After reexamining the last part of Halsey's journal, I realized that the briefing for Operation Red Flag and the MJOLNIR/AI integration tests were still held on their respective dates of August 27 and August 29 of 2552. The briefing was held in a FLEETCOM military complex, while the tests were on a military reservation.
The problem is, Halsey was under Sword Base the very next day after the AI/Armor tests. This canon was not retconned, because it not only appears in the original novel, but Halsey's journal as well. The question is this:
How the heck did Halsey get from the military reservation to under Sword Base in one day while the Covenant was attacking Reach?
Now, to be fair, that's a loaded question. The Covenant was not attacking Reach will full force just then. In fact, the largest and most deadly fleet arrived the day the campaign ended.
I think there is a map included with the Legendary edition of Halo Reach (I will check this soon). If there is, there may possibly be a cartographic comparison of Sword Base and this military reservation. It is possible underground caves could have been connecting the two. After all, Reach was a mining colony at one point.
Your thoughts?
