The events depicted in this terminal were later adapted and expanded (in a highly modified form) in ''Halo: Silentium''. The terminal depicts Omega Halo in orbit around a gas giant with several nearby moons; there are no signs of the battle described in the novel. Another key difference is that the Librarian and a team of Lifeworkers are shown investigating the attack on the human population shortly after its occurrence; the Librarian confronts the Didact via a hologram and rebukes for refusing to speak to her in person.<ref name="Terminal"/> In the book the Didact leaves as soon as the humans are composed, while the Librarian is focused on getting the remaining humans to the lesser Ark.<ref name="Silentium"/> | ||
Fictionally, ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s terminals are depicted as transmissions from within the [[Domain]], whereas ''Silentium'' is presented as legal testimony from several individuals who were present during the battle, most importantly the Librarian, contained within the memory banks of a [[Catalog]] and a [[monitor]]. | Fictionally, ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s terminals are depicted as transmissions from within the [[Domain]], whereas ''Silentium'' is presented as legal testimony from several individuals who were present during the battle, most importantly the Librarian, contained within the memory banks of a [[Catalog]] and a [[monitor]]. The terminals have since been explained as abstractions of historical events on behalf of the Domain with the narrative of ''Silentium'' being treated as factual. The real-world explanation is that [[343 Industries]] wished to tell the stories presented in the terminals within a short timeframe, leading to the compressed relation of the events in question.<ref>[http://waypointassets.blob.core.windows.net/mobilecontent/legacysupport/content/assets/en-us/podcast/343Sparkast_017.mp3 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''343 Sparkast 017'']</ref> | ||
