Terminal (Halo 4): Difference between revisions

Line 60:

The Didact's monologue to the Lord of Admirals in Terminal 4 is taken nearly verbatim from ''[[Halo: Primordium]]'', albeit abridged. The circumstances of the Lord of Admirals' surrender differ from ''Primordium''; in his recounting, Forthencho states that he spent the final hours of the [[Siege of Charum Hakkor|battle for Charum Hakkor]] in a [[Citadel Charum|Precursor citadel]] on the planet's surface, as opposed to personally capitulating to the Didact aboard his flagship as seen in the terminal.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''pages 240-241''</ref>

The events of Terminal 5 are not depicted directly in ''Silentium'', though they are implied to have occurred between the Didact's recovery near [[Uthera Midgeerrd]] and his return to [[Nomdagro]]. In ''Silentium'', the conversion of the organic Prometheans into mechanical Knights is not addressed until much later. The Didact's physiological changes wrought by his self-experimentation are never mentioned in the novel; rather, it is implied that his face has become haggard due to the psychological stress he endured during his interrogation by the [[Gravemind]].

The events of Terminal 5 are not depicted directly in ''Silentium'', though they are implied to have occurred between the Didact's recovery near [[Uthera Midgeerrd]] and his return to [[Nomdagro]] (a four-year span).<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 28, 197''</ref> In ''Silentium'', the conversion of the organic Prometheans into mechanical Knights is not addressed until much later. The Didact's physiological changes wrought by his self-experimentation are never mentioned in the novel; rather, it is implied that his face has become haggard due to the psychological stress he endured during his interrogation by the [[Gravemind]].

The Didact's attack on Omega Halo from Terminal 6 is adjusted to take place during the siege of the [[greater Ark]], rather than what appears to a lull in the war after the Halo has been deployed. In addition, both Terminals 3 and 6 depict the Halo as orbiting a large rocky planet surrounded by several moons, while the novel places the ring over the greater Ark in [[intergalactic space|extragalactic space]] by the time of the events of Terminal 6. In the book the Librarian witnesses the humans' composition firsthand rather than arriving after the incident. Likewise, in ''Silentium'', the Librarian only learns of the Didact's plans with the Promethean Knights once she makes her way to Requiem in pursuit of the Didact, whereas in the terminal, the Didact communicates his scheme to her in a holographic exchange before she leaves to confront her husband. In the novel, the pair also do not confront one another until much later, as both are attempting to flee the Ark before its destruction, the latter with some of the last known survivors of humanity.
