:Maybe it was around 100-200 years after the array fired. Seems to fit the narative a lil better. -[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 12:15, 4 October 2016 (EDT)

::Probably something like that. I just wonder which wording we should use in our articles. "Centuries" is used more often in the story, but "over a century" sounds more definite and specific while still allowing for the possibility that more than one century had passed (though the implication is closer to "less than 150 years"). --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 02:31, 5 October 2016 (EDT)

== Promises to Keep oddity ==
 
Unless I've critically misinterpreted something, ''Promises to Keep'' indicated that the Forerunners "reseeded" each species on the Ark sequentially before sending them back to their homeworlds, and didn't actually have more than one species "awake" on the Ark at a time. The implication in prior fiction, particularly ''Rebirth'', has been that the species (the intact specimens anyway) all lived there simultaneously. To me the idea of reintroducing them to the Ark one by one seems kind of redundant - if you're going to keep the species in dormancy for decades anyway, why go through the trouble of awakening them on the Ark in the first place, instead of taking them to their homeworld first? --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 01:19, 10 October 2016 (EDT)
