It's been so long since I read any of the original trilogy books... could you tell me about these things? XD


1) Truth discovered that humanity were the chosen heirs of the Forerunners, the Luminaries (devices used to detect Forerunner artefacts) were displaying humanity as Reclaimers, not objects for reclamation. Truth realised that if this got out, that the Forerunners hadn't actually died out (Forerunner being a title, not the actual race name), the Covenant would fragment and humanity would be worshipped just as Truth was plotting to assume power of the Covenant.

2) In Uprising, John attempts to assassinate Truth on the Keyship but is almost killed and ends up abandoning the ship on a door piece. How Johnson and Thel made it back has not yet been explained.

3) The Elites had to join with humanity because the vast majority of their fleet and their Imperial Admiral were wiped out by Whitcomb's NOVA bomb at Joyous Exultation, and the Sentinels at Onyx wiped out another of their fleets. Joining with humanity was ultimately a convenient compromise to save their skin, not just because the Arbiter said so.

4) Fall of Reach went into detail about how Installation 04 was discovered, the coordinates having been found in the battle of Sigma Octanus IV. The background of John is examined (something only Halo 4 has done in the games), and we see the events forcing the Autumn to make the "random" jump - in reality, Cortana used the coordinates gained from Sigma Octanus IV.

5) First Strike tells us that Johnson, conveniently enough, found a Pelican with some other survivors and is immune to Flood infection (due to his augmentations as a Spartan-I) and they left the Ring. Linda is recovered from space, they board a Covenant ship and go back to Reach to rescue the other Spartans and Halsey - who recovers a slipspace crystal that bends time. Regret starts amassing an army to go after Earth, but 500 ships are destroyed when John and his team blow up the Unyielding Hierophant. They return to Earth to warn humanity about the Covenant invasion, about 12 of Regret's ships having survived the explosion.

MOAR!

I demand moar!

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

I updated the enemies thanks to somebody actually serious in Create-a-Promethean thread and somebody else made me some custom boxart for the Extended Cut. It's all on the article now! Please check it out.
