Miranda Keyes: Difference between revisions

Miranda Halsey was born on [[2525#February|February 28, 2525]] on the planet [[Reach]] where her mother, [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Elizabeth Halsey]], lived and worked. Though Miranda occupied Catherine's every non-working thought there were many periods during her first year of life where her mother was absent. Barely a month after giving birth the doctor had left the [[Epsilon Eridani system]], bound for [[Lambda Serpentis system|Lambda Serpentis]] by March 30. The ship she had departed aboard, the {{UNSCShip|Atlas}}, was still patrolling that system by April 22. And even after she finally did return to Reach, it was not long before Miranda's mother found herself leaving once more for [[Sargasso]], this time in pursuit of [[Daisy-023|a runaway]] [[Spartan]] trainee. Another distraction pulled her away later that year and though as of September 11 she had only just returned, she left the planet again the very next morning and didn't come back until November 2. Catherine had only a few days during which she could see her daughter after that, because [[Human-Covenant War|emerging circumstances]] outside of her control took her offworld for a final time that year on November 6. During these times without her mother Miranda was left to the care of others.
