Re: The Enkidu story as of today
Posted By: LietLivesDate: 5/4/04 3:24 a.m.

In Response To: The Enkidu story as of today (Red Loser)

: The Enkidu story revolves around the UNSC Lebanon ; its AI, Enkidu; and its
: encounter with Forerunner and Covenant artifacts just before the fall of
: Reach. Hopefully, this summary will give a chronological timeline of what
: has taken place so far.

Ah, I was tempted to try this myself, but I'm glad you saved me the time, that way I can pick yours apart instead. ,' )

: PROLOGUE

: ii. Re: Amendment Request OPORD SENTRYWALK (Concerning events on 1 August
: 2552: 29 days before the fall of Reach)

: It appears that the Lebanon is involved in some sort of operation known as
: SENTRYWALK. Based on its mission (a patrol), it seems at present that
: SENTRYWALK is a patrol operation by UNSC ships, possibly to determine
: Covenant presence in the area surrounding Reach.

: Captain Mathers is apparently concerned because the Lebanon will not be
: escorted. His request for another ship to accompany him are denied; the
: UNSC does not want to delay SENTRYWALK, and it cannot spare another vessel
: for the operation.

: The nervousness and urgency surrounding SENTRYWALK may be due to the UNSC's
: awareness that Covenant ships are closing in on Reach.

While the mail was sent before the Lebanon began its patrol, it is being accessed from the archive on the 25 of August. And the person accessing it apparently isn't the Captain. Might be worth another notation in the appropriate spot.

: 7. How I Spent Your Summer Vacation 7 September 2552: 11 days since last
: transmission, 7 days since the fall of Reach

: The Lebanon has returned from the sun and is aerobraking (see HTML source)
: over Frigid. This simply means that it is skipping in and out of the
: planet's atmosphere in order to slow down to speeds suitable for
: crash-landing. This explains Enkidu's comment: "What a pretty trail
: you left in the sky. Just like a falling star." The ship is low on
: power ("LOW-BATT" message).

I don't think the idea is to slow down and crash land. I doubt any amount of slowing down would make a crash landing on a planet survivable in a UNSC capital ship. I think the original plan was to establish a stable orbit so that the crew members who abandoned ship could be retrieved.

Just my comments. I like the combination of brevity and inclusiveness.
