And, PoA being on land is IMPOSSIBLE because they're ALREADY in space in somewhere else, with OPERATION: RED FLAG until they got called back to Reach in AUGUST 30th. Besides, it's physically impossible for PoA to able to land or even, hover the atmosphere. It'd take INSANE amount of power to lift this HEAVY warship off of ground because of gravity factors!
Actually the last level of Reach takes place on the 30th in the late afternoon, around 16:30 (that's 4:30 for those who don't understand military time) if I'm not mistaken. So it was not two places at once, it came down to Reach sometime after picking up the remnants of Blue Team and Johnson's squad at 6:15 in the morning. If you look at the last cutscene of Reach, it's never hovering in atmosphere on its own, the only time it was hovering it had those huge booster tugs on the side. Look at the size of those tug ships, they're pretty fricken big, and there are six of them if I'm not mistaken, more than enough power in those to lift the Autumn up off the ground and allow it to get going on its own.
If we ignore every other timeline screw up and focus solely on Pillar of Autumn, we still can't overlook the fact that it jumped around 06:50 in the morning. Even if we ignore that, we are still left with the fact that those small thrusters on the side don't have enough fuel. Of course if you can point me huge fuel tanks that are bigger than Pillar of Autumn, I believe you. And by the way, after it drops it's thrusters we can see it floating by it's own. Realistically, after it had dropped all thrusters it should have just fallen to the ground as it had nothing to support it from the downside.
Talking about timeline errors, you are saying that Spartans and Keyes are just sipping tea in Pillar of Autumn while the planet is under full invasion? UNSC also seems to have bad communications delays as how otherwise could Pillar of Autumn be informed about the invasion on 30th when it started on 14th? Sixteen days is pretty bad for a communications delay.
The time it jumped obviously is retconned. Those rocket tugs were pretty big if you ask me, and how do you know how much fuel they have? It's not floating, it's using it's own engine to push itself out of the atmosphere, that's why it's got an upward angle to it, so that it can use its own engines in such a manner.
Obviously you didn't here Jun asking about Red Team aiding with civilian evac at the end of the mission in New Alexandria when you're destroying the jammers.
