Terms of Endurance banner

    Meet the crew of the sangheili corvette "Desolate Resolve".  As part of a soldier exchange program, a human soldier is sent to serve aboard the "Desolate Resolve", unfortunately none of the crew speaks his language.  "Terms of Endurance" is the misadventures of Malixamee "Maxwell" and Vel Ahteramee "Ally" as they are stuck babysitting Officer Jensen.

    "Terms of Endurance" is a scripted (but never filmed) Halo: Reach machinima series that was a spin off of another unfilmed series and in no way what so ever contributes to official Halo cannon.

Meet the Crew:

Shipmaster:    The Shipmaster has served many years in the fleet and has worked hard to become Shipmaster of the "Desolate Resolve".  He has a strong dislike of humans and is displeased with the Fleet Commander's decision to assign a human to his crew, but will never voice his displeasure to the Fleet Commander.

Malixamee "Maxwell":    Having served aboard the "Desolate Resolve" for most of his career, Malixamee is fairly content with his position under the leadership of the Shipmaster.  He has a mild fascination with human culture, and because of this he ends up being the translator for the crew when dealing with Jensen.

Vel Ahteramee "Ally":    The sole survivor of an ambushed sangheili outpost, Ahteramee was rescued by the "Desolate Resolve" and has served aboard ever since.  Ahteramee strongly dislikes Jensen so much so that he consistently purposes offing Jensen through "accidents".

Officer Jensen:    Stubborn, self centered, and always hungry, Jensen is the newest and least liked crew member aboard the "Desolate Resolve".  Ignorant to the fact that no one speaks english, Jensen acts as though he knows how to run the ship and what is best for everyone (pirated satellite TV anyone?).  He is completely oblivious to the fact the "Maxwell" and "Ally" (as he calls them) are his babysitters for his entire term aboard the ship.
