And that's kinda my whole point, that we don't know what the actual cause is, that it half seems the Assembly's purpose to do so, and that the article should be re-done to reflect that. We have one source from the data pads that tells us glassing is an impossiblity, and another that says terraforming efforts will take centuries. Definately let us take a look at the parts you plan to update, I'll be sure to want to see them, but I really don't think that we can come up with a fully conclusive answer.

::May I remind you and fellow fans of an old interview by Jason Jones (the last one in fact since he hasn't done one in 10 year) of which he states: | |||
''"Believing they were being led to an undiscovered human world, yes, the vast majority of the Covenant fleet which destroyed Reach followed the Pillar of Autumn to Halo (a minority of the navy's AIs actually disagree with this, believing instead that the Covenant followed the Pillar of Autumn because they had already found the Alpha Halo and wanted to prevent the humans from finding it as well). '''The Covenant is so much larger than the Earth Empire, however, that the divergence of a fleet of this size has no impact whatever on their search for Earth.'''"'' | |||
::[http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=6 here is the link.] This I think is still as valid as ever, also take into consideration that Ghosts of Onyx also relates to this as well, when Kurt-051 questions how large the Covenant fleet really was during the review of PROMETHEUS. | |||
::I feel like all and all the intent is to discredit the old material, that even up to this very point (and I mean the re-release of Halo: First Strike) has never been touched and is for a fact still viewed as valid. If that is I don't agree with it, if its the other way around, well, its just me. I full well understand the rules of Halo canon, but many of us as fans too quickly want to discard the old because of the new, Halo canon doesn't work that way. We are in a state of, they say one thing, then say another, but as it has been stated long ago they won't flat out discard the old material or render it non-canon because if that was the case Fall of Reach, The Flood and First Strike would be completely different books right now. They had the power to rewrite the entire mythology but kept it the same with minor tweaks. | |||
::All in all I do think there is a valid explanation, and a good way to integrate all of this into the article, of which I will work on, but if the intent is or was to discard and discredit the old canon because the science or a pad say's otherwise is premature. We, as fans, Bungie and 343I as creators, are not scientists and no matter what, they're going to get it wrong and they're going to have to find some convoluted, scientifically stupid way of explaining it for entertainment purposes. Bungie meant well, trying to rationalize something they didn't know a lot about, at the time; but the execution of it though is flawed. They either didn't explain it well or didn't take the older pieces of work into consideration. | |||
::That, or it comes down to we don't understand what they were saying. In any case I will pass along my updates here before I make them public (by public I mean article wise). [[User talk:Durandal-217|Durandal-217]] 02:40, 8 January 2011 (EST) | |||
