*In the motion comic adaptation of ''The Mona Lisa'', the ''Red Horse'' is depicted as lacking any form of visual [[active camouflage]], and has numerous lights shining across its hull, making it conspicuously visible to the naked eye. While it may be inferred that the ship was cloaked from sensors outside the visible spectrum, prowlers have also been established to use [[photoreactive panel|photo-reactive coating]] as a form of active camouflage. Thus, it would be unlikely that such systems would not be in use during the ''Red Horse'''s sensitive mission in Alpha Halo's debris field, particularly after the appearance of a Covenant ship in the system. The lack of active camouflage may a liberty taken for the sake of presentation. | |||
