However, 343 Industries have clarified that the terminals are a condensed version of the more complex story in the novels and should not be taken as a literal account; in-universe, this is explained with the unreliability of the [[Domain]], through which the terminal records are presented.<ref>[http://waypointassets.blob.core.windows.net/mobilecontent/legacysupport/content/assets/en-us/podcast/343Sparkast_017.mp3 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''343 Sparkast 017'']</ref> | *The [[Terminal (Halo 4)|terminals]] introduce [[Terminal (Halo 4)#Relation to ''The Forerunner Saga''|many incongruities]] with ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]''.
