| '''ONI Field Report A84110''' was an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] status report on the excavation of the [[Forerunner]] ruins in [[Zone 67]].<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', Chapter 13</ref> In [[2552]], the [[AI]] [[Endless Summer]] included it as an attached file in [[Flash 91762P-06]]. | | '''ONI Field Report A84110'''<ref>[[Halo:Ghosts of Onyx]], page 125</ref> was a status report of [[Zone 67]]'s ruins filed by [[J. G. Ortega]]. It said that there is an increasing amount of evidence of a [[Forerunner|culture]] with superlative knowledge of mathematics and astrogation. No [[human]] or [[AI]] could translate their hieroglyphics, however. It requested extra funding to the excavation process. |
| | | He also requested an expert in exobiology to assist in studying the ruins, which later are revealed to be made by the [[Forerunners]], an enigmatic ancient race that existed thousands of years before humans. |

| :Concerning the alien ruins discovered in Zone 67, we continue to find evidence of an advanced culture with a superlative grasp of mathematics and [[astrogation]], with some possible artistic representations that suggest a space-faring race (see attached digital images of [[Onyx (Material)|onyx]] carvings).
| |
| | |
| :Their numerous hieroglyphics, while at first glance comparable to ancient terrestrial Aztec variants, are, in fact, nothing at all like these primitive [[Earth]] counterparts. Several layers of symbology suggest a higher-dimensional approach to their language, if it can even be truly thought of as writing or language in any human sense.
| |
| | |
| :Translation continues to elude all experts, human and [[Artificial intelligence|AI]].
| |
| | |
| :Recommendation: Increased funding and excavation will undoubtedly yield hitherto unknown technologies.
| |
| | |
| :Additional Note: No further information has been discovered regarding the glowing sphere discovered by [[Beta Company]] trainees. The subsequent detonation of the sphere obliterated all clues of its origin.

| ==Production note==
| |
| The reference in ONI Field Report A84110 to Beta Company trainees in 2511 is erroneous, as the [[SPARTAN-III program]] was not approved until [[2531]] and Beta Company did not begin training until [[2537]].
