okay so in all the halo story we've been given you'd think some time in halo 2-3 and maybe the kilo-five story we'd have heard about captain cutter of the sprit of fire and lord hood having a fight about something might have something to do with the trail cutter was in... still halo wars 2 here we come.

We don't even know how far the shield world was away from UNSC space. Besides, the Spirit Of Fire has no slipspace drive. It would take a couple of weeks to leave that system, then a lot longer to get anywhere else. I reckon that the SOF will probably only show up again in about 2580... at the earliest. Unless it has some foreruner tech aboard, and INFINITY finds the other half of the Janus Key.

we have a ship with forerunner tech on it and judging from this " Missing for thirty years, a legendary UNSC warship is discovered deep behind enemy lines. As Infinity plans a rescue mission, however, Admiral Hood’s past with the ship’s captain threatens to jeopardize the mission. The investigation into the UNSC saboteur continues as the journalist infiltrates an Elite holy land in search of answers."

holy land: forerunner space/ shield world area.

its either the sprit or Cole

More likely to be the SOF. Besides, 30 years after it went missing would make it 2561. Three years after Spartan Ops S1.

 

[foxleader]

yeah but makes you wonder when will Cole reappear?

 

[blackout11c]

Well, The Cole Protocol has some AI stating that there was an 89.7% chance Cole survived, and with a UNSC Super heavy cruiser. So who knows if he'll show up again. If he does reappear, imagine the look on his face if he saw the Infinity. RAMMING. A. COVENANT. CRUISER!

 

[foxleader]

that's the impossible life and death of Patterson James Cole. and the AI is SURGON.

I think it would looking something like this...

then into this
