* HarsherInHindsight: Shepard at one point claims that he's going to make sure that they carry helmet cams when they go back to their universe so that they can prove the Reapers exist. The problem is, that this story is implied to have happened after all major events of ''Mass Effect 2'' (including DLC) have happened, which means that the next time Shepard is supposed to take the field is in six months... when the Reapers launch their full-scale invasion of the galaxy.

Or more specifically, after Shepard turns himself in for the destruction of the Bahak relay, the next time Shepard puts his hand on a gun is when Reapers are ''literally'' attacking Earth.

* GrowingTheBeard: The first few chapters are of... questionable quality, including showing the ''Normandy'' crew curb-stomping Covenant soldiers and even taking out Covenant Starships with little trouble, something the author admits to. Thankfully, the story gets better around the time that the first mission of Halo: Reach occurs.
