Re: End of Prototype *Legends spoils*

In Response To: Re: End of Prototype *Legends spoils* (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: The Cole Protocol is 2535, not 2534.

: The Protocol itself is established in 2535. This is from the Xbox.com
: timeline info and reinforced by the Halo Encyclopedia.

: It is mentioned in The Cole Protocol novel that the Midsummer Night is
: enforcing said protocol indicating it was recently 'rolled out'. I think
: elsewhere it says something about a metter of weeks. At any rate, the
: novel's events can't be from 2534.

Searching the book for the word "years" on Amazon, I found:

"the past nine years, since the first encounters with the aliens"
= 2534/01/17 - 2535/01/17 (9 years 0 days vs. 9 years 364.9 days)

"The Covenant started glassing planets nine years ago"
= 2534/02/23 - 2535/02/23

"Cole's major victory at the Battle of Harvest four years ago"
= 2535/02/04 (HW "now it's ours again") - 2536/02/04 2536/01/17

"aliens first made contact ten years ago, at the planet Harvest"
= 2535/02/04 - 2536/01/17

"Regret had not worked the last ten years of his life to watch the Covenant die"

So by literal interpretation and assuming I have the dates right, the book covers at least the range 2535/01/17 - 2535/02/04. I'd just need an upper bound for how long from "The Covenant started glassing planets nine years ago" to the book's end to figure out the latest possible date for the end, which is what I generally use for sorting.
