* HeKnowsTooMuch: Lt. Haverson executes a Covenant Engineer minutes after it finished fixing the Master Chief's damaged Mjolnir armor. He doesn't like it, but points out that they can't risk the Engineer falling back into Covenant hands, and sharing the technical details of the Spartan's shield generator technology.

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Dr. Halsey gives the Master Chief a lesson in morality versus expediency by allowing him to decide the fate of Sergeant Johnson after his escape from the Flood on Halo, providing John with two datachips after she runs medical tests on him:
** Lawful: Surrender her full findings to UNSC Highcom, including Johnson's identity, medical history, and her theories regarding the Sergeant's Boren's Syndrome causing immunity to the Flood infection. Most likely, ONI will choose to [[PlayingWithSyringes medically investigate Johnson, up to and including dissecting him]]. While horrific, [[TheNeedsOfTheMany this would have the best chance of leading to a vaccine or cure for the Flood]].
** Good: A redacted report covering up Johnson's identity. Dr. Halsey doubts it will be as much use to the UNSC, but Johnson will be able to return to duty and continue fighting the Covenent.
*** While a bit of a ForegoneConclusion, the Chief ultimately decides on [[spoiler: the Good option, which will become a KarmicJackpot by the end of Halo 3.]]

* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: Master Chief and co. crash landed into the ''Ascendant Justice''[='s=] hanger bay at 300 meters per second, or 671.1 miles per hour, and then get right back up. Sure, Master Chief has his armor, and the ship may be made of some kind of future metal that doesn't disintegrate upon crashing at Mach 0.9, but, c'mon, Sergeant Johnson wasn't even wearing a seat belt. (On the other hand, it's ''Sergeant Johnson''; the man is legitimately badass.)

** Following the lead of ''Literature/HaloTheFallOfReach'', the Spartan-II's are all depicted as wearing identical MJOLNIR armor, and this fact is brought up as a facet of Halsey's character, as she demonstrates her ability to identify specific Spartans by subtle body language. The series would later depict MJOLNIR as ''extremely'' customisable both in-game and in-story, including in some stories set prior to ''The Fall of Reach'' and ''First Strike''.

To further clarify; if you're using Halopedia as your source; they still haven't quite properly updated the slipspace flake pages in light of Renegades's revelations.

Natter. Also, Renegades explicitly mentions that warping time is something that an uncontained slipspace flake can do.

*** This still doesn't explain some of its effects though such as warping time, (Chief escaped Halo on September 22. The book takes place after that happened and ends on September 13 meaning he and the others on the ship they were travelling on effectively time-traveled to a point in time prior to the events of Halo: Combat Evolved). Also it doesn't explain shards of this flake can open a portal from the Ark to Reach using the power of a Banished ship engine when it took a massive slipspace portal construct on Earth, no doubt tapping into vastly greater amounts of energy to open and sustain a portal from Earth to the Ark. Atriox arrives much quicker to Reach from the Ark too as does the Keepers when they use the same portal Atriox used to get to Reach to go to the Ark when it took much longer for the fleet in Halo 3 to get to Ark from Earth using the Earth portal.
