I will never, ever, accept the pillar landing on Reach as canon. It makes no damn sense at all.
>Covenant show up on the 30th
>The pillar is LEAVING THE SYSTEM TO GO ON THEIR MISSION.
>Turn around to defend Reach(which was already under attack in the game so...)
>DROP OFF THE SPARTANS IN A SINGLE PELICAN DOWN TO THE PLANET WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COST 4 SPARTANS THEIR LIVES.
>Land on the planet right after you just sent all of your spartans down in a vessel that could be show down much easier than the autumn.
Do you all honestly think Keyes is that stupid?
Eh, I agree to some effect there. There are a few blanks that we /may/ be able to infer that we simply don't know.
For example: Keyes got an emergency hail AFTER dropping off the Spartans to collect the "package". On top of that, I don't know that Viery was where the S-IIs were supposed to go. They could've been deployed elsewhere planetside, it'd be a bad idea to go drop them off there THEN head to your destination potentialy halfway around the planet.
They were leaving the planet to go on RED FLAG. That Cortana fragment didn't make a difference. Suddenly, the entire mission is aborted to go land the Pillar on the Planet, which will certain be extremely risky, just for something they didn't even need for their main mission?
Why deploy the Spartans from SPACE, when you're about to land anyway. It'd be much safer to fly in a pelican while on the planet, rather than from space where 700+ Covenant ships are.
300 ships, and I consider Reach an alternate reality, if not canon. Bungie MAKES THE CANON!
