:It was about time. What we see looks promising enough.

So I guess we can't start adding pages to Halopedia with info from the excerpt or does that break the spoiler laws? ~~ The Name is Gall.

Some extra thoughts. The writing is more descriptive than the Kilo-Five Trilogy but it also feels like it's on fast-forward most of the time. Within the span of the first chapter we've been to how many planets already? I also had some difficulty visualizing just how this shield world is supposed to work—from the description I got the sense it's structured like Requiem but the exterior shell is apparently ''very'' thin. The distance between the inner planetoid's surface and the inner "ceiling" also seems tiny, as the characters, while on a platform in the ceiling, can easily make out details on the terrestrial planetoid surface, smell its air, and descend there in a reasonable timespan. And then there this: ''"Below the craggy remnants of some ancient planetoid, it bristled with plant life, gleamed with streams and waterfalls."'' Where does the planetoid remnant fit in? | |||
As an aside, "[[Enduring Bias]]" isn't a terribly original name for a monitor—given the "Bias" part I wonder if it's supposed to be a Contender class, but if so, why would one be left in charge of a random shield world? --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 03:01, 27 October 2014 (EDT) | |||
