And in about 90 seconds they'll be all over us.' Cortana: 'But I've isolated approach signatures from multiple CCS-class battle groups, make it three capital ships per group.Keyes examines the main screen, pulls his pipe out of his mouth and shakes some ash off it. Cortana: 'Our fighters are mopping up the last of their recon picket now, nothing serious.'.The screen shows a diagram of Threshold with Installation 04 in orbit. Cortana: 'They were waiting for us on the far side of the planet.'.

Keyes looks at a bridge crewman's console. No one could have missed the hole we tore in subspace.' Keyes begins pacing around, looking at viewscreens. As for tracking us all the way from Reach.at light speed, my maneuvering options were limited.' Cortana: 'Get here first? The Covenant ships have always been faster.Inside the ship's bridge, the camera focuses on Keyes. Cortana: 'I think we both know the answer to that.'.Captain Jacob Keyes: 'Cortana, all I need to know is did we lose them?'.The camera slowly turns and zooms in on the Pillar of Autumn. In Anniversary, the camera fades into the Autumn and pans to show Installation 04 and Threshold as the ship moves. The Pillar of Autumn appears, moving slowly toward the ring. Installation 04 is visible above Threshold. Nothing else seems different, so if anyone got aboard the Pillar of Autumn with an MA 37, you'd just put in the 60-round mag and be fine.The UNSC Pillar of Autumn approaching Installation 04.įades into space. The MA 5 C is what you see in Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST and is pretty much an MA 5 B with a smaller magazine, which the MA 37 is a functional clone of. A combined out-of-universe and in-universe explanation would be that the guns the Marines with Captain Keyes have are supposed to be MA 5 Bs since the MA 37 was an Army version.If any place was going to have specialized weapons on its racks, it would be that ship. If an in-universe reason is NEEDED, the Pillar of Autumn was supposed to go on a special mission before the attack on Reach threw that out the window. It's gameplay and story segregation most than anything else.came from the Pillar of Autumn in Halo: CE, but that brings up another question: Since the Pillar of Autumn was docked at Reach right before the events of Combat Evolved, and the equipment onboard was different than the counterparts on Reach, why was it noticeably different than the ones available on-planet? And on the topic of it, then why is there a pelican from the Pillar of Autumn containing marines with the same MA37s used on Reach? Were their guns never located within any player-accessible locations on the ship? The MA5B is the only Assault Rifle version in any of the games to have 60-round magazines, and I can't come up with any explanation other than the Pillar of Autumn being the only place 60-round magazines were stored, as it's implied all the humans' ammunition, weapons, vehicles, marines, etc.In **The Flood**, she knows what Master Chief's mission is and is there specifically to pick him up.How is it that Cortana somehow manages to regain contact with Foehammer in 'The Maw' after last talking to her in 'Assault on the Control Room'? Also, what was Foehammer doing around the Pillar Of Autumn's crash site, to begin with?.It's the reason that she stopped Chief from activating Halo on Two Betrayals She stayed behind at the end of Assault on the Control Room.How come Cortana isn't around during the 343 Guilty Spark level? I'm assuming it's to add a feeling of loneliness to increase the suspense and tension.
