"I have always been interested in the “little people” who are caught up in big events and whose stories are not usually told. Evelyn was a character I created on Meridian to show some of those effects in game – you can find her in audio logs, as well as some level VO – and I wanted to tell more of her story."

— Morgan Lockhart

What Remains is one of several short stories in Halo: Fractures: Extraordinary Tales from the Halo Canon. It follows Evelyn Collins as she and others try to survive on Meridian's glassed surface after the Guardian disabled the majority of their technology. It was written by Morgan Lockhart, who also contributed to the supplementary fiction in the Meridian levels of Halo 5: Guardians.
