"Listen to me, Covenant. I am Vice Admiral Preston J. Cole commanding the human flagship, Everest. You claim to be the holy and glorious inheritors of the universe? I spit on your so-called holiness. You dare judge us unfit? After I have personally sent more than three hundred of your vainglorious ships to hell? After kicking your collective butts off Harvest—not once—but twice? From where I sit, we are the worthy inheritors. You think otherwise, you can come and try to prove me wrong."

An iconic scene from Eric Nylund's "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", which was a great study into this larger-than-life character. I've been meaning to illustrate this part forever, just hadn't found a satisfactory way to compose it before. It's still not perfect, but at least it's something.



...oh, and I definitely think he escaped.
