Wouldnt it be better to provide a link to the prologue, rather than just put the whole thing up?

With the way the prologue describes Johnson and his team's uniforms it seems like they would be ODSTs.

As quoted from the article, "It is the year 2524"..."In this unlikely group of heroes, one stands above the rest...a young Marine Staff Sergeant named Avery Johnson.". So, this means Johnson was a staff sergeant in both 2524, and in 2552 during Halo 1. So, was he the same rank for 28 years, or was he demoted, and regained his rank by the battle of Instillation 04? Or was he possibly a civilian for 28 years? If not, I'd imagine after 28 years he would've gotten a promotion to an officers rank, and maybe be a captain, rather than the sergeant major he is.

Okay, so this really needs to be updated. We have previews and hints about what "will" happen in the book, but nothing that discusses what's in the actual book. The other articles on the characters in the book also need to be updated, since hardly any of the personal relationships and revelations made in the book have been added to the articles.
