Forum:The Guardians

What does the community think the Guardians are and what their purpose is? Alertfiend (talk) 20:10, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * To wield the Traveler's light and push back the Darkness...wait, wrong game. I think as per their name they are guarding some important Forerunner installation, or maybe even an ancient secret. One thing is for sure though, "killed by the Guardians" is going to have a whole new meaning.-- 22:26, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Humanity on the path to the Mantle, Guardians kill anyone who stray from the map's "path", maybe that has something to do with it hmmm. Alertfiend (talk) 22:45, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Man, that's deep. -- Topal the Pilot ( Talk | Contribs ) 22:53, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * IT IS ALL A CONSPIRACY! I do not have work today so I am bored. Alertfiend (talk) 22:57, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Lol. Anyway, to answer the question, maybe they are protectors of Forerunner technology. We know the Librarian wants humanity to acquire Forerunner tech so they ca inherit the Mantle of Responsibility, so maybe John was called ("The Master Chief is called, but you, your passage is denied!" - Warden Eternal) to start the reclamation and use the Guardians to access Forerunner tech/The Domain or something. -- Topal the Pilot ( Talk | Contribs ) 23:08, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Jul 'Mdama is trying to gain access to all the Forerunners tech right? what if he caused this by whatever he did at the Absolute Record? Alertfiend (talk) 23:18, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Yeah, because several Guardians all suddenly switched on at the same time as mentioned in the Halo 5 synopsis and at the beginning of the Halo 5 opening cinematic. -- Topal the Pilot ( Talk | Contribs ) 23:28, 20 September 2015 (EDT)


 * Halo 5 takes off 8 months after Halo 4 which would be May 2558, months before the Absolute Record thing went on. I smell a time jump between Ardent Moon mission and when the Guardians rise from the ground. Alertfiend (talk) 23:47, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * I think it takes 8 months after Spartan Ops, so in November/December of 2558. -- NightHammer (talk)(contribs) 23:55, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Well we know Osiris reaches Sanghelios on October 27th, 2558. Sith Venator  ( Dank Memes ) 00:00, 21 September 2015 (EDT)
 * The Absolute Record may lead Jul to Kamchatka where he activates the Guardians. That may be why Halsey has information on the attacks. -- Topal the Pilot ( Talk | Contribs ) 00:13, 21 September 2015 (EDT)


 * I'm guesing what happens at the Absolute Record is what triggers the Guardians to reactivate - we know "The Domain" is somehow active, even though it of all things should have been destroyed by the Halos original firing, being based on Precursor "neural physics" -0 and, being a repository for the Durance of every dead Forerunner for millions of years, it could be a means for the return of the Forerunners as an actual, physical species, albeit in Promethean shells. Are the Guardians paving the way for this process? Or are they trying to PREVENT it happening, serving the Librarian's plan of handing off the Mantle to humanity instead of letting Forerunners reclaim it in some form, with a few colonies as collateral damage? I don't know, but I'm interested to see how it turns out. --  Qura 'Morhek   The Autocrat     of Morheka   04:09, 21 September 2015 (EDT)
