Just dawned on me that this quote from 343 Guilty Spark in Halo CE has a fresh meaning.
"You can't imagine how exciting this is! To have a record of all our lost time. Human history, is it? Fascinating. Oh, how I will enjoy every moment of it's categorization."
That line seems much more specific now, given what was revealed in Glasslands about his origin. If they really intended for him to be referring to himself as a human being all the way back in Halo CE, I'm thoroughly impressed. My favorite thing about serial fiction is going back and finding where story seeds were planted early on.
