: Raises an interesting question about the nature of slipspace travel. We know
: it's not supposed to be instantaneous, given that ships can still take
: days-weeks-months to reach their destination. But can this length of time
: vary depending on the speed in which the object travels within slipspace
: itself? I.e. could communication waves travelling at the speed of light,
: as opposed to a ship travelling at speed x, reach their destination
: faster?

: So could a network of comm buoys within slipspace enable the speed of
: communications we've seen in HtT?

This seems to be in the case in the preview in Hunters in the Dark. Doctor Iqbal says in Halo 3 it took the FuD about a month to reach the Ark through the portal, but with there New understanding of slipspace, the journey could be reduced to a couple weeks
