This is from 1999, but it's intriguing:

Here's the interesting part:

"In the future, slowing light could have a number of practical consequences, including the potential to send data, sound, and pictures in less space and with less power. Also, the results obtained by Hau's experiment might be used to create new types of laser projection systems and night vision cameras with power requirements a million times less than what is presently possible."

Could this help with finding out how the Halos communicate or even how humans communicate in the Haloverse? Also, what about this... countdown transmission thing, could it have done this to send the transmission?
