“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Two years and counting

Happy anniversary, Popp: Has it been two years already?! Oh well- WINNING!!! Good luck sleeping tonight with that image Once you’re done catching up on the awesomeness that is Year Two, take a look at the best of Year One to be reminded as to just why Popp is...
