That's a neato little wrap-up you've written, Grim! Please keep up the canon bits in the bulletins. We crave stuff like this!

On another note, looking at dates in Halo stuff always makes me wonder why so much takes place within only a few days. When you exclude slipspace travel it seems like each game only spans at least three or four days. According to Grim's summary of the battle on Alpha Halo, the first three missions were undertaken all within the same day. Of course I could be ignoring time zones where Truth and Reconciliation is orbiting a far off part of the ring in the early morning or at night. But the next four levels, at the Silent Cartographer to the Library, all happen across the span of a single day in three unique environments likely spanning hundreds or thousands of kilometers in distance from each other.

Marines, Soldiers, and Spartans need to eat and use the bathroom too, y'know!
