DNA slot

The DNA slot is a means of identification for Covenant Elites. The DNA slot consists of a rectangular black box, standing about five units high. Green light sprayed out of a slot on the structure's side. The Elite is supposed to place their hand in the slot. When this is done, the machine samples their tissue, and compares its DNA with that on file.

These are seldom used, except in formal meetings with Prophets or other members of the High Council, to prevent any assasination attempts. When they are used, they are often guarded by a squad of Special Ops Elites who also must be presented with an Identity Disk before they will allow passage.
