The Case

The Case is an object seen in Part 2 of the Arms Race video trilogy. It was found in a pile of wreckage and rubble by S. Hartley using a Scanner. The apparent fact that Delta Team was specifically deployed to find The Case (due to the Appearance of the Scanner) indicates that The Case is of high importance. While some have speculated that The Case is an ammunition crate for a SPNKr missile clip, The Case appears to be a plastic or metal case instead of the wooden crate that SPNKr missiles come in. The case features a black finish with the letters "UNSC" on the side in white.



The Following is Conjecture, not fact
Due to the title of the Arms Race trilogy it is likely that The Case contains some kind of superweapon(s), Possibly Fury or HAVOK tactical nukes, or a Forerunner artifact

Reality
The case is actually a cover for a kind of laser targetting device, used to target Master Chief's renetry cometwhen it seperates from the main one upon his reentry on earth. They successfully beam this information to a Pelican dropship, who give it to the recovery team.
