User talk:Document/Unanswered questions in Halo

The Main Series

 * You cannot disagree with 343 Guilty Spark. The monitor knows well his rings' capabilities and what he says is true. So yes, the explosion would destroy the Ark 100%.
 * Most probably, after the destruction of the Ark, the other Installations would have gone out of control, moving around in space, or even "eaten" by the gas giants they orbit.
 * The Legendary Planet must be near the Ark as the rear part of the Dawn didn't go through the slipspace jump and therefore stayed around the Ark's vincinity. The other two questions are mostly polls rather than knowledge.

Curiosities

 * Both are safe to say, Monitors prefer singular, Covenant prefer plural.
 * A reclaimer is the Forerunner who will find and ignite the Index in case of another Flood outbreak. This term was used only AFTER the first activation, that's why its called reclaimer.
 * Chiron most probably exists, Derelict would mess up canon if it did. Nevertheless, I don't think that multiplayer levels have anything to do with the storyline.
 * Neither Halsey nor Gettysburg is referred to in the Halo Graphic Novel.
 * Humans have an extremely low tech Tier and therefore are unable to explain...
 * The author's desire to create some difference in the plot. A Spartan retiring makes no sense.
 * Just a deleted race.
 * What do you mean "so far"? The Dreadnought made course to Earth, which means the Portal!
 * I think he is just hot headed XD He didn't expect the Chief to be actually able to find Cortana, thats why.
 * Yeah, what's the big deal? Of course there were already several Covenant on outposts, homeworlds, maybe other installations...
 * Well, the Halo network was firstly discovered when the FuD reached installation 05, and the Halo as a ring was discovered months earlier, when the PoA found out about the installation 04. The Flood were firstly discovered when the dudes on the SoF were on the shield world, and officially discovered when Binseti, Mendoza, Riley, Kappus and all these guys tried to look for a weapons cache.
 * The Kig-Yar will most probably change sides or leave the Covenant, as they are pure mercenaries and without payment, they do nothing. And where will they find payment from the Covenant now? XD
 * Bah, I don't think so. There will be no sequels to Halo 3, so it's just for.... philathropy reasons, you know, to make people have some hope about the Chief's future.
 * Some kind of flood Spore was created a long time ago on anther galaxy and after many travels and adventures they found themselves on Milky Way, where they were exterminated and contaminated by the Forerunners. There are many ways for life to begin, like panspermia. Look it up on wikipedia. -- —The preceding unsigned comment was made by JEA13 (talk • contribs)02:58, 27 July 2009.

Major threads: The main series

 * You can when all life in the universe is potentially at stake. "Destroyed" can have shades of meaning well short of "down to the atom". I'll grant that it's presumed permanent for now, but I'm not sure I trust the writers not to go back there eventually when they need a new threat. And there's still the Flood spores to justify the expedition either way.
 * Orbits do not work that way.
 * That would make the most sense, but it still bugs me that the planet isn't shown or mentioned before the Dawn gets split, and the Ark's remains aren't shown or mentioned after. And we don't know how much time actually passes between "Wake me when you need me" and the final scene. Basically an official answer would be nice. As for the other two questions, no idea what you mean.

Curiosities

 * Actually, on further reading I'm not sure plural Forerunner is canon at all; Cortana uses the S on Two Betrayals, unlike what I remembered, and Guilty Spark uses it on The Great Journey. I'm removing the question for now.
 * Source?
 * Mess up canon how? And I don't have a source, but I'm pretty sure Bungie has said otherwise, at least for Halo 2 and on.
 * Page 122: "The query is from the Gettysburg and it's got charlie hotel 4695's thumbs all over it.".
 * Probably, but on the other hand it's not like they're under a time limit.
 * I meant why did the Precursors or Forerunners build it; and that's defeatist talk.
 * Not deleted; the mention in Conversations makes it canon.
 * Not according to the timeline I linked. It's probably best left alone if H3O doesn't cover it, but it still bugs me slightly.
 * On further thought, that does make sense; replacing the question.
 * Source? The big deal is whether or not H3 marks the real end of the war.
 * Assumption. I'm pretty sure there are at least theories to the contrary, and CH doesn't help matters with Brutes, Drones, Engineers and Monitors all being known of in 2525.
 * Still, like the Ark they *could* get brought out by 343 when they need a new threat. I'm just noting it as a potential future plot.
 * On further thought, that also makes sense. I have the planet covered further up anyway, so deleting.
 * Just did, but I don't see the connection to your answer. Also, source?

Thanks for reading regardless, and to be fair, I used User: in the first place so I wouldn't have to justify what I put in. --Andrew Nagy 02:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
