Who am I without my armor?
Well, wasn't this a surprise. She had gone to bed, thinking all was well with the world. Only to wake up and find that the peace of Halo was once again overturned, changes made and decreed over the heads of the people. Not the first time. Not the last either, likely, but that did not make this any easier to swallow.

"I've never been much favored by them, nor do I care to be. And I sure ain't about to fight any wars for them. You say you want what's best for Halo, yet you place it squarely in the thick of this idiotic conflict - how are you going to keep anyone safe when you've turned us all into weapons?"
At least Morgan had claimed to try for neutrality. But this? It filled her with a deep unease, such as she hadn't felt since she was a young girl, heckled and disparaged for the magic in the core of her soul. They were hunting Ascended now... how long until they would be coming for Abandoned?
