I'm curious as to exactly how Captain Keyes was given command of the Pillar of Autumn. Was he first given command of that ship while it was docked on Reach? Or was the ship docked somewhere else when he first took command of it. I'm talking before it took off for the Covenant home world and figured out Reach was being attacked. This is a really critical point for my analysis of a certain part of the canon in regards to Halo Reach.

Keyes was given command when the mission was drafted and the ship picked for refits.

But WHERE was the ship when he was given command. On Reach, or above Reach?

The Autumn was in orbit in one of Reach's repair/refit stations when Keyes first came on board the ship.
