==Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary Terminals==
Recorded by humanity as the '''"Alpha Halo Terminals"''',{{Ref/Site|Id=HaloBulletin11112|URL=https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/11/01/The-Halo-Bulletin-11112-.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 11.1.12|Detail=This was tied to a puzzle that lead to a [[:File:Second_Transmission.jpg|Section 3 Transmission]]|D=4|M=1|Y=2012}} these were a series of video transmissions paired with Forerunner code sequences recovered by [[John-117]] during the [[Battle of Installation 04]] in [[2552]].{{Ref/Site|Id=ForumsDecoding|URL=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst151938p15_--CLASSIFIED--SECTION-3-DECODING-CENTER.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Forums - //CLASSIFIED//SECTION 3 DECODING CENTER//|D=14|M=10|Y=2014}}{{Ref/Site|Id=ForumsHydrAI|URL=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst135464_CLASSIFIED---HYDRAI-THREAD---GLYPH-CODES.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Forums - CLASSIFIED - HYDRAI THREAD - GLYPH CODES|D=13|M=10|Y=2014}}

Following analysis of the video transmissions, ONI researchers uncovered how to unlock highly encrypted data using the Forerunner code sequences in them, leading to additional intel and resources that improved the Spartan program and equipment.{{Ref/Reuse|ForumsDecoding}}

==Halo 3==
Recorded by humanity as the '''"terminal dialogs"''',{{Ref/Novel|Id=HPC33|Pri|Chapter=33}} these were a series of text terminals recovered by [[John-117]] during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in [[2552]]. These terminals had John-117 and [[Mendicant Bias]] communicate with each other during the events of the battle.{{Ref/Book|Id=H4EVGTerminals|H4EVG|Section=Equipment|Page=129 (Terminal)}} ONI would eventually get a copy of these dialogs.{{Ref/Reuse|HPC33}}

Around [[2554]], onboard the {{UNSCShip|Rubicon}}, during ONI's interrogation of [[343 Guilty Spark]], the UNSC Rubicon's science team references the terminals as a source for their prior information on the Forerunners; they note that the terminals' records are on some points incompatible with Guilty Spark's account.{{Ref/Reuse|HPC33}} These differences were caused by the [[Rampancy|unstable]] Mendicant Bias manipulating the terminals to some extent when presenting them to John-117, filtering and editing the information in a way which best suited its own purposes.{{Ref/Site|Id=sparkast 17|URL=http://waypointassets.blob.core.windows.net/mobilecontent/legacysupport/content/assets/en-us/podcast/343Sparkast_017.mp3|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=343 Sparkast 017|D=13|M=07|Y=2014|LocalArchive=343 Sparkast}}

==Halo 4==
===Terminals===
Recorded by humanity as the '''"Domain Data Archives"''',{{Ref/Site|Id=HaloBulletin11112|URL=https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/11/01/The-Halo-Bulletin-11112-.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 11.1.12|Detail=This was tied to a puzzle that lead to a [[:File:Second_Transmission.jpg|Section 3 Transmission]]|D=4|M=1|Y=2012}} these were video transmissions recorded by [[Cortana]] from [[Z-9930 Information Vector Console]]s on [[Requiem]], rubble from [[Installation 03]], and the [[Mantle's Approach]].{{Ref/Book|Id=H4EVGTerminal|H4EVG|Section=Equipment|Page=129 (Terminal)}} When [[John-117]] and Cortana found the terminals, Cortana wasn't able to view the whole thing, only able to extract bits and pieces of the complete exchange, logging it for investigation later.{{Ref/Level|Id=Requiem|H4|H4:Requiem|Requiem|Quote=This node is caught in a loop trying to access something it's calling "the Domain", an offworld data repository of some kind, though I'm only able to extract bits and pieces of the complete exchange...

===Audio stuff===
Not confirmed. But one makes sense.

==Halo 3 ODST Audio Logs==
The audio logs were recovered by [[Jonathan Doherty]] during the [[Battle of New Mombasa]] in [[2552]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/catalog-interaction/4c3e1c6f-6519-4ee0-83a4-4bac13bf07a3/posts?page=48|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=Catalog Interaction|D=13|M=04|Y=2016|LocalArchive=Catalog/Archive/2014#Post_.2312}}

==Halo Reach==
===Data Pads===
The data pads were recovered by [[SPARTAN-B312]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]]. The reliability of the information in them were contested.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/questions-about-reach-datapads-and-flood/f10052fc-996a-46ab-821a-80480becd629/posts|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=Questions about Reach datapads and flood.|D=27|M=11|Y=2020|LocalArchive=Catalog/Archive/2014#Questions about Reach datapads and Flood}} The datapads were left by a [[The Executor|human individual]] who was shown...... (this part is messy) (Cite Precipice)

===Reach radios===
A lot of the radios were tied to recordings [[Benjamin Giraud]] recovered and showed as part of his journalistic series titled "[[Ghosts & Glass]]".{{Ref/Novel|Halo: 'Ghosts & Glass' by B. Giraud}}

==Halo 2 Anniversary Terminals==
*The first few terminals say John-117 accessed them! That is all.

==Halo 5==
Not yet

==Halo Infinite==
Not yet - But Halo: Edge of Dawn puts "finding them" as suspect. Outside ones that unlock via campaign progression.
*The logs exist: https://x.com/i/status/1555539422870994946 https://x.com/i/status/1573296176413261825 https://x.com/i/status/1547929293954564098

Notes: Edge of Dawn Chapter 7 - Has John and Joy confirm they found "a startling amount of intel through data drops and log entries". Focusing on the Lucas Browning ones.

==Halo Campaign evolved==
During the [[Battle of Installation 04]] in [[2552]], terminals were discovered on [[Installation 04]] that covered exchanges between [[343 Guilty Spark]] and [[2401 Penitent Tangent]].{{Ref/X|Id=XCEVTerminals|Halo|2088269159608013115|Halo|Y=2026|M=8|D=16|Quote=343 Guilty Spark, Installation 04's enigmatic monitor, suffered a hundred millennia of isolation. Terminals discovered on Alpha Halo detail several exchanges Spark shared with 2401 Penitent Tangent of Delta Halo before his transmissions ominously ceased. #FictionFriday}} According to [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] the information within these terminals are classified under [[Project BOOKWORM]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFLDF|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-lore-de-force|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Lore de Force|D=07|M=07|Y=2026}}
