: Then why the locked door? : 343GS in that scene talks about compartmentalization. He didn't know where or : what the Ark exactly was, and was apparently excluded from any access list : to get into the Cartographer himself, which is why he had to : "hack" (or perhaps blowtorch) his way in. : Perhaps Forerunners are admins, and Reclaimers are super-users. They're : permitted access to the rings in order to fire them if needed, but not to : the Ark and the foundry. I don't know. There's not much to go on in this : area. : Across a loading zone? Never. :) : Thing is, when faced with the need for a loading zone, Halo uses a lot of : various techniques. Locked doors are only one of them. I think they chose : a locked door here because it made sense to use one, and they went to the : trouble to explain that 343 wasn't just opening the door, he was forcing : it-- meaning even he was not supposed to be permitted entry, and once : inside the light bridge area, the Chief's interaction was also required. : Of course, that doesn't mean they can't paint themselves into corners. After : all, why does the Chief's touch activate the bridge, but not the door? Guilty Spark was locked out because Mendicant Bias didn't want him there. "Your intrusion has been logged".
