Re: A Brief History of Halo: Mantle

In Response To: Re: A Brief History of Halo: Mantle (telemachus)


: Excellent synopsis of the forerunner story so far. I hope you are inviting of
: corrections because I just happened to reread this passage today. And the
: explanation on halopedia is incorrect.

: The Captive was always on Charum Hakkor, buried in a stasis capsule. The
: humans found it while excavatingt. Their efforts to free the creature were
: unsuccessful, so they devised a method of communicating with it. After
: succeeding, what it told them so awful that they ceased communicating with
: it, and placed a San'Shyuum Time Bolt on top of the already timeless
: precursor stasis capsule and then placed the entire assembly within an
: arena on Charum Hakkor for all to see.

: According to Cryptum, the pattern of events doesn't get revised in
: Primordium, or does it? I don't

This sounds right. Also, I thought there were only the original 12 halos, 5 of which were destroyed in the battle at the Forerunner capitol (leaving us with 7). Is this incorrect? I did find Greg Bear's plot development difficult to follow at times...
