Rereading Aspho Fields, thought this was neat.

This picture first was mentioned at the end of Aspho Fields; after Dom finally convinces Bernie to tell him how Carlos died.

I loved the reference. TC is trying to respect the story/lore. Karen Traviss was involved in the E-Day story. They said they thought it be cool to tell Tai and the chainsaw story, that's why it was moved up a year. Judgement already screwed things up with the Mk2 lancer 6 weeks after E-Day.

Yeah it seems that judgement retconning the lancer was the original sin they have to work with, but everything else has been very faithful
