I try not to take this too seriously, (after all, I consider it a simple "farewell" rather than major canon), but in the beginning cutscene of Halo CE we see the PoA accompanied by a handful of Longswords (I believe). Then, we hear the famous quote. However in Halo Reach we only see the PoA and no Longswords. As I said, I do not take the "credit scene" seriously, but if there were Longswords in Halo 1, why weren't there any with the PoA while you were dropping off Cortana? This would've provided an escape for 6.

Now, I realize there were plenty of Docking Stations on the PoA, but by the time we get to "The Maw" they have most, if not all of their ships there and intact.

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

I'm kinda done with Halo Canon. Nothing makes sense anymore.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

It's not a big deal, really.

But perhaps they joined with the PoA in space?

Though without the Longswords the PoA would've been boarded much faster and destroyed before it even launched an escape pod.

Perhaps they didn't sortie until later?

I mean, the longswords obviously came out of the Autumn. They weren't going to come out the second the ship exits slipspace.

Obviously, the H:R "did we lose them?" timing is off.

Whippin' 'nades since aught-2

And why are you now outside of the galaxy? In ce you can see a spiral arm of the galaxy, but in the reach credits you can see the whole galaxy, which means the threshold system and instilation 4 must be outside the galaxy. Like the ark.

For the Journey!

In Halo:Reach I belive that it shows the PoA just after exiting slipspace.

In CE it shows the PoA after the Covenant presence was detected and Longswords were deployed to engage the Covenant recon fleet.

I think the quote was just for dramatic effect to tie Reach with Halo 1
