Hello Everyone.
I can only apologise for my lack of posts - and importantly my silence.
For the past 3 months, I've been in great amount of stress and workload at work (I was in charge of a major investment at the company and my team had to pass three different approval audits where quite a lot of money depended on - and probably our jobs) and that, combined with the mental block (HALO is so lore heavy with so many books that is needed to be used to make it a true HALO crossover)...well it's been tough.
And I can retreat into myself when pressure is high and I am disappointing people. As I have disappointed you and have treated you unfaily.
I would say that I am quite a fair person but I can readily admit that my lack of posts and silence was both utterly unfair. I also admit that I hate excuses and part of my silence, is because of not wanting to give excuses. Because I should not have been so unable to post normally, even if RL work had taken a large block of everything.
If you want a refund, please message me (I have not extracted the fund since September). With the Christmas Break, I won't be working of course, and I can use it to set things right.
Which also include in resuming the stories that I am way behind on.
The busyness of RL work has receded, a lot, and I can return back to normalcy, especially since my mental block is, for the most part, gone. A lot of was because of CH3 Part 1 which of course, is one of several important 'first contact' scenes.
In any case, I hope the below chapter can at least make you feel a little better though I expect a lot more will be needed for things to be right again.
As always, please let me know what you think of the chapter.
