Re: Huh? *Page Numbers*

In Response To: Re: Huh? *Page Numbers* (Bodie)

: Page Number: 288. It clearly states Truth and Reconciliation

: On pages 316 and 317, it says that the ship is the Truth and Reconciliation.
: Even Wellesly confirms it on page 317.

With regards to page 316 and 317. I had no doubt that Major Silva assaulted the Truth and Reconciliation. And there's no way I can deny that it does indeed clearly state Truth and Reconciliation on page 288, however, I will also say that it makes no sense. The Keyes blob was located in the ship's control room, the very same place where Silva and the Engineers went to attempt to drive the cruiser off of Halo. The book makes no mention of Silva encountering the Keyes blob, and the descriptions of the two ships are vastly different. As seen on the level Keyes, that ship is in no way space-ready. There are lakes of coolant leaks and the ship is overrun by Flood. The Truth and Reconciliation is described as ready to take off.

The only reason it hadn't, in fact, was to make sure all of the Flood were killed. But the level on infestation at that point was extremely minimal. In addition to that, the majority of Flood forms were Infection Forms, as seen by the attack on the Control Room of the ship once the Marines had begun to lift off.

It just doesn't match. Besides that timestamp, no where in the section describing the Chief's assault does it say Truth and Reconciliation, however on Major Silva's part, it mentions the cruiser by name several times. I take the Halo books as truth, because I cannot pick and choose the truths that I want to believe, so I'll accept that it is indeed the Truth and Reconciliation, but I don't particularly think it makes much sense.
