I can\'t recall anything about Halsey being a slipspace expert, much less the foremost one. She managed to fix a slipspace engine in \'\'Ghosts\'\', yes, but that was in an emergency, and she points out that she could easily have killed herself. AI Creation? It\'s mentioned, briefly, that she \'\'assisted\'\' in AI development, and had some experience in the area herself, as demonstrated by Jerrod, but again, never said to be the best. Human Augmentation? ONI was able to improve on her S-2 work with the S-3s, so maybe not. Forerunner research? Maybe, but that was because her job at the time of Reach was actively researching them in the area under Sword base. Not that ONI clearly didn\'t have some knowledge themselves. Glasslands itself actually has her surviving \'\'only\'\' because of said Forerunner expertise, in order for it to be used for Infinity.

The only reason the Innies are glossed over is because the Covenant are, objectively, a much greater threat. It\\\'s like worrying about stepping on an ant nest in bare feet while there\\\'s a hungry lion running toward you.

>Bear in mind though, that pre-Traviss Halsey was rather absurdly over-powered, intellectually speaking, bordering on Canon Sue (apparently being the foremost human expert in slipspace theory, powered armour engineering, AI creation, human augmentation and Forerunner research, among other things), generally got her way regardless of circumstances or plausibility and had her adventures in child-abduction and experimentation for the purposes of creating superhuman storm troopers to enforce the will of the central government on Earth conveniently hand-waved by the supposed existential threat posed by colonial seperatists, whose motivations for trying to violently remove themselves from the control of the UEG were barely touched on if at all.
