 * It might be explained in a later novel. Further, what she says may just be for illustratory purposes and she never literally said it - you get narration in films all the time.--  Fore  run  ner '' 02:17, 20 June 2011 (EDT)

oh ya, never thought of that, since the events of onyx happen before the fall of reach, so... somehow dr. halsey and her spartans must have gotten out of the dyson sphere, if the next onyx book comes out, hopefully it will say --The Grave Mind 11:42, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

I know I'm just anonymous here but Im a huge fan of Halo. And Im just telling you the events on Onyx happened AFTER the fall of reach. The events of Reach began sometime in July, 2552, up until August 30th, 2552, when the main battle took place. Then the captured Covenant flagship Ascendent Justice (which contained John 117, the-then marine staff-sergeant Avery Junior Johnson, ODST Corporal Locklear, and the ONI spook/ navy lieutenant Haverson) arrived at Reach in September 7th to pick up surviving spartans, Dr Halsey, and Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb. While the Battle of Onyx began around the same time the Battle of Earth was being fought, October 31st-November 3rd, to be exact. As for how she escaped, it is likely that the dyson sphere eventually collapsed, and at that time the UNSC might have regained control of that area, and a local UNSC ship found them and brought them back to Reach during its recolonization of July 7th, 2589. As for the other spartans and Mendez, since Halsey was the oldest and she survived that many years, unless a fatal accident occurred unto them, they should have as well survived and be rescued. Now for the spartans in the slipstream dimension, they couldn't age or be harmed at the time they were in slipspace, so they survived. It is also possible that they were brought home and the UNSC might have even been able to bring them out of slipspace and into the real-time dimension again. Obviously, none of this can be proven true or false, because it has never been discussed in the Halo Universe yet, however, it's my opinion and I think it's a reasonable one.
