: There is a "scene" in Primordium in which a Halo is on collision
: course with a planet just slightly so smaller than its diameter. Crazy
: stuff goes on that involves placing Chakas in charge of maneuvering the
: Halo, with all the knowledge Bornstellar (as Didact) has about it.

: Anyway, they decide to pass the planet through the Halo. To avoid damage due
: to gravitational stresses, they employ a phasing out of the compromised
: sections. In essence, said section were transported to a dimension (a
: Slipspace of sorts) in which no further action from our dimension affects
: them. As such, if avoids the increase in gravitational stress while
: maintaining the inertia.

: It is not a complete Deus Ex Machina because it takes a lot of energy,
: almost all the energy this particular Halo can afford.

: Also, apparently, it is not dissimilar to the timelock that was applied on
: the Captive of Charum Hakkor, so it would explain why it took so long for
: the Chief to be surrounded by debris, while also explaining how they had
: so much time before the hard-light wall collapsed.

That doesn't help believability at all, which is what I was talking about.
