In Response To: Re: Delta Halo (Schedonnardus)

: I'm sure they knew there were seven rings, as evidenced on the mural, but
: they did not know where these rings were.

: When you first saw Halo, were you blinded by its majesty?

: This statement is asked during the Arbiter's trial, it seems as though none
: of the prophets had seen a Halo before and wanted to know what his first
: reaction was.

: Putting aside our sorrow, we renewed our faith in the prophecy that other
: rings would be found, and see how our faith has been rewarded.

: If they already knew where other rings were, they wouldn't need to capture
: 343 from the heretics. They wouldn't have had to apply "appropriate
: humility" to know that they needed the index had they been to another
: Halo. If they had already been to 3 other Halos previously, then what is
: so special about finding Delta Halo?

If you read my posts carefully, I make a distinction between mapping a Halo and visiting one. I'm saying, from the murals, they knew the approximate locations of the ring worlds, but until Earth year 2552, they hadn't visited one (for whatever reason). Maybe the rock found on Octanus, guarded by Hunters, was their key to one of the ring's precise location. (Perhaps an artifact under New Mombasa revealed Delta Halo's location?) Knowing a gigantic ring world left by your gods exists is one thing. The Prophet was asking if actually seeing the ring dumbfounded the Arbiter to the point it made his judgement or abilities lapse and allowed the humans to do what they did. They're accusing the Arbiter as being "paralysed" by the ring's beauty and thereby let the humans onto the ring, to ultimately destroy it (before even one of the Heirarchs had seen it) although at least one Prophet was present at Halo 04.
