Line 5:

* [[All of Them]]:

{{quote| "We've got incoming," Fred's static-filled voice crackled over the COM. "Sentinels."~~<br />~~

{{quote|"We've got incoming," Fred's static-filled voice crackled over the COM. "Sentinels."

"How many?"~~<br />~~

"How many?"

"Sir, all of them." }}

* [[Badass Boast]]: Vice Admiral Whitcomb delivers one (posthumously) through a recording in a NOVA Bomb:

{{quote| "This is the prototype NOVA Bomb, nine fusion warheads encased in lithium triteride armor. When detonated, it compresses its fissionable material to neutron-star density, boosting the thermonuclear yield a hundredfold. I am Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb, temporarily in command of the UNSC military base Reach. To the Covenant uglies that might be listening, you have a few seconds to pray to your damned heathen gods. You all have a nice day in hell..."}}

* [[Dyson Sphere]]: Onyx turns out to house one.

* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]: Onyx isn't really a planet in the traditional sense, but it does disintegrate into billions of Sentinels.

* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]] / [[See You in Hell]]:

{{quote| "One last fight, demon. You will die and we shall reopen the silver path."~~<br />~~

{{quote|"One last fight, demon. You will die and we shall reopen the silver path."

"Die?" Kurt laughed. "Didn't you know?" he told the Elite. "… Spartans never die." }}

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: The first edition of the book was full of glaring typos, such as the Spartans sneaking past Grunt "salves" and trying to escape Covenant "persuaders."
