Few small details from the Encyclopedia. Is the note about generations too much, not enough, just right?

In [[2537]], six years after the events on [[Trove]], Serina had begun to fall into the early stages of [[rampancy]], but continued her essential functions on the ''Spirit''. On January 1, Serina sought to conduct routine maintenance aboard the vessel, awakening several engineers from cryo-sleep. One of them, [[Violeta Maldini]] was then attacked by a [[Pod infector]] that had been nesting out of sight after the events on the Shield World, infecting her. Serina imposed lockdown on [[cryo chamber]] Foxtrot 7, and did not kill the parasite as the onset of her rampancy led her to be more interested in studying it, neglecting the possible danger it presented to the rest of the crew. She watched Maldini mutate into a [[Flood carrier form|carrier form]], breeding new infection forms and utilizing Maldini's knowledge of cryo chamber codes to awaken more crew members to infect. Realizing her mistake as the Flood threatened to breach quarantine, Serina awoke Professor [[Ellen Anders]] (and, indirectly, [[Jerome-092]]) who managed to kill all Flood aboard the vessel, ensuring the survival of the ''Spirit'' and its remaining crew.<ref name="Something">'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''', ''[[Something has Happened]]''</ref> | In [[2537]], six years after the events on [[Trove]], Serina had begun to fall into the early stages of [[rampancy]], but continued her essential functions on the ''Spirit''.

After these events, the now rampant Serina began her [[final dispensation]], set up by Anders,{{Ref/Reuse|Something}} on January 4, leaving one final status report for Captain Cutter upon his eventual awakening and was soon after completely terminated.{{Ref/Reuse|TS}} | After these events, the now rampant Serina began her [[final dispensation]], set up by Anders,{{Ref/Reuse|Something}} on January 4, leaving one final status report for Captain Cutter upon his eventual awakening and was soon after completely terminated.{{Ref/Reuse|TS}} One of her final acts was quietly restarting production lines aboard the Spirit of Fire to replenish materiel that would later prove pivotal against the Banished.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
As part of the crew's hope to leave a trail, Serina created a series of preprogramed maintenance sheds and data drops. As per a promise she and Cutter made to [[John Forge]], Serina included in these a message Forge had recorded for his daughter. The UNSC recovered at least one of these with the data falling into the hands of [[343 Guilty Spark]] during his time with the UNSC. In [[2557]], Spark was able to explain to Rion her father's sacrifice and give her the message that Serina had kept her promise and left behind for Rion.<ref>'''[[Halo: Renegades]]''', ''pages 312-313''</ref> | As part of the crew's hope to leave a trail, Serina created a series of preprogramed maintenance sheds and data drops.
