::Disappointing. I viewed the previous two as setting up the resurgent Covenant remnant as a threat, and I thought this novel might perhaps pay off Telcam and Mdama, with Mdama hijacking Telcam's Covenant, perhaps revealing his collaboration with ONI in the process, setting up tensions between the Arbiter's forces and the UNSC, with Hood embarrassed and enraged at Parangosky's double-dealing. It looks like that isn't going to be happening, if this is the last Traviss novel. A shame. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 23:44, 28 January 2014 (EST) | ::Disappointing.

It's been rumored that this time around Traviss was restricted from heavily directing the ''Halo'' universe's next storyline, to limit the damage. Just rumor, but I guess lessened damage is better than huge derailings to make up rip our hair out. | |||
Also, it amuses me that the Covenant currency is called "gekz". As there is a Sangheili named [[Gek]], could this mean the human equivalent of his name is "Bill"?

BB's videos very conveniently show exactly what Naomi needs to see, from ONI's standpoint; she's just finished chatting with her father for the first time in decades, and then BB hands her a video of Halsey lying about ''her father''. And she has to rely entirely on these videos because she still can't remember the details. That's awfully good timing. Hell, BB himself could've made (and/or altered) the videos in his spare time if it wasn't a Section II project, probably as part of a neatly-arranged "Halsey Media Packet" in the event Parangosky decides to go public with the whole thing. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 11:50, 29 January 2014 (EST) | BB's videos very conveniently show exactly what Naomi needs to see, from ONI's standpoint; she's just finished chatting with her father for the first time in decades, and then BB hands her a video of Halsey lying about ''her father''.

:Probably not intentional enough to become an addition to the article, but I won't mind inserting into my "headcanon". Very handy how Halsey gets to become their scapegoat. Perhaps the cycle shall repeat and Osman will one day find herself being the patsy for every ONI crime instead. Must be the ONI way.
