Trivia

• The story's name is a direct reference to the last line spoken in Halo Wars, by Serina: "Captain, wake up. Something has happened." The line plays after the end credits once the player has beaten the game on Legendary difficulty.

Mistakes

• Jerome-092 arms himself with a BR85HB battle rifle to fight the Flood infestation. This particular weapon did not enter service until late in the Human-Covenant War (and even then, only in limited numbers). As such, it could not have been aboard the Spirit of Fire when it left UNSC-controlled space in 2531.
