out of the gun, (seen at the top in the first pic) down onto the ground then pushing him (which sometimes requires smacking him, oops, lol) alllllllll of the way to the platform where Captain Keyes comes to get Cortana.

He doesn't have any of his usual fighting AI but he'll still do a lot of his extra lines while Six is womanhandling him across the platform and I've never heard that line about Jorge before. He usually is carping about the, you know, fact I'm smacking him. Sorry, baby boy. It's all to save your life.🤷‍♀️😉

Anyway, just a sort of interesting thing that happened while I was playing tonight. 😎 (Sorry for the lack of brightness. This was, yet again, raw footage recorded from the theater.)

Oh and in case you're wondering, even though you can get Emile in the cutscene with Six, his death scene up in the gun still plays out and when you come out of the cutscene, he's despawned from the platform. 😢Oh well, we still saved him, darn it! I'm sure he, um, stepped out to get a glass of milk before he and Six escaped from Reach in a convenient spare ship that was, uhhhhh, sitting there in an abandoned UNSC Space Rent-a-car-spaceship, all prepped and ready to launch! Yeah, that's it! Then they went and met up with the rest of Noble Team who had gone ahead to get good seats at their favorite diner and they're all going to have a delicious meal together, complete with ice cream for dessert! 🍔🍟🍨

Look, there goes Emile right now! Save me a seat, buddy! 🤗😇😜

Heh. Just leave me with my delusions, I'm happier here.
