The Human-Covenant war is coming to a conclusion and the UNSC INFINITY and DAWN rendezvous at Planet Reach. President Ruth Charet of the UEG (Unified Earth Government) and his advisors were aboard DAWN and escorted to New Alexandria to meet the Hierarchs of the Covenant. My CO’s said it would take at least a month to establish peace and agree on space territory. After all, we were negotiating as a race and not as a country, so this is very important talks.

I was aboard the DAWN. I was part of Ship Operations & Maintenance. Some just call us grunts, mainly Infantry do, but I think we are the foundation to our victory in this war. I was responsible for maintaining all the ships’ systems and technology so they always stayed functional during the war. I’ve been assigned to maintain Hangers, Armories, Launch Systems, AI’s, SIAD’s (Ship Integrity and Defenses), SNS’s (Ship Navigation Systems), and even more responsibilities. I was behind the scenes, ensuring everything just works even in times

Before the captain of the UNSC Dawn ordered the rest of the fleet into slipspace to the next system, the ship’s scanners picked up the signal of a spacecraft of some sort entering the system a couple miles on the left. The captain ordered the fleet to hold position and ordered Dawn alone to move to intercept the 5,000ft long vessel and open communications and also ready it’s weapons incase the contact ended up turning hostile. Dawn’s Captain was sending a greeting message until a man wearing a grey uniform, presumably the captain of the small vessel, demanded to know we were and also demanded that we surrender to the Empire. The captain of the Dawn, unthreatened by the man’s words, asked what kind of damage do they think they can give with such a puny vessel. They responded. Their response was to open fire on the UNSC Dawn with it’s single laser

    This paper is supposed to be about choosing a group of people and making observations about them so I decided to write about the observations I made when I got to my first US Naval Ship after United States Navy boot camp. I chose to write about my observations of sailors because while we were in class talking about anthropology and relating it to society, I saw a lot of parallels and realized a lot of anthropology terms can be used to describe the microcosm of the United States Navy. My first ship was CVN 71 USS Theodore Roosevelt; it is an aircraft career which has a crew of approximately 5000 sailors. First thing I noticed, there was a sense of belonging among these sailors as they have all gone through the acculturation process that happens when you get to a new ship. Being the…

    In Doris Bergen’s book, “War and Genocide,” she explains how the Holocaust happened in terms of how a house burns down. “Three things are required,” she writes; kindling, a spark to start the fire, and complying weather. In terms of the Holocaust, deeply seeded antisemitism, Nazism, and a public of bystanders and followers respectively. Most historians agree on these three implementing factors, however historians still tend to have differing opinions about the individuals who caused the Holocaust. Christopher Browning and Daniel J. Goldhagen are an example of this: Two historians, each of whom studied and used the same sources to form differing opinions on the mentality of the men who killed innocent people.…

    The Legacy and Consequences of War In his coming-of-age novel, A Separate Peace, John Knowles tells the story of Gene Forrester and the struggles he faces – both internal and external. While Gene’s external struggles revolve mainly around world affairs at large; his internal struggles prove to be his greatest obstacle to overcome. The following excerpt demonstrates the struggle of consequences as being like a chain-reaction and how it destructively affects his best friend Phineas, “I took a step towards him… jounced the limb… his balance gone… and then he tumbled… broke through the branches below and hit the bank with a sickening unnatural thud… with unthinking sureness I moved… jumped into the river, every trace of my fear forgotten” (Knowles…
