I was thinking something else. In Halo: The Fall of Reach, in the very back of the book when Jacob is saying that his men don't know what's going on down there, and if I knew that I was one trip away from seeing Miranda again, etc. I was under the impression that Keyes knew about what was going on at Reach already, and that everybody else '''didn't''' know what was happening. So I guess most of the higher-ups knew about the invasion when it began. But they just tried to keep it on the down-low for some reason (maybe morality reasons, HighCom wanted to keep the situation as under-control as possible before blowing the horn. But that's still a really crappy reason). So the whole surprise wasn't that the Covenant were on Reach. The surprise was, "OMG, 700 fucking Covenant ships just jumped from Slipspace." After the Long Night of Solace was destroyed. But then that brings up something annoying. 1st of all. If HighCom didn't keep it on the down-low, it was possible that the UNSC may have had more time to prepare against the main assault. Also, if we say that the 700 ships was the "main attack" at the Fall of Reach, then should we update the article to put everything before that as events leading up to the Fall of Reach?

:: Isn't it possible that the crystal allowed for the time difference seen in tFoR and Halo: Reach? To me, that seems likely, much more so than the current canon stiching done in the artcile. | |||
Also, the location of the PoA in Reach is not an issue, there's a timeframe when john is in cyro where it could have landed.http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/9315/signxb.jpg 11:16, 26 June 2012 (EDT) | |||
