Talk:Olympic Tower

Name

As far as I recall the ONI building in New Alexandria is never referred to as Olympic Tower. The Fall of Reach places Olympic Tower inside the FLEETCOM Military Complex, which itself is in the Highland Mountains on the other side of the planet. Did we just assume that ONI couldn't have more than one skyscraper on Reach? --Our answer is at hand. (Talk to me.) 11:19, 30 March 2015 (EDT)

Reach definitely calls the building "Olympic Tower" somewhere — I believe it was either the in-game NAV point or objective description (EDIT: it's in a NAV point callout), though it's only called "ONI HQ" and such in dialog. But you're right in that its placement in New Alexandria is definitely a discrepancy, unless we're willing to ignore that HUD annotation. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 11:34, 30 March 2015 (EDT)

Ah. So there's another discrepancy that should have been fixed in the reprint. --Our answer is at hand. (Talk to me.) 11:51, 30 March 2015 (EDT)

I don't have the novel with me at work, but doesn't it just say in The Fall of Reach that Halsey was offered a corner office in Olympic Tower without it saying where exactly it was located? I didn't get the impression Olympic Tower was in the Castle complex. I may have missed a data point linking it explicitly. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 12:00, 30 March 2015 (EDT)

The Fall of Reach states that Olympic Tower was part of FLEETCOM HQ ("They had offered her a corner office in the prestigious Olympic Tower at FLEETCOM HQ." — p. 230, 2001 edition) which can be assumed to refer to the same complex CASTLE and the Spartans' training facilities are located in. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 12:04, 30 March 2015 (EDT)
