We kill that which we do not understand...and then promptly tea-bag it.
I was recently browsing through the halo waypoint website when I decided to go through the timeline.I noticed that the Event of the Unyielding Hierophant is placed six days before the discovery of Halo, when in the book Halo:First Strike, it happens with the Master Chief and the remainder of Blue team (including others UNSC personnel). This happens after he escapes from the remaining of the Covenant armada around Halo aboard the Covenant flagship Ascendant Justice. Is this just a mistake on their part, or am I missing something (I have read all the Halo books). Thanks
