Furthermore, it is stated that when Miranda received command of her first ship, {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, she had invited Halsey to attend the ceremony but Halsey refused, stating, "I didn't go. Because her father would be there? Because I am neck deep in the final stages of a half-dozen projects? I know why I didn't go. I don't want to say it." Another hint toward Miranda's parentage is that Halsey wrote in the journal that Miranda had her surname changed to "Keyes", which she believed was done to try and impress her father. It is also mentioned by Halsey that Cortana's appearance somewhat resembled Miranda. Since Cortana was derived from Dr. Halsey's own brain, this remark would not have much sense or relevance had Miranda not been biologically related to her.

The journal also provides an explanation of why Cortana was seen on Reach as well as mentioned in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', assisting [[John-117]] and his team of SPARTANs on their mission. It seems Halsey needed to analyze the [[Forerunner]] symbols and systems in Professor Sorvad's site. Halsey and Cortana both independently figured out the "Solomonic solution" which helped "divide" Cortana and allow "parts of her" to help Halsey while updating her "incarnate" self on the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}} until the last minute. The two parts were reunited sometime after [[The Package (data storage unit)|Cortana's fragment]] was delivered by [[SPARTAN-B312]] to Captain Keyes before the ''Pillar of Autumn'' left Reach.

It provides an explanation for the inconsistent numbers of Spartans, particularly involving those not present during the [[Operation: RED FLAG]] briefing. Halsey states, "That lie about all the Spartans gathered here, save for [[Gray Team|Gray]] - will that come back to haunt me?" Halsey notes that the bodies of the candidates who were killed during the augmentation procedures were placed in cryo-stasis, with the possibility that they may some day be resuscitated, though they appeared to be buried in space. She also notes that at least some of the candidates who were crippled could some day be rehabilitated and sent to active duty.

The journal also confirms that Dr. Halsey was aware of the existence of SPARTANs who were "not [hers]" well before the events of ''[[Halo: First Strike]]''. She and [[Kalmiya]] had uncovered numerous ONI documents and encrypted files that suggested the existence of [[SPARTAN-III program|another SPARTAN program]] after the {{UNSCship|Hopeful}} was deployed outside the Epsilon Eridani system for a week, carrying various [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM|"carcinogenic", "mutanogenic", and "experimental" drugs]]. Upon his return, [[Admiral]] [[Ysionris Jeromi]] informed her that he knew little of what was going on, and could tell her nothing. Finally, Halsey reveals that her suspicions of other SPARTANS were confirmed when she met [[Noble Team]] at [[Sword Base]]. Later, at [[CASTLE Base]], she discovered that they, with the exception of [[Jorge-052]], had been SPARTAN-IIIs.
