Radiation also takes time to spread, but is very long-lasting. The cities of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Pripyat (the city that suffered from the disaster of Chernobyl) are all still full of radiation to this day. Also, I think the Covenant really only glassed parts of the planet that contained human life.

> > No, in fact, radiation is no threat at all in Lone Wolf. I said they swore to kill every human life in Reach. And I mean leave no life behind in the planet. This doesn’t necessaily mean that everyone that stepped on the planet has to die, no. Everyone can escape if possible, but the Covenant simply wanted to wipe human life out of the planet.

> > > > my reasoning behind the covenant being at the saber launch site is that they were searching for relics, much like the zealots in winter contigency and the seraph is because seraphs were the main assault force on the station in “long night of solace” so after taking the station they may have had the seraphs holding the station. also I would have used Sabers in my idea but they aren’t capable of slip space.

> * first off, conversations like this are what make me come back to the forums, The knowledge, the communication, its all great, thank you for helping me learn about my favorite series so much.

> * second: the ship breaking yard wouldn’t be high on the covenants glassing list because, A: it contained technology that they could later study to help them get the upper hand, B: it isn’t a massive population center or major military base like sword base or New Alexandria, C: the only reason they sent a cruiser there, the pillar of autumn, is now gone and they sent a chunk of their ships, not a major chunk but a few ships in the area, after it and the ships that remained were elsewhere and D: (wow that looks like a shocked face…) its pretty much a dry abandoned wasteland as it is, why glass a deserted wasteland? even if it is to kill a spartan, seems like a major waste of resources…
>
> third: there’s a grenade launcher in lone wolf, as well as the hundreds of plasma pistols lying around, six could just grab one, take down a banshee, hijack (or skyjack) it and be on his marry way to the saber launch site with added protection from the radiation bombardment, which for the most part, would be close to the ground (since the ship which is the source of radiation is on the ground),
>
> *forth: I’d wager that there’s atleast one seraph, maybe even a phantom on board that crashed ship that noble 6 could steal, (I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before, corvettes have seraphs on them, maybe there’s a functioning one of the cruiser…)
>
> *fifth: im sure that if I could clear out a corvette on legendary, alone, then N6 would be able to clear one out again, maybe even a cruiser, he could find one, board it, take it over (somehow) and once again be off of reach with a slipspace capable ship.
>
> I hope that this proves that it is possible for some “1% scenario” for 6 to survive, and if 343 is reading this? make it happen, Johnson survived the pillar out autumns detonation (I know that there’s some special piece of lure that allows Johnson to survive through the all mighty power of space magic, but the only halo book I’ve read so far is contact harvest), im sure that 6 could have gotten off reach.
1: We’re 2 then 
2: A: The Covenant’s technology is way more advanced than the Humans, being at like Tier 2, all mainly because of the Elites. Excluding the Ancient Humans, Forerunners and Precursors, they we’re the first specie to develop slip-space technology, near invisibility, plasma-based weaponry, weapons that can react to their target (like the Needler), etc. Halo: Fall of Reach animated series Spoilers…
They’re also smart enough to develop a shield so strong that it can withstand a nuclear warhead, and have no scratches at all.You can also see how the UNSC Savannah was easily destroyed by the Corvette in Long Night of Solace.
B\C: Yes, it might be deserted, but remember that there was a Halcyon-class cruiser docked there, and many UNSC Marines. In my opinion, if I we’re a Sangheili, I would glass that area, to quickly dispatch of the humans, with extreme ease.
D: Explained
3: Yes, many weapons we’re scattered throughout the battlefield, however, there we’re way too many enemies. Even if Six could kill those Elites in the ending cutscene for Lone Wolf, more would appear, and kill him. Six was also too tired to even stand on his feet (noticeable after “dying” in Lone Wolf), so skyjacking a Banshee would be near impossible.
4: Explained in 3.
5: The cannon difficulty is Heroic. You do know that a CCS-class cruiser is way bigger than a SDV-class Corvette, right? Six was able to clear out the Corvette’s crew during Operation: Upper Cut, because he had back-up, and could prepare himself for the next engagement. Taking a Corvette by himself is way harder. Also, how would he even be able to board one?
That “1%” scenario might be right. Also, please don’t beg for 343 to read it, please.
SPOILER ALERT FOR JOHNSON’S SURVIVAL ON ALPHA HALO
The cutscene that plays when you complete the Maw on Legendary is non-cannon, it’s just an easter-egg. He actually escaped the ring in a Pelican with other marines. Didn’t read the books, had to search on the Internet. (Can’t find Halo novels here on portugal because everyone here is PS fanboy lmao).
