This official statement made by Bungie was about a Spartan458 "Nicole" in the Do A 4 game for the Xbox 360

was the basic premise how I went about creating my sto ry, just in the reverse order. "History: Dead or Alive 4 Nicole was born in the year 2531 in the city of New Legaspi on Mars. At six year s of age, she was abducted by agents of the Office of Naval Intelligence and con scripted into the Spartan II program. The Spartan II program was the UNSC's high ly successful military project to augment and hone perfect soldiers. SPARTAN-458's unit was preparing for a classified mission on Nassau Station when the ONI stealth ship Apocalypso tumbled into real-space being carried along in the wake of a freak slipspace anomaly. The anomaly intersected Nassau Station; c reating a semi-stable "bubble" in the space/time continuum on its way back to th e 21st Century. For the time being, Nicole is trapped in the 21st century; guarding Nassau Stati on's secrets with all but lethal force (she realizes killing someone in the past could have dire consequences), waiting for the "bubble" to collapse and hopeful ly returning her to the year 2552." And now you may be thinking that the two FTL drives are not related in any real way, but based on the above statement and other lines of evidence such as: Situation 1. LEVEL 08: "Delta Halo" CHAPTER 01: "Delta Halo" CINEMATIC Scene opens with a huge white and purple explosion in space. A Covenant cruiser, a number of buildings from New Mombasa, and finally the In Amber Clad pour out of the explosion. Scene cuts to In Amber Clad's bridge. Commander Keyes almost f alls off her chair due to sudden deceleration. This incident is much like the space fold incident involving the SDF-1. Situation 2. LEVEL 05: "Metropolis" CHAPTER 03: "Field Expedient" CINEMATIC COMMANDER KEYES: Sir, the Prophet is bugging out! Request permission to engage! LORD HOOD: Negative, Commander. I'll vector two heavies for starside intercept. The Covenant ship begins to accelerate. NAV OFFICER: Ma'am, Slipspace rupture off the target's bow! It's going to jump, inside the ci ty!-Level 5 Chapter 03 Field Expedient. A Gigantic Alien space ship broke through the very fabric of hyperspace . -Narrator, Robotech; Episode one: Booby trap A rupture is a break or in past tense broke in something? These systems unknowin gly or not are in many ways one in the same. The only deference is the speed tha t it takes to reach a location. Also this counts as a Irony article.
