===Reference===

*This level's name may be a reference to the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' episode of the same name, in which the "Package" was Dr. Halsey herself. ~~While in~~ ''Halo: Reach'', the ~~package~~ is a fragment of the ~~A.I.~~ [[Cortana]].

*This level's name may be a reference to the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' episode of the same name, in which the "Package" was Dr. Halsey herself. In ''Halo: Reach'', the Package is a fragment of the AI [[Cortana]].

*The name of the final chapter, "This Cave is Not a Natural Formation..." is a reference to a line spoken by Cortana in the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]], when [[John-117|the Master Chief]] drives a Warthog into a Forerunner tunnel. The line was widely ridiculed by fans because of the obviousness of Cortana's statement, and Bungie added the reference as a humorous reminder of this.<ref>'''''[[Halo: Reach]]''''' Legendary Commentary</ref>

 *The name of the final chapter, "This Cave is Not a Natural Formation..." is a reference to a line spoken by Cortana in the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]], when [[John-117|the Master Chief]] drives a Warthog into a Forerunner tunnel. The line was widely ridiculed by fans because of the obviousness of Cortana's statement, and Bungie added the reference as a humorous reminder of this.<ref>'''''[[Halo: Reach]]''''' Legendary Commentary</ref>
