Meanwhile, on an unknown world, a [[monitor]] flies around a Forerunner city with a moon looming overhead. The monitor speaks to the Didact and solemnly reveals that Blue Team has found the portal. However, the Didact claims that he looks forward to welcoming the Spartans to his world. | Meanwhile, on an unknown world, a [[monitor]] flies around a Forerunner city with a moon looming overhead.

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 the same upgrades due to their priority access to new equipment,<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm3003659_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post3003659 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction'' (post 3003659)]</ref> though it is not specified whether this was after ''Infinity'' made contact with the Master Chief or if John's and Blue Team's upgrades were derived from plans that may have existed before John, Cortana and the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} lost contact with the UNSC. Despite this, the members of Team Black are wearing their original [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Black|MJOLNIR Black]] variant armor which is superficially identical to the original Mark VI. | |||

*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". | *Kelly-087 and Linda-058's respective roles as scout and sniper are reversed in one panel.

*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 of a lighter shade than the distinctive "blood-red" specified in the novels.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 150'' (2001 edition)</ref> | *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.
