Do we know (from Second Stories, etc.) if the mission actually took place the same day as the terrorist attack on Sedra? Seems a little quick of them to work everything out and then travel to Alpha Shard within one day, particularly without one of those Forerunner tech-enhanced slipspace drives. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 00:25, 9 December 2014 (EST)
- I wasn't for sure if the Mission actually took place in the same day, but when making the article I didn't see any evidence pointing towards it taking say a day later.Sith-venator Wavingstrider

- Sure, but it's always a possibility. The Halo CE and Halo 4 campaigns take place over a span of four and five days, respectively, despite both being only hours of in-game time. Halos 2 and 3 have weeks-long gaps for slipspace jumps. Now I'm not saying they couldn't have reached Alpha Shard in a few hours—we don't know how close to Sedra it is, or how fast the Condor is supposed to be, though going by the Karen Traviss tradition of outdated slipspace-capable dropships they should make the trip in hours (a la the Calypso in Mortal Dictata), pre-Forerunner human slipspace velocities be damned. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 00:49, 9 December 2014 (EST)
