Valhalla? *SP*
Posted By: GatchamanUK <gatchamanuk@yahoo.com>	Date: 4/4/08 3:50 p.m.
In Response To: A brief history of blue beams (Jillybean) : That's a very good point. I've been doing a bit of research on the HSP (only : a little because my internet is being very grumpy today). They were first : brought up here . They were expanded upon as either a source of power : or a method of communication between the rings. Other theories have : included Atmosphere Control , Venting energy (and again and : transferring energy ), Tide Control , Stabilisation , : ... : But it's not till Halo 2 starts to come out that the idea is first bandied : about that the blue beams are some sort of pulse generator . This leads : on to them being a failsafe which I really like. It almost ties in : with the observations at the end of Halo 2 (seems so long ago now!) : This was the first time they were connected to simulation firings. : Now, as far as I can tell (and I beg one of my fellows to help me here if : they can see something I can't) there's been nothing official about the : blue beams. Everything we know is fanon. IIRC there are blue beam towers on Valhalla, which is on the Ark, What would the Ark need them for? Maybe it uses the same sort of technology to send the signal which sets off the rings as the rings do to 'kill all sentient life'? Which is why Installation 05 puts the others into 'standby' mode when it almost fires during Halo 2, it sends a signal instead.
