Halsey bought the journal at a [[Reach]] shop on August 2510. She kept it with her for the next four decades to document her research to counter the [[Insurrectionist]]s, and later, the [[Covenant]] threat. She also expressed her thoughts on her personal relationships with [[Jacob Keyes]] and [[Miranda Keyes|their daughter]], [[SPARTAN-II program|her Spartans]], and the apocalyptic [[Human-Covenant War]]. Halsey eventually left the journal behind at the [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex]], where it was retrieved by [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] personnel just before the site, along with [[SWORD Base]], was destroyed. | Halsey bought the journal at a [[Reach]] shop on August 2510.

At the conclusion of the war in 2553, various ONI personnel and psychologists read and analyzed the journal. Based on information from the journal, AI [[Black-Box]] suggested that Halsey was trying to cleanse her conscience by hiding her Spartans on [[Onyx]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 49''</ref> Both [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Serin Osman]] and [[Naomi-010]] also read the journal, and Osman subsequently came to despise Halsey for her extremely unethical work on the [[SPARTAN-II program]]. When finally meeting Halsey on ''[[Ivanoff]]'' station, ONI director [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] remarks that she was impressed by Halsey's abilities as an artist, referring to the plentiful sketches she had drawn throughout her journal.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 433''</ref> | At the conclusion of the war in 2553, various ONI personnel and psychologists read and analyzed the journal.
