 ==Production notes==
-Kelly, Fred, and Linda are depicted wearing armor similar in design to John-117's superficially overhauled [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI MJOLNIR armor]], even though the Master Chief's suit was uniquely upgraded by Cortana during his time in cryosleep and based on the likeness of a [[Mark IV]] variant.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 10''</ref> A post by [[Catalog#Trivia|Catalog]] suggests that Blue Team has received similar upgrades (perhaps for the second generation of Mark VI) due to their priority access to new equipment, though when this occurred is unclear.<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm3003659_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post3003659 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction'' (post 3003659)]</ref> John's and Blue Team's upgrades may have been derived from plans that existed before John lost contact with the UNSC. Alternately, these upgrades may have occurred at some point between the Master Chief's first contact with ''Infinity'' on July 22 (via FTL communication with HIGHCOM) and his reunion with Blue Team on July 26. Regardless of the backstory for Blue Team's armor, the members of Team Black are shown wearing their original [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Black|MJOLNIR Black]] variant armor which is superficially identical to the original Mark VI.
 ===Mistakes===
 *Kelly-087 and Linda-058's respective roles as scout and sniper are reversed in one panel. The same panel misspells Frederic-104's name as "Fredric".
 *Linda-058 is depicted with light blue eyes similar to Fred and Kelly; in the novels, her eye color is stated to be dark emerald green. Her hair is also depicted as being copper colored rather than the distinctive "blood-red" specified in the novels.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 150'' (2001 edition)</ref>
+*[[Blue Team]] uses a Longsword fighter to reach [[Installation 03]]. However, Longswords lack slipspace drives which had forced [[John-117]] to hijack the Covenant flagship ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'' following the [[Battle of Installation 04]] and thus couldn't be used as a transport to the Halo ring.
