Lyrenne Castilla: Difference between revisions

Three months later, in September [[2501]], Cole was on leave on the colony [[Roost]] in the [[Lambda Aurigae system]] when he met Lyra tending bar on a beach. She told him she got her PhD in nuclear engineering before moving to Roost to fish and pour drinks. The two hit it off immediately. Cole would return to Roost the next three times he was granted leave. Preston Cole and Lyra Castilla were married November [[2502]] during Cole's fourth trip to Roost. When he wrote home to tell his brother of his wedding, Cole reported that Lyra was pregnant. He also said that he was truly happy for the first time he could remember.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole"'',  ''page 454''</ref>

On June 13, [[2503]] [[Admiral]] [[Harold Stanforth]] sent Cole [[UNSC Transmission 08871D-00]], informing him that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] had determined that Lyrenne Castilla was a member of the insurgency. Cole was given the opportunity to try to convince her to turn herself in, but when he got to the bar on Roost he found only a transcript of his conversation with the captain of the ''Bellicose'', who he now realized was Castilla. Castilla likely gave birth to their child shortly after, while she was in hiding.<ref group="note">Cole's letter to his brother mentions she was pregnant in November 2502. When Cole wrote of her fleeing in June 2503 he made no mention of her taking their child with her, suggesting she had not yet given birth, though she would have been at least 7 months pregnant.</ref>
