{{Quote|We were well into development on Halo 5: Guardians when Peter started work on Halo: Hunters in the Dark, so we were able to inform him quite a bit on who Vale was and how she thought, but we were really only talking about our own experiences working with her in the course of Halo 5, when she's already part of Fireteam Osiris. Peter took what we said and figured out how Vale behaved before she was a Spartan, which again fed back into our work on the game and has the effect of making Vale more rounded as a person and therefore more "real" in the long run.|[[Brian Reed]], on Olympia Vale's character development<ref name="jurassic ark">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-jurassic-ark '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Jurassic Ark'']</ref>}}
