Re: perhaps we are looking for the wrong things

Why would the Flood do that? It makes no sense. If they had the ability to take over a ring, they would try to get off of it. Trying to hold the Forerunners hostage using their ring would come to no end. What would they do, give them a ship and doom the entire race? They'd let the Flood fire the in...

Re: Calling IRIS an ARG wrong?

Considering that some of the primary aspects of an ARG are that the line between fiction and fact is blurred so much that you can't tell the difference... that you're having to go out of your way to solve critical aspects of the plot line... that your actions can potentially alter the final outcome...

Re: perhaps we are looking for the wrong things

Why not? If one Halo is fired, they all are tripped. Otherwise, it would make no sense being able to activate the Halos from their individual control rooms. They would clear out there coverage zone, but just that. It's like giving the shortstop a proper glove, and the rest of the infield foam finge...

Re: 3 of 5 Symbols

Ok, I animated the glpyhs this time in hopes of finding something... I hope I am just missing that something... Anyone see anything? I think that center line coming off the center circle (before it resets) is key. Maybe it shows the sequence of a firing, with each of the hashes representing a check...

Re: Server Video Discussion

343 GUILTY SPARK: This mining facility predates Installation Alpha by several hundred years. It was retrofitted to research possible offensive and defensive measures against the Flood. Indeed, I designed and oversaw the construction of this facility's various outbreak management systems. Halo Story...

There's all the glyphs I can make out on the 3D server thing plus AR's glyph. There's a pattern here.

Maybe the small circles around the edge are the Halos, and the center dot is the Ark, or the center of the galaxy?

Like a map.

Re: perhaps we are looking for the wrong things

If AR's resposibility was the array requirements, AND the array requirements were in flux, would one assume that AR was attempting to change the array requirements. meaning sabotage, save, influence, etc, the firing of the halo's in the future? What were his intentions for changing the array requir...

No, they are actually quite different in more ways than that.
