Halo: Silentium: Difference between revisions

A code to a hidden audio epilogue, titled ''"Rebirth"'', is included in the form of Forerunner symbols featured in some of the chapter headings for the novel. The code can be used on [[Halo Waypoint]] to unlock a forty-minute narration by Greg Bear, describing the [[reintroduction]] phase from the perspective of [[Riser]]. Having survived the destruction of the greater Ark, Riser, [[Vinnevra]] and other humans are relocated on Installation 00 among many other species, where Forerunners watch over them until they are returned to their homeworld. At Riser's request, [[Florian|his people]] are relocated on a series of islands. Riser meets with the IsoDidact one last time before the Forerunners leave and the humans begin settling in their new home. Days after, the code was updated, adding 5 additional minutes to Epilogue, describing the trial to Mendicant Bias after the Battle of Maginot Sphere.
