::::Could Macer survive? Quite possibly. I'd like Randall to make it out but I highly doubt that'll happen. I hope some greater agency behind the attack is revealed in later episodes, making the former Spartan's death more meaningful. Right now it seems as though the element was created by chance; the attack was carried out for the usual xenophobic reasons; and the smugglers and Lekgolo are simply present by happenstance. --[[User:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">'''''Our vengeance is at hand.'''''</span>]] [[File:Gravemind.svg|14px]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">Talk to me.</span>]]) 06:37, 21 November 2014 (EST) | ::::Could Macer survive?

:::::I'm definitely hoping there's something to tie up all these disparate plot threads. It's a hard for me to buy that an element with effects that specific would be generated by pure coincidence, let alone that anyone would actually end up finding out about its properties when it's only found in a location like this. I was hoping the threat on the Halo fragment would end up being an aspect of the element or something mutated by it to connect the two (for some reason I immediately think of the black goo from ''Prometheus''), but it remains to be seen how they'll fit the Lekgolo in the grander scheme of things in the later episodes, if they do it at all. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if it was revealed later on that someone (Osman?) engineered the ground mission to Alpha Shard for the sake of studying some deeper threat present there. With a "crew expendable" caveat of course. As an aside I found it a little strange that ''Escalation''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ''Exposure'' arc isn't apparently the prequel to ''Nightfall' as I'd assumed—it seemed like it was being pushed out just the right moment to coincide with the webseries' release, not to mention the subject matter of a bioweapon, which has been rather unusual in the ''Haloverse'' so far. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 08:09, 21 November 2014 (EST) | |||
