Slipspace anomaly: Difference between revisions

One slipspace anomaly occurred in [[2552]], in which a [[Forerunner]] [[Deep-Space Artifact|artifact]] carried by the {{UNSCship|Apocalypso}} created a giant rip in both realspace in [[Luna]]r orbit and in Slipspace. The rip acted as a portal between the years 2552 and [[2004]], sending part of the ''Apocalypso''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s shipboard [[Artificial Intelligence|AI construct]], [[Melissa]], through it. In addition, all communications within the [[Solar System]] were silenced for over [[seven]] seconds. When the artifact was deactivated several weeks later, the rip closed and the AI was sent back to 2552.

On [[2552#November|November 3rd, 2552]], after witnessing the aftermath of the [[Battle of Installation 05]] and the beginning of the [[Great Schism]], the crew of the {{UNSCship|Dusk}} set course for Earth. The prowler arrived at Earth within hours by following the Slipspace wake of the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 289''</ref> Strangely, the Dreadnought did not arrive in the Sol system for a further five days, and it did not arrive at Earth until November 17th.<ref> [http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=16989 '''Bungie Weekly Update''' ''1.23.09'']</ref>
