My other ride is a Cryptum

There are times when the fiction of Halo can spill over into life in ways you don’t expect.

On my way home from work last week I was listening to the last half of Cryptum, picturing in my mind’s eye the Deep Reverence and how it might have looked in its glory days when I had an unexpected thought – I’m about to get in an accident.

I’m okay and no one was injured, so that’s the main thing. Sadly that is not the case for the car – totaled.

After the accident was cleaned up a series of statements and questions spun through my brain, and I had to laugh at some of them – I think you’ll be able to tell which:

• Everyone okay? Good
• How bad is the damage?
• If my car would have been of Forerunner design this would never have happened.
• I should gather up my stuff
• What would the Didact have done in this situation? Why won’t his memories answer me?
• Good thing I didn’t waste my money on a scheduled oil change
• Did the Librarian arrange all of this?
• How am I going to get to work tomorrow?
• Did I leave Riser in the trunk? Better check

Next time I’m taking the Warrior Keep to work.
