For honor, for glory... for the Seventh Column.
I was just reading around halopedia about Halo First Strike when I noticed something interesting. This was straight out of section 3 of the plot details from Halopedia.
Admiral Whitcomb asked why the Chief was here, instead of the mission with Captain Keyes deep in Covenant territory. The Chief told him about the events that happened on Halo, and while he was telling the story, Haverson and the others from the dropship arrived. Haverson asked Whitcomb how he was alive, and the Admiral told Haverson that while everyone was evacuating, he had stay behind because the U.N.S.C. was working on a new bomb called a NOVA. Whitcomb armed the NOVAs with fail safe tampering detonators and a countdown timer. Whitcomb had a team of Marines, Charlie Company, to help arm the NOVAs, but they were wiped out, but he then saw Red Team on coded COM and 'asked' to borrow a few Spartans, who armed the NOVAs and give the Covenant trouble with hit-and-run exercises.
Could this "marine team" have been Nova 1? Could the person on the radio in the Halo: Reach trailer who needed Nova 1 in the fight be Admiral Whitcomb? Maybe the person who said "You've got Spartans on the ground sir, we're not going anywhere" was a member of Red Team?
Just something that I thought was interesting that caught my eye.
