==Numbers==

They are for something on Waypoint. [[User talk:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 20:08, 16 November 2011 (EST)

:They don't seem to be linear, and there isn't an approximately 100,000 year difference between terminal 2 and Terminals 1; 3 and 10.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 13:29, 29 November 2011 (EST)

:::The numbers may not be timestamps as we understand them... They seem to correspond to specific log entries, categorized chronologically, with 343GS assigning each subsequent event to the Log Entry that corresponds with a certain set of criteria, starting with the moment when "343 Guilty Spark" was split off Chakas' original Ancilla matrix to become a Monitor for one of the Installations in the Array. Terminal 2 seems to indicate that he'd been operating in this capacity for about 3 years prior to being assigned to Installation 04. Based upon this criteria, Terminals 1,4 and 9 may be listed under the same Log Entry because Spark had determined that they share certain identical characteristics. Perhaps this Entry corresponds to events associated with "Sentient Proximity Warning" situations, or (queue conspiracy music) perhaps Spark found sufficient similarities between the crashed vessel & the Pillar of Autumn to group them together under the same log entry (Maybe they were both Human-made & Spark assumed that whoever accessed the Terminals would know that...Or maybe it's just because they both contained the same atmosphere & crashed into the Halo)  Terminal 3's Log Entry might denote his first contact with the Covenant, via the T&R's "Dumb" AI, which would explain why it was similar to the Log Entries for Terminals 10 and 11. Terminals 5 and 6 seem to relate to the alien vessel, post-impact. Terminal 7 is a little weird, probably because Spark was beginning to go Rampant during that Log Entry. Terminal 8 seems to contain random thoughts and musings that he recorded during one of his trillions of simulated firings of the Array. [[User talk:DJenser|DJenser]] 17:35, 2 February 2012 (EST)

A poster on HBO said that the code apparently only works on the Xbox, and that it leads to a 5-second "signal lost" clip. I'm still skeptical; could anyone check this? -[[User talk:Kronos101|Kronos101]] 18:26, 22 November 2011 (EST)

I'm getting reports saying they 'locked' the terminal. What does that mean? Also: http://the99thdoctor.deviantart.com/art/12th-Terminal-Proof-270454675 [[User talk:ArchedParasite|ArchedParasite]] 23:30, 22 November 2011 (EST)

It's real, sort of...Frank O'Connor said this was a red herring on neogaf.http://www.neogaf.com/fo...hp?t=451382&page=65

Or they might be your allies, against that new foe. [[User:Tuckerscreator|<span style="color:#6600cc;">'''''Tuckerscreator'''''</span>]]^{([[User talk:Tuckerscreator|<font color="#008000">stalk</font>]])} 10:19, 29 November 2011 (EST)

:Tier 3, actually. The Sangheili weren't at Tier 2 yet, and the San'Shyuum had to use hit-and-run tactics, implying the Dreadnought could be or was damaged at times.

::I only meant they might the enemies as a result of some misunderstanding, like how they thought the previous humans were just invading them, but they were actually trying to escape the Flood. Them being allies would make sense too though. I could see it working either way. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 17:03, 29 November 2011 (EST)

::The other thing we learned, that they showed over and over, is that Spark had zero knowledge of anything that took place outside the ring. So when he said stuff like all the Forerunners died in Halo 2, that was an assumption, but we all heard it as fact. [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 05:58, 3 December 2011 (EST)

On a side note, I belive the "Didact's plan" Spark refers to in Terminal 8 will be seen in one of the new books. For all we know, The Didact tried his plan at the last second and Spark didn't know about it because he was on the Halo. It may even be a plot point in Halo 4, since the Forerunner fleet made its last stand in the area that the Chief is drifting, but I doubt it. Anyways, this is an indirect connection to Halo 4 in that way because the books themselves have connections.

does anyone knows if it can be unlocked in the halo anniversary extras menu or is it just for waypoint?--[[User talk:SGP|SGP]] 22:35, 20 December 2011 (EST)

::I mean that if once unlocked with the keyboard thing on waypoint you can make it appear in the extras menu under the maw terminal... like if you had seen it in the campaing...--[[User talk:SGP|SGP]] 22:43, 20 December 2011 (EST)

:::Just checked, it doesn't appear.

It appeared as if Spark was being split into fragments. Spark sounded concerned when he said "here it comes again." But I have no clue what Spark was referring to. Any thoughts? [[User:S.g.ali|S.g.ali]] ([[User talk:S.g.ali|talk]]) 13:25, 2 September 2013 (EDT)
