If anything, the Sigma Octanus artifact could've made the calculations of the Babd Catha artifact more accurate.
Yes, I suppose so, but it still doesn't make a lot of sense. The coordinates were on the Sigma Octanus (SO) artifact, why was it necessary to have the Reach artifact now?
Bungie wanted to tie up CE and Reach so badly that they completely destroyed this point in the canon. I thought my unified timeline would help solve things, but this is just inexplicable to be honest.
It does seem like a horrible retcon huh? Still, using both or one as a cross reference could be a smart move. Halsey HOPED the BD artifact would work, using the SO artifact and seeing it matches with the BD artifiact, or vice versa, could work.
It fits, you've got that right, but here's what doesn't make sense at all.
At the end of the game when Halsey is giving that horrible narration about how we saved humanity and what not, she says we found Halo because of Noble Six.
That's a load. Even if the BC artifact was used only to verify the SO artifact, it didn't directly lead to the discovery of Halo, because Halo's coordinates had already been discovered.
