Talk:2401 Penitent Tangent

Theories
Revealed by Penitent Tangent is the fact that the ring(s) have been activated exactly once before, and is/are quite capable of being activated again. It shouts at Regret for the Covenant's "blatant disregard of protocol" in controlling the Flood. Before anything more can be said, 2401 Penitent Tangent is taken away. Even so, however, suggestions, and fans say that this, along with Guilty Spark, should play an important role when meeting even another monitor in Halo 3. Anyone who has played through Halo 2, and watched the cutscenes, saw that there were seven halos, and if the Bungie team makes another Halo game, there should be a time where all three monitors meet. However, this is purely speculation.

Questions
If Gravemind can use 2401 Pentitent Tangent to access all of Halo's systems, then why didn't he A. Lower the containment shield to infect the ring with flood? and B. Why did the sentinels on Delta Halo attack the flood?.
 * It appears that Gravemind had kept the Monitor captive, not that he had control over it. Gravemind may have discovered how the transporting system worked, but not how to contol everything else. -ED 19:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hidden Graph?
Using the same latter code for penitnet tangent on Guilty spark I received the final input numbers of 10,2. What if all the names of the monitors were computed and then the nubers (10,2 & 16,7...etc) were put on a graph to make a porabola? Would it make something. The troubling fact is that we do not know which nuber would be the y-axis and the x-axis. We need to know all the names before we can actually come to a conclusion.

Red?
When 343 was pissed off, he turned red. Then why is Tangent red? Is he always mad, or does he turn a different color when angry?--The Evil O&#39;malley 17:50, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Red is probably the color he was given when he was created. And besides, 343GS went red when he fired his Sentinel Beam. If he always went red when hes angry, then why didnt he go red in the first game? Kap2310 21:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, Spark was malfunctioning and going insane at the time he started flashing red. -- E D  22:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
