How long do you reckon it took Truth's ship to breach atmosphere?

Looks like it exited slipspace just beyond the moon, so Chief was fucking around on that ship for a few hours? Days?

Two weeks.

The time span between Halo 2 and Halo 3 was two weeks.
He's asking how long it took Truth to get from orbit to ground. It takes 30 minutes for the space shuttle to get from orbit to the ground so if say it took Truth about an hour.

I derped then.

Two weeks and an hour.

"Master Chief? Mind telling me what you are doing on that ship?

"Sir. Finishing this fight"

*jumps out of ship and lands in woods unconscious*





yep, you sure are finishing it

If i'm not mistaken, chief was onboard the ship for a while between Halo 2 and 3 trying to fight his way to Truth and he only jumped out because he was making no progress and Truth was finaly landing.

I'm actually interested in what happened. Is there a book or something that explains this?

I have a download link if you want it

It just sounds odd that he's only saying his rank, it's not a huge deal, but it sounds weird

He's been identified as Master Chief since CE, and the only one to do so, and the only Spartan with the rank of MCPO.

Halo: Initiation was done by someone at 343 wasn't it?

Try Reading some of the terminals Bungie wrote. It's like they can't string a sentence together without having a few symbols and letters that don't make sense. Example:
Quote
"If a large bomb is allowed to detonate in the Engineering Section, the Marathon would be ^&2``~<Colloquialism Search Error #F9C>"

Forget the whole "Corrupt/Under Attack AI" Charade and let me piece the damn backstory together you jerks omg. They even had shit like this in Halo 3.

You're acting like you had to struggle to read the terminals when actually they're mostly just plain text.

Actually, part of what made reading the terminals hard is that they're time locked.

Their writing is rather dry and you come across longer and less common words you may not understand or might have to re-read the sentences over again for them to make sense. As soon as you opened a terminal up you had at the most, 30-40 seconds of reading time before you were ejected.

i think the point of that is there's no direct english translation for whatever word's supposed to be there

idk i think its kinda cool, makes it really seem like an alien language that's being translated

no. That shit was easy, to comprehend, I'm talking about the ones where they substituted words that don't actually make sense, at all. Of course I'm exaggerating to make a point. A lot of people do it.

I still prefer Bungie's original Halo story. Where Humans are Forerunners. No mantle war, ancient humans, chosen one, Promethean bullshit.

Was 343 Guilty Spark's quote to Chief just his Rampancy going overboard, or is there another canon explanation for that?

Humans like the Chief have geas within them. These geas contain ancient shit that connects them to old Forerunners long gone. Like Chakas' connection to the Lord of Admirals and stuff.

No problem. I think that the Chief might have the IsoDidact's imprint within him, that would explain why 343 Guilty Spark confused him with the IsoDidact in the first place.
