I Never Did the Terminals (Destiny)

I never got into the Terminals in Halo because I'm not a fan of having to go outside a game to fill the gaps in a story. Thing is, I still fully "get" Halo and it's awesome story.

I confused about you saying you had to go outside the game. Bungie's terminals were not outside the game.

I also don't understand Jillybean saying she didn't like them because she prefers things to be shown, not told. Any written story is told, not shown. And stories can be quite evocative in that they ask you to imagine the events that are described. I always found Bungie's terminals evocative.
