Lasky's old friend
This is just a theory, but I believe Lasky's old friend might be Michael Sullivan. With computer hacking/slicing skills like that, he would probably be able to figure out who is the spy. Either that or it could be April Orenski, but it seems most likely. Anyway, hope we find out soon. It would be nice to know what happened to the other two survivors. But in the meantime, does anybody else have any ideas who Lasky's old friend might be? --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 15:46, 13 January 2014 (EST)Xamikaze330
Issue 5
So are we going to sit here and pretend that issue 5 is not talking about the UNSC Spirit of Fire, because the UNSC Spirit of Fire did lose contact with the rest of the UNSC In 2531 followering its disappearance to the Forerunner Shield World, which is 27 years prior to 2558 during the same time the events of Halo Escalation takes place, close to 30 years as mentioned in the summary. I mean like that's a pretty big coincidence to drop unless they pull some maneuver and have something to back it up.-Bronze98(not sure how to leave proper signatures)
- It is SOF because Waypoint, when they realized how painful obvious the teaser blurb was, deleted all comments about the SOF from the Escalation thread on their forums and declared it a leak. Despite 343 giving Dark Horse the blurbs to tease the issue... SMH. ProphetofTruth (talk) 02:18, 19 January 2014 (EST)

- This wiki is about the facts and canon of Halo. Saying it's definitely the Spirit of Fire is still supposition at this point, not a known fact. I would say caution is in order until it becomes a fact when amending wiki entries. I'm not in the loop so I honestly don't know and I too think (and hope) it is the Spirit of Fire, but recall before the Halo 4 Visual Guide came out, most people 'knew' that the Infinity-berthed frigates were Charon-class and how much editing needed to occur here when it was revealed it was the Strident-class...don't jump the gun. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 12:01, 19 January 2014 (EST)
I believe its more likely the former UNSC Belleraphon ,with Cole being alive, they hint at it in evolutions, the ship is lost for over 30 years, the Spirit of fire is not important enough ,Cutter is a regular officer, the scientist can't really contribute anything since the UNSC already has more knowledge and the covenant are no longer important, the spartans while a good asset are not that important, Infity is of course far more powerfull than the SoF. Now Cole is a game changer. --GabeScott (talk) 07:41, 14 February 2014 (EST)
- The Bellerophon (or Bellicose, if you want) was last sighted in 2543, 15 years before Halo: Escalation. --They're coming. They're hungry. (talk) 08:44, 14 February 2014 (EST)
It wasn't a confirmed sighting, it disapeared much more early. Besides we have to look at it from real world perspective, there is no evidence spirit of fire would ever be recovered and there isn't much reason to it, except hey its you guys, but they hint at Coles survival and his ex-wife assiting him, her being the captain of that ship as well and it would give major story development a great admiral returning ,possibly with a new outlook on life, spirit of fire has no major characters the scientist is no Halsey, Cutter while a good commander wasn't really anything special, the ship is way outdated, few spartans, who never really had much character development. My first thought was SoF ,but I recenlty red evolutions and given that the Belerophon is mentioned as missing for 30 years, speculation on Cole defecting and being alive, perhaps they will encounter his teritory if he has a big enough force he could pose a threat to Infinity, besides Cutter would have no past with Hood, except an unmentioned one, they could have been at about the same career path, but its doubtfull, Cutter didn't seem to have that kind of personality ,where Cole often went againts authority and did not respect failures, Hood might have been either a senior or junior officer clashing with Cole --GabeScott (talk) 10:44, 14 February 2014 (EST)
- Again, the SoF was missing for 30 years. Where was it mentioned that the Bellerophon was missing for 30 years?? And what do you mean by "..no evidence spirit of fire would ever be recovered..". The Sof was traveling back to UNSC territory even w/o its slipspace drive, so either way they were going to make it back, regardless of how long it took (of course within the hints of the final cutscene of Halo Wars and "Escalation" they encounter the covenant or something else first). Plus it would really benefit the Halo community if "343i" recovered Red Team (which IMO are major characters). I'm sure everyone would like that - I know I would. Plus with the direction 343i has been going, anything goes - 343i can make up a story about Hood having an issue with Cutter whether it was mentioned previously or not. Not to say I don't want to see the return of Cole, but with the hints from 343i, more than likely it'll be the SoF making a return IMO.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 13:03, 14 February 2014 (EST)
