Great chapter, well worth the wait! Can't wait for the next one, you're a really talented writer

Welcome back. Having Wash as a villain for the Reds and Blues seems like a good idea. Having to fight a person who is basically a brother can be emotional and hard. As Wash knows The BGC’s strengths and weaknesses, and vice-versa.

10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND

I don't see Washington ever betraying the BGC he's been through so much with them, he isn't the same person from season 8. And I don't see him working with the bad guys, unless he's faking this, which I hope he is faking. But him betraying the Reds and Blues, I know Theta wouldn't agree to it, so it has to be fake or something right? Is it all an act?

I swear to Jesus, Wash better be playing the long con here. If not, well then, you're just a dick.

that means Tucker's now the leader of blue team

I had to stop it right here.

One blow and Carolina is out?
What the fuck.

You seriously underpowered the RvB team.

If Tex can fight an army of soldier's that are fitted with UNSC weapons than it would take more than one hit to the head to knock out Carolina.

There is no such thing as a black star.

There is a black hole but no black stars.

hmm,
I'll be honest ans say that I think the girls felt like they were a bit much happy to help. They just appeared out of nowhere, killed a bunch of monsters and said 'I am here to help you.'
And the RvB team didn't think much about teenage girls with swords and stuff killing monsters. although I guess those questions come later after they group up.

hmm. since you have the RvB guys, and all of the AI too, that's a shit ton of characters. I'm interested to see how this works out.

Great chapter I must say. I loved how you described why each AI fit with each soldier.
And I am very happy that you did just as I'd hoped and paired Tex with Carolina. I hope there will be a lot if interractions between the two, to talk things out.

So... Epsilon fragmented himself... into all of the AI?

including the original Alpha who died?
And Tex who Epsilon, made himself forget so she could have peace?

Although this is an AU so anything can happen, I don't care that much about it since I liked the Alpha Church and Tex.

Damn Wash! I hope he's just conning the bad guys.

Wait what about caboose hoe did wash beat him

I seriously hope Washington is either mind controlled, or pulling a long con here. Otherwise, I'm no longer liking where this is going.
