| ::I have to agree. I think that, while it's possible the term "key" ''might'' refer to something contained within the vast cache of Forerunner artifacts scattered about the galaxy, and it ''might'' be an allusion to the [[Janus Key]], which would thus reveal it's location, it's most likely a metaphor for the knowledge that the UrDact & Librarian possess about the events that led up to the Flood being unleashed upon the Forerunner Ecumene. I don't know... It just seems a bit too obvious that the "keys" in question would be a direct reference to a literal key... - [[User:DJenser|DJenser]] ([[User talk:DJenser|talk]]) 14:25, 15 March 2013 (EDT)

| ==Early Release on Amazon==
| |
| | |
| Hey, I don't know if anyone else knew this, but I got my copy of ''Halo: Silentium'' ahead of time on March 18th from Amazon Prime. Haven't started reading it yet, but I'm going to get to it soon. Nearly halfway through the book I'm reading now. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmissions</font>]]''''']</small> 12:09, 19 March 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

| ==Flood = Precusors?==
| |
| I know this was part of the big debate after Primordium, but it seems to me that the Flood and Precursors are one and the same. Figured I'd open it up for debate again.[[User:Spartansniper450/IRC Quotes|<span style="color:#000000">''Col.''</span>]] [[User:Spartansniper450|<span style="color:#00416A">Snipes</span>]][[User talk:Spartansniper450|<span style="color:gold">4</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Spartansniper450|<span style="color:silver">50</span>]] 17:05, 24 March 2013 (EDT)

| == Prologue specifics ==
| |
| | |
| ''"The Domain then lets the Juridical access it, but only to quickly overwhelm and kill him by the sheer amount of knowledge it forces into him."''
| |
| | |
| How do we know that the Juridical is actually killed? Something of the sort is suggested, but the last we hear of him is that he "can't absorb it all". For all we know anything could've happened - maybe he dies, maybe he just gets knocked unconscious, or maybe he or his ancilla cuts the connection. Hard to say since the incident isn't referenced later on. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 03:17, 16 December 2013 (EST)
