*Dr. Catherine Halsey writes in her journal about previously reuniting with [[Lieutenant]] [[Jacob Keyes]] while attending a conference at the [[University of Calippus]]. Their rendezvous left Halsey pregnant with their daughter, [[Miranda Keyes|Miranda]].{{Ref/Reuse|journal}}{{Ref/Note|The journal entry is dated November 17, 2524, and Halsey writes as though the events occurred recently. However, Miranda Keyes was born February 28, 2525, which would place the date of their rendezvous in late May or early June 2524. Although Halsey often went months and even years without writing in her journal, there is another entry in August which makes no mention of the incident or her pregnancy. It is therefore possible that the date of the journal entry is anachronistic, and should be dated five months earlier.}}
