  1. Summary

    Literally, "from the everlasting", "from eternity", or "from outside of time". Philosophically and theologically, it indicates something, e.g., the universe, that was created from outside of time. Sometimes used incorrectly to denote something, not from without time, but from a point within time, i.e. "from time immemorial", "since the beginning of time", or "from an infinitely remote time in the past".

  3. Summary

    It started with the Biko Peace Talks. The Master Chief, currently AWOL, successfully rescued the alien delegates being targeted by the xenophobic terrorist group calling themselves Sapien Sunrise; but not the revered Outer Colony Ambassador Richard Sekibo, who had been mortally wounded in the escape. The Master Chief was widely vilified by the public, accused of murdering civilians (in reality disguised SS members), with the United Earth Government keeping silent on the matter– and keeping the governing body of Biko silent as well– despite the Sangheili protesting their own and “the Demon’s” innocence to the UEG.

    But none of that mattered to the Chief. He had failed, again. A life had been lost, a good man dead, because he had failed again. After Ivanoff Station, after New Phoenix, after Cortana– this was it. This was the limit. The straw that broke the camel’s back. With the weight of the world ever on his shoulders, and now his own failures and the resulting billions of deaths crushing him as well, the Master Chief did the only thing he could do.

    He forgot.
