Re: Two questions....
Posted By: Wado SGDate: 9/25/06 5:47 p.m.

In Response To: Two questions.... (yakaman)

: 1. What is the significance of Cortana's statement ("Analyzing. Halo's
: control center is located there. That structure appears to be some sort of
: temple or shrine, if I've interpreted this correctly. (Pause) Interesting.
: A shrine is an unlikely place to put such a significant
: installation...") in regards to the image?

I think Cortana is referring to the actual building that contains the "mural" as a temple. I believe this building pre-dates the age of Halo (Installation 04). The building and the mural in it were brought to Halo or replicated from some older civilization.

The significance is that the building is a place of worship. This is a very strange place to have the controls for Halo.

It almost seems to me that the building was there maybe not for the Forerunner themselves but for the Reclaimers to recognize.

: 2. Is it possible that the mural is simply explaining the purpose of the
: installtion, to contain and study the flood? For example: Top:
: "Eye", representing Forerunner observation

: Middle: "Eye", representing Gravemind (Flood intelligence)

: Bottom: Flood infection form.

Maybe. That's some good thinking.

: It seems way too similar to the image to be a coincidence. Nice.
