 * Once again, I say goodbye to a colleague and friend. The new Halo installation
 * has disappeared through the slipspace portal. Far out of reach of Atriox's hands.
 * But it took Professor Anders with it. I know the Professor will be okay, her
 * intelligence and resourcefulness will see her safely back to her lab in no time,
 * but I will miss her and our family is a little smaller without her.


 * But there is plenty to keep us occupied here. The portal to Earth is still closed,
 * and as far as I'm concerned it should remain so until we fully evaluate the threat
 * the Banished pose to it. However, I have ordered Isabel to start investigating
 * the portals controls in the event that we need to open—or close—it again in
 * the future. The Ark is our new home for now and the Banished threat is too
 * great to leave it unguarded until we establish contact with the UNSC forces
 * back home.


 * For now, Atriox seems to be licking his wounds, but we know he still has forces
 * active in the darkest corners of the Ark and it won't be long before he mobilizes
 * them once again. This time we'll be ready for him.


 * Yes, I have said goodbye to another friend and we are again cut off from the
 * rest of humanity, but this time it's different. We know that the Covenant war
 * has been won and a new future awaits us back home—perhaps our families as
 * well. For now, we have a new purpose, something to fight for. And we'll do it
 * together on our new home.
