:In fact, I don't really like considering as an inconsistency—or a potential inconsistency—something that is created in order to expand on an original scenario (e.g.: Bungie complexifying the events of Reach). For me, a real inconsistency that was "fixed" afterwards was the Scarab's designation, for example. The [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/scarab Waypoint article] clearly established that both the ''Halo 2'' and the ''Halo 3/Reach'' models had the same designation (Type-47) due to a UNSC administration quirk, and proceeded to give more detailed designations (Type-47A Protos and Type-47B Deutoros). That's the example I wanted to add, something clear and simple, without the whole expanded universe of ''Reach'' including 5 or 6 sources dealing with the events. Though I felt maybe the Scarab example was too minor.

== Olympic Tower, New Alexandria == | |||
Is it possible that Olypmic Tower wasn't destroyed in the glassing, and was later taken on August 30th? Likewise, is it possible that New Alexandria is the location that was mentioned, and is a sort of Military City rather than strictly civilian, as there is a weapons developer tower located there?--[[User:The Ragin Pagan|The Ragin Pagan]] ([[User talk:The Ragin Pagan|talk]]) 12:40, September 10, 2021 (EDT) | |||

I was reading (well, listening, really) to First Strike again, and I noticed that, when the Ascendant Justice was boarded, the Master Chief and his team were in a Longsword, and the Pelican that Johnson escaped Halo on was destroyed during the boarding process. However, once the ship is captured, it is referred to multiple times as a Pelican, not a Longsword.

: I believe the audiobook you have is based on the old 2001 print of Halo: First Strike. The subsequent issues of the book correctly refer to the Longsword as a Longsword in all instances as noted in the [[List of rectified inconsistencies in the Halo series#Halo: First Strike|rectified inconsistencies page]]. I think the [https://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/halo-first-strike/365447 new audiobook] released earlier this year should be using the reprint.

== Libration vs. Lagrange == | |||
In all three "A Master Chief Story" books, Troy Denning mistakenly refers to Lagrange points as Libration points. | |||
:1. That's not an inconsistency. An inconsistency is a discrepancy internal to the Halo universe that could be indicative of a retcon. | |||
:2. Lagrange points can also be called libration points. See the [[Wikipedia:Lagrange points|the Wikipedia article]] on the subject. | |||

== Using TEAMCOM in a gravity lift == | |||
In Shadows of Reach chapter 20, when Blue Team is rappelling down to CASTLE Base, Master Chief’s rappel line is melted by a ravager shot, and he falls into a gravity lift. He is unable to use TEAMCOM to let Blue Team know he is alright because of interference from the gravity lift, but a few pages later, when he falls into the gravity lift a second time, he is able to use TEAMCOM without any problems. | |||
