Talk:Holly Tanaka

Quotes
Anyone have a good quote for the top of the page? Sith Venator  ( Dank Memes ) 17:52, 27 April 2016 (EDT)
 * Working on this article now actually and I just finished up with the Escalation stuff. The quote I currently have there is:

"On a recent mission to the Outer Colonies, I encountered one Sergeant Holly Tanaka, currently of the 412th Engineer Command… During my brief time with her, Sergeant Tanaka exhibited a mix of intelligence, grit, assertiveness, and selflessness that in my many years I've rarely encountered."

Oban
Also, unless she mentioned it in the game and I forgot, I'm pretty certain that Tanaka did not participate in the battle at Oban. -- NightHammer (talk)(contribs) 14:51, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

It says she did on the back of her card that came with the Limited Edition -Japeth555


 * It says that she participated in an operation to provide security to the testing of a Misriah Armory prototype on Oban, not that she participated in the battle there. -- NightHammer (talk)(contribs) 15:05, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

We know she was on the Infinity. The only way she ended up on Oban is if she ended up there because the Infinity went there after Ven III. -Japeth555

She know about the "new" Promethean that was first recorded on Oban, so we know she was there but not if she partook in the battle. Alertfiend - Warning, my comments may appear passive aggressive. (Converse) 17:53, 30 April 2016 (EDT)


 * "New kind too. Like they reported on Oban." To me, the line implies that she read about it in an after-action report. She might not have even been at Oban at the time. -- NightHammer (talk)(contribs) 23:48, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

She may not have had any run-ins with any knights on Oban, but it is literally not possible that she wasn't there at the time. We know she was part of the mission to Ven III that came right before the events on Oban, and we know she was still attached to the Infinity afterwards. Even if she didn't go to the surface, she was on the Infinity which was at Oban. We do know that she did go to the surface, however, thanks to the Limited Edition cards, which give her a mission on Oban to protect research material that followed the events on Ven III chronologically. Ergo, she was there on Oban during the battle of Oban in 2558. -Japeth555

Derp, I thought the quote was "Like the kind I saw on Oban" good to know. Alertfiend - Warning, my comments may appear passive aggressive. (Converse) 00:51, 1 May 2016 (EDT)

Possible Firefly reference
So in Episode 8 "Out of Gas", Mal (Nathan Fillion) says to Zoe that "Tanaka raves about this guy" in reference to Wash. Given that Buck and his squad were partly inspired by Firefly, and feature at least three of the cast, could this possibly be another reference, Tanaka having the last name that she does?The Ragin Pagan (talk) 05:40, June 8, 2019 (EDT)


 * No. We've seen concept art of a screen where you choose your character that has Tanaka alongside Thorne back when he was still going to be on the team, not Buck.


 * Ahh, that's disappointing. Still, a nice retroactive link to Firefly, I think.The Ragin Pagan (talk) 01:53, June 9, 2019 (EDT)
