I think this quote fits in with the summary. But though it can be either of them but I guess we'll find out soon. The Spirit of Fire was declared lost with all hands in 2531 while post- Halo 4 events are in 2558. Yes, now that you bring up Admiral Preston Cole, it could be a valid point, but he was presumed dead in 2543. I think 343 could bring back the Spirit of Fire or they could just introduce a new vessel and throw us for a loop. Although not proven a fact yet, it was possible that he lived through his battle at Psi Serpentis by making a random slipspace jump. There is only one other ship with a legendary captain that has been missing for a shorter time than the Spirit of Fire and that's the Everest captain by Admiral Cole.

Bringing the Spirit of Fire back would be something a lot of fans would like to see especially because we still have 3 Spartans left on that vessel, but it's going to take some twisting around to do. I'm thinking they must've stumbled behind enemy lines decades ago. Sources: ((WARNING SPOILERS IF YOU HADN'T READ ANY OF ESCALATION)) I think that instead of the SoF returning in the Comic, it MAY return in future Halo Titles. This also fits due to the quote that Serina says in the ending of Halo Wars if completed on Legendary which was: Captain, wake up. Though this isn't officially confirmed, I can for sure say that in my opinion, it has to be them. I haven't heard of any other human vessel in the franchise other than the SoF being lost for that long. The only thing I thought about that was valid in the Halo Universe about a return of a Legendary UNSC Warship behind enemy lines for 30 years would have to be the Spirit of Fire.

The investigation into the UNSC saboteur continues as the journalist infiltrates an Elite holy l and in search of answers. As Infinity plans a rescue mission, however, Admiral Hood’s past with the ship’s captain threatens to jeopardize the mission. Missing for thirty years, a legendary UNSC warship is discovered deep behind enemy lines. "Side Note: This contains spoilers for those who haven't read the series yet" Issue 5's summary caught my eye as I read: I know Issue #3 hasn't released yet, but the future summaries for 3-5 have been shown online. Hello Everyone! Today I decided to post a topic on an interesting subject that I saw while reading the plot summaries of the current going Halo: Escalation Comic Series.
