how can the POA not be on reach? it could of gone down to reach after the spartans Dropped off, and cheif off go to azod pick the second half of COrtana up, Jump back into space, which apparently bungie looked into to see how it would actually lift off, all you need to do is connect that up to the books, POA picks chief and linda up they jump, Red team jumps to reach and there we go, anyway if ou dont like how theyve treated canon, just believe how you want it. and about the ODP on reach, there was 20 of them, we were on the other half of reach, and reach is massive, also chances are the giant super carrier destroyed some or some covenant destroyed some, before we were in space.I posted this earlier in order to prevent this from recurring. Nevertheless...
I shall just read out several quotes from Chapter 29. I just want the idea that it was 'okay' for PoA to land to just be blown straight out of the water, once and for all.
Tapped the thrusters
Space docks
In orbit around Reach
Shuttle pod moved closer (full quote implies great distance travelled)
Two separate mentions of 'drifting'
Cycled through the airlock
All of those say that PoA was IN SPACE for her refit. They also need to shakedown the engines before they move off, which in Reach are doing despite being landed on Reach's surface.
Putting PoA on Reach made no sense, and was simply an excuse to put 3 easter eggs, allusions to CE, into Reach. I would much rather have fought waiting for a single Pelican to relieve me of my Cortana fragment as opposed to the Pillar of Autumn sat dumbly on a shipbreaking docking clamp - it would have made some [censored term] sense. PoA planetside doesn't just screw canon, it buggers many different layers of logic in the tactical, strategic, logistic, and simple common sense.PoA, being a much older fleet vessel, was never rated for atmosphere. Only 'modern' frigates in 2552 have ever been capable of manoeuvring in atmosphere. Whilst they could have fitted PoA with the (apparent) anti-grav technology that frigates have, it would only have been useful in their mission for getting off Reach, a planet that they wouldn't, shouldn't and couldn't have landed on anyway.
