Talk:Unidentified ancilla (Installation 00)

Monitor Is Mendicant Bias?
Based on the fact that this is most likely a monitor, and the fact that a monitor's terminal entry color is based on it's eye color, wouldn't this make sense for this to be a housing of Mendicant Bias? The line "All our makers once held dear" makes sense that it would be Bias, as it was the most advanced ancilla at the time before it went rampant. In addition, on Mendicant Bias's page, it says that one of its housing was "a massive, two-meter wide monitor shell with a single green eye." which fits the symbol in the terminal of this ancilla perfectly.

 * Mendicant can't have been the only ancilla with a green eye. 2401 and 343 both had red eyes at some point. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 18:24, 12 September 2013 (EDT)

For what it's worth, the monitor's eye color has been retconned in Halo: Anniversary Terminals so each monitor seems to have a unique eye color. This was not always the case, nor the original intent. 2401 Penitent Tangent's eye color was actually blue as the model and texture file was that of Guilty Spark's. The difference (which may not have been apparent in the cutscene) is that 2401 PT was actually infected by the Flood. There is a translucent Flood texture overlay on the model and that's what caused the eye color to appear a reddish shade, rather than blue. In fact the overlay is called "Monitor_Infected". Note that the red is nowhere near as vibrant as when Guilty Spark gets mad and shoots with the red eye.
