Re: I don't know about that

In Response To: I don't know about that (Hikaru-119) : No, remember that little piece of red text that was on one of the Halos at : the end? Looks to me like it has been taken out of commision. Also : remember that 343 Guilty Spark said "Collectively the 7-*gets cut off : by Tartarus" : Sounds like there are only 7 rings to begin with. I have another observation. : In the level "Sacred Icon" notice the fairy sentinels floating : around in the beginning. Well I stopped to watch them do their work. It : seems to me that the Halo rings can repair themselves. : Meaning if we give it enough time, even Installation 04 can come back. It's : not that far fetched considering what we know about the Forerunners (large : rings of destruction, super smart AI, crystals that munipulate the fabric : of space-time, etc). I agree with the above paragraphs. However, given how big the Halos are, it could take millenia for something like Halo 04 to fix itself, and that's assuming that it is fully capable of such a feat. For one, it would require all the original materials, of which a decent amount likely fell into atmosphere on Threshold. : As for the Halos moving. I doubt it. Here's why. On Sigma Octanus IV there : were coordinates for Halo 04. Why would coordinates be needed if the thing : moves around? Wouldn't that be kinda pointless. You would put a rock : somewhere, someone finds it, discovers that it is a map, flies out there, : and nothing because the bloody thing moved. Like Jillybean said, it's possible that the rock was capable of keeping up with the location of the installation. Or, perhaps, the rock was just a map to the last known location of the Halo. Either you find it there, or you find something there that tells you where it went. : Now I just looked back at the beacon that 343 GS was talking about. It seems : to me that the Halos are different sizes. And generally with most cases : bigger gun = bigger explosion. That's not always the case, but I do : believe that the Halos probably have larger/ smaller blast radi in order : to make up for the smaller ones in case they fail. : Besides 343 did say "This galaxy will be quite devoid of life." : Sounds to me like that the ENTIRE galaxy will be wiped out of all life, : not just a significantly populated area. After all as long as there is : food for the Flood, they live. What I was saying is that certain parts of the galaxy may simply not contain planets capable of supporting sentient life even with significant terraforming. Thus, it would be a waste of time to put anything around them. Of course, this would also mean that the Halos would somehow need be positioned so that no spaceship could leave the galaxy without flying through the blast radius, and the killing effect would need to last for years in order to clean up any stragglers that happened to be on a ship in the unaffected regions. Perhaps the pulse is more powerful in Slipspace?
