Lessons Learned

"I’m thrilled to return to the Halo universe for a fun-sized tale. My story in Halo: Fractures illuminates a particularly action-packed scene from Halo: New Blood from an all-new angle, and then it brings us back to a familiar location and opens the door for all sorts of stories to take place there in the future."

- Matt Forbeck

Lessons Learned is one of several short stories featured in Halo: Fractures: Extraordinary Tales from the Halo Canon. The short story was written by Matt Forbeck and will have narrative connections to Halo: Legacy of Onyx. It follows Spartan-IIIs Tom-B292 and Lucy-B091 at the time of Rudolf Schein's attack on the Spartan training station during the events of Halo: New Blood and their subsequent reassignment to Trevelyan.

Mistakes

 * The story erroneously identifies Jun-A266 as a member of the SPARTAN-III Beta Company.
 * The Spartan-IVs' electronic locator implant is called a "translocator"; translocation actually refers to slipspace-based teleportation, making this use of the term distinctly out of place.
