Master Chief: Hi. I'm just waiting for Halo 2 to come out, but while we're waiting, we're here today to interview Hunter Burru! Burru is no longer in the Covenant Military. Don't worry; we took away all his weapons, so he won't hurt anyone. And I've got a rocket launcher right here. Just in case.

Master Chief: So, what's it like being a Hunter?


Burru: Well, we don't call ourselves Hunters. We have a very complicated name that is too complicated for your puny human minds. But right now, let's just leave it as "Hunter". Anyway, it's really cool. We're taller then the other Covenant soldiers so they don't get in our way. Except is doesn't work on those soldiers that you humans call "Elites". What's a Hunter anyway?


Master Chief: So, why did you quit the military?


Burru: I didn't quit. At least I don't remember quitting. I don't think you're aloud to quit untill the war is over. The last thing I remember is the feeling of a needle in the back of my neck.


Master Chief: Right. So, what do you do when you're not fighting?


Burru: Us Hunters are above the Grunts and jackals, and for some unknown reason, we're not above the Elites. We just tell the Grunts and Jackals the Elite's orders. We also transport stuff when we're going into battle.

Master Chief: Do you have any friends there?


Burru: One. He's my fighting partner. For some unknown reason, us Hunters have to ALWAYS travel in pairs. That is a crazy rule that I've never figured out.


Master Chief: Have you ever killed a human?


Burru: No. I've only been stationed were the humans were supposed to attack. But they never came.

Master Chief: Was it boring just standing there for about 5 hours?


Burru: It was so boring. The Elites didn't even let me and my partner play mic-mac-moe while we were waiting for the humans to come.


Master Chief: You mean tic-tac-toe.


Burru: No, mic-mac-moe. What the hell is tic-tac-toe anyway? That's a really strange name.

Master Chief: I guess Covenant are different then humans.


Burru: Of course! You thought that Covenant are the same as humans?? Pah! If the Prophets knew that we were like humans, they'd burn us to death, make us come back alive and be fed to carnivorous grunts.


Master Chief: Are all Hunters Really tall?


Burru: Well yes. Some are taller then others. I'm actually short for a Hunter.


Master Chief: Do you like being in the Military?


Burru: That's a rhetorical question Chief. I HATE it. I'm actually glad that you guys captured me to be here. How would you like it if you were kidnapped and raised in the Military and your only purpose was to kill?


Master Chief: Um.. Uh... Uh. Well....


Burru: Trust me. You wouldn't like it.


Master Chief: Are you exited about Halo 2?


Burru: Oh yea. I'm ready to whip human ass, and the Brutes are actually fighting in Halo 2.


Master Chief: You really are an amazing creature.


Burru: Yeah. And so are you.


Master Chief: I've got a few questions to ask you personally. Why do you have an exposed part of skin on your neck and your back? I mean, I get full body armor. Why don't you?


Burru: Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know why I don't get full body armor. I think that I don't get full body armor because if I did, you wouldn't be able to beat the game. People would stop playing after they see the Hunters in the third level.


Master Chief: And why is it that no matter how much assault rifle rounds I shoot at your armor, it never gives in? My armor has rechargeable shields. If it's anything, it should be that my armor is indestructible. You can even survive a rocket if it's not direct. If a rocket is even close to me, I'll die.


Burru: Once again, I think that the game designers put it like that to give you a challenge.


Master Chief: Well, we're out of time.


Burru: Aw that sucks. Well I guess I'll be leaving now.


Master Chief: You can't leave.


Burru: Huh? Why not? The interview is over.


Master Chief: You've seen too much.


Burru: Now what's that supposed to mean? Well bye. Wait a second. Is that a pistol? Are you going to... Ow! It went clear through my back! Ow Ow Ow!!


Master Chief: Give it up for Burru!
