| == More images? ==
| |
| I was just looking up images of Miranda around the web, and there's a pathetically small number of them around, and those few available are endlessly circulated. Does anyone have additional images or screen captures that may be used for this page?[[User talk:Fire Eater|Fire Eater]] 23:01, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

|
| I agree. there are a few images in the Halo Encyclopedia that could be used.

| == Mother ==
| | When does it say that Chief and Keyes have a sibling-like relationship? the whole "mother of Miranda" thing is absurd, remove it |
|
| |
|
| According to the journal from the limited and legendary editions of Reach Halsey is Miranda's mother. someone who has the information should add it to the article. <span style="font-family: Halo3 ; Font-size: 135%; color:#800002;">FATGUNN</span> 23:39, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

| :: Continueing SubTank disscusion: If Keyes wasn't around when Halsey gave birth to Miranda, then Dr. halsey would have been the one to name her, including her last name.

| Yes it's even mentioned by Halsey in her journal that Cortana looks quite like Miranda. The fact that she mentioned this at all means that Halsey has a genetic relationship with Miranda, otherwise such a comment would make little sense, with Cortana being derived from Halsey's brain. --[[User talk:Darthkillyou|-dky]] 22:26, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

| Just to be clear, when any child is born to an unwed mother, the child takes his or her mother's last name by default, so Miranda would have been born Miranda Halsey. Like Miranda did, the child can obviously get the name changed later, but taking the mother's last name is the norm unless the mother is married (in which case the child automatically takes the father's last name). Also, there are subtle details in Halsey's journal that are far more definitive in demonstrating that Miranda is indeed her daughter than what has been discussed so far - just got to pay more attention to some of the scribbles Halsey writes on the margins of her journal.

| | Rtas 'Vadum was capturing that ship, remember? He must have been successful, rallied some Covenant ships to head to Earth and brought the Arbiter, Johnson, Miranda, and Guilty Spark with him. The ship he captured, is likely, in my opinion to be the Shadow of Intent. Who knows, it's likely that the Arbiter, the Elites and the Humans had to work together to board it afterwards. |

| == Miranda Keyes and Crow's Nest ==
| | [[User:Gruntyking117|Gruntyking117]] 04:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC) |
|
| |
|
| In the opening cutscene of Crow's Nest, we see Miranda Keyes has already been in the base. How long has Keyes been in command of the base or even there? Does anyone know? Assuming she got off of Delta Halo (along with Johnson and Arbiter) shortly after Tartarus' death on Nov. 3, and she got to Earth relatively close to that date, and knowing that we see her in Crow's Nest on Nov. 17, is it safe to say that she was in command of the base for like a week?
| | ==Miranda's Mother== |
|
| |
|
| ==Date of Birth==
| | Has anyone taken a look at the Halo 3 instruction manual yet? Anyone taken a look at the pictures of Cortana and Miranda? Notice a resemblance? If Cortana was created from Dr. Halsey's flash-cloned brain, I think this adds fuel to the speculation fire that Dr. Halsey is Miranda's mother. |
| I understand that the new Essential Visual Guide lists Miranda Keyes date of birth as '''February 28th, 2525''', however Dr. Halsey's journal suggests that the rendezvous which led to her conception took place in '''November 2524'''. If that's the case it's one hell of a short pregnancy (3 1/2 months). I suppose it's possible that her tryst with Keyes took place 6 months before she got around to writing about it, but the language and writing style of the entry seem to imply it was a recent development. Finally, Halsey writes on '''March 9, 2525''' about having to switch to decaf coffee, suggesting she was still pregnant at the time. Any potential explanations for this discrepancy?--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue;font-size:12pt;color:white;">''' Rusty '''</span>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue;font-size:12pt;color:white;">'''- 112 '''</span>]] 11:28, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

| | I would have to agree that Halsey is Miranda's mother. It's quite evident in the novels that feelings are shared between Keyes and Halsey. It just makes sense. |

| :She was confirmed to be a LCDR in the ''Art of Halo 3''; her gold rank insignia and status as the captain of a frigate confirms that. As well, Commander is the short form of LCDR in the same regard as Lieutenant/Colonel and with general/flag officers. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}
| |
|
| |
|
| ::Then why is she wearing Commander Stripes in Halo 3? And why is she wearing a Silver Commander's insignia in Halo 2? Why has she never been referred to as Lieutenant Commander - EVEN IN THE CEREMONY at Halo 2 by Admiral Hood - who would have addressed her by her full rank as it was a formal ceremony? The obvious conclusion is that the "Halo 3" art guys made an error. -- [[User talk:MisterRandom2|MisterRandom2]] 14:44, 13 March 2012 (EDT)
| | I would reckon Johnson's feelings over his death is linked to the Jacob's death. Twice he tasked himself with the protection of a beloved commander and might blame himself for both of their deaths. In Halo CE he might feel guilty that he did not recognize the foreboding signs in the area and allow Keyes to come and become infected. Also Johnson is getting on in his years and would be cradle robbing essentially the daughter of a friend of equal age. |
| ::Also, just because she commanded a frigate doesn't mean she was LCDR. Jacob Keyes was a full Commander when he commanded a destroyer, which isn't much bigger than a frigate. -- [[User talk:MisterRandom2|MisterRandom2]] 14:58, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

| :::Everything shown in Art of Halo 3 are simply concepts, derivatives and cut-contents; not everything in that medium can be taken as solid canon. I believe EVG is the only source that provides her rank during the events of H3 and we should respect it as a source.

| | In the Audio Commentary of the Halo 2 cutscenes on the Legendary Edition of Halo 3, the developers joked that Johnson and Miranda were to have a "thing". Of course when it was suggested in the offices, it was suggested as a joke, just as it was in the commentary. I think it has more to do with the fact that he couldn't protect two famous military leaders/he became a quasi-father figure to Miranda during the war. |

Barring a screw-up by the art department (which is possible), the likely likely explanation that would be given is that her promotion was, in fact, a field promotion which was made permanent after her death... Either that, or the UNSC Navy color scheme is the reverse of the US Navy's... Of course, that would mean a lot of revisions to a lot of pages would be necessary, so it's probably best to assume it's a screw-up by the art dept...[[User talk:DJenser|DJenser]] 15:40, 18 July 2012 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| ::::::This was discussed during the production of the ''Visual Guide''. I'm not sure why her texture model flips between gold and silver leaves (she still has the 3 solid sleeve bars), but the intention is she is a full Commander during the events of Halo 2 and 3. She was promoted to Lieutenant Commander after her heroic actions on the ''Hilbert'' and then sometime between 2550 and 2552 was promoted to full Commander. There have been errors surrounding ranks and insignia before. In Halo 1, Captain Keyes is a Captain in the Navy, yet the double bar pin on his chest is 'Captain' in the Army/Marines, so it's more likely the texture artist did some cursory research but didn't know what was what. Keep in mind too the error in the Miranda promotion ceremony excerpt in 2550 that Jacob is referred to as "Captain" Keyes at that point, yet he was only a full Commander at that time and wasn't promoted to Captain until July 2552. In that case, it's a slip because the character is known as "Captain Keyes" and no one was checking if the date made sense. :) [[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 07:40, 18 June 2013 (EDT)
