: There would need to be some method of preventing the Flood from climbing up
: Of course, maybe they just made the tether cable really slippy :) I suspect that there is an artificial gravity dampening field arround the station to simulate Halo gravity in order to prevent personel from being blown off into the void. Once one leaves that safe area, gravity will start pulling and pulling hard, so something like a Banshee would never even hope to be able to escape. Me reasoning for this is that even when the station is going headlong downwards, you're Banshees isn't left in the dust, for that matter there in no change in gravity on board, such as the so called 'zero G' sensation caused by falling. So if any Flood form tried climbing that cable, they'd be pulled into the void, or ripped apart by the prevailing winds. As for a release method, a Phantom-like craft would have a tricky time putting a round onto the exposed parts of the cable that we sliced, so either trying to blast away the armored sheath higher up would be the release mothod, or as you say there is a quick release on the supporting platform up top. There might even be a remote system on station to do just that and a manual switch on the primary winch mechanism, while the 'cutting method' that the Arbiter used was more of a method of last resort for the Forerunners. BTW, all things considered, by cutting the station loose, he did what the Covies claim we do, willing destroy the legacy of the Forerunners. But for him to do it was to destroy a heretic, and it makes us heretics and infidels for doing it. A bit hypocritical you think? Honor and Valor
