[[It Got Worse|It gets worse]]
Soon after Frank meets [[Sole Survivor|Pavel Klaus]], whom he becomes fast friends with. From that point on the duo starts earning their paycheck and kicking alien ass. The story is, paraphrasing the author, what you would get if you grabbed an extra from the Halo series and gave him the spotlight in a television series as opposed to a film. It has dealt with over nine years worth of war in more than 100 chapters. It's a pretty humorous fan fiction with very well-done action sequences that don't usually go over the top. Written fairly realistically (as realistically as you can get with [[Science Fiction]]) it gives a different perspective on the Halo Universe.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Alien Invasion]]: What'd you expect?
* [[Author Appeal]]: Why else would there be so many attractive female characters in the cast?
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Crazy Enough to Work]]: Chapter 81. Full Stop.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Chapter 81, mentioned above, involves doing an air drop on top of a tank with parachutes attached to it with Iron Man blasting through the main character's helmet speakers. You have to read it to understand the sheer awesomeness of the act.
* [[Doorstopper]]: The story currently has over 550,000 words and counting. To put it into perspective, it's longer than the entire [[The Lord of the Rings]] series.
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Gabuka.
* {{spoiler|[[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: Played straight and then brutally subverted in Scarecrow's death. He uses a galling gun like an assault rifle before he is brutally killed by a needle explosion.}}
* [[Elites Are More Glamorous]]: Since the protagonist is an ODST this comes up sometimes.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Frank, obviously.
** [[The Lancer]]: Pavel
** [[The Smart Guy]]: Arcangelo "Angel" Lamberti. Although Camilla is probably the smartest member if the team Lamberti is the computer expert and gadgeteer.
** [[The Big Guy]]: George Sutton, his call-sign, [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Scarecrow]], says a lot. Robert "[[Embarrassing Nickname|Bumblebee]]" Agnarsson also has some shades of this despite not being as physically intimidating has the advantage of being the squad member that carries the rocket launcher.
** [[The Chick]]: Camilla "Grass" Seppa
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: While not technically one, Grigori comes of as this at times, probably because Frank distrusts him.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Several filler chapters are humorous and soft. The action-heavy chapters are often [[Darker and Edgier]]. They still have some humor, but the change is sometimes a little bit sudden.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Too often to keep count.
* [[One
* [[Only Sane Man]]: The way that Caboose behaves sometimes makes it seem like he believes himself to be that. He's not entirely wrong either.
* {{spoiler|[[Rank Up]]}}
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: There have been a couple of instances were Frank realizes that he had written down something wrong by how the other character says it.

'''Frank''': {{spoiler|Kat}}? You mean {{spoiler|Cat}}.
'''Pavel''': That's what I said. }}
* [[Screw the War,
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Frank gets called out by Commander Albaf on Chapter 107. It's not pretty.
* [[The Squad]]: Reaper Squad
* [[The Squadette]]: Camilla "Grass" Seppa
