One post on the board says: "Missing: Calico Cat: Answers to [[Jonesy]]" This is a reference to ''Alien'' and ''Aliens'', two movies that ''[[Halo universe|Halo]]'' draws inspiration from, to include the banter of a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] soldier. Jones, sometimes called Jonesy, was a Calico cat in the series and was a survivor of the first movie, along with Ripley. | One post on the board says: "Missing: Calico Cat: Answers to [[Jonesy]]" This is a reference to ''Alien'' and ''Aliens'', two movies that ''[[Halo universe|Halo]]'' draws inspiration from, to include the banter of a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] soldier.
