“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

The SANKSHUNS are highly effective

I have been trying to tell just about anyone with sense enough to listen, since pretty much the middle of April, that the SANKSHUNS against those damned ROOOOOOOOSKEEES!!!, are actually useless at best and extremely counterproductive at worst. In reality, the Western...
