Granted, the existence of that relay could have been what Mshak was trying to tell Ben, but it ended up going to Petra in the event of Mshak's death or after he went dark (indeed, her dialogue strongly hints at that in Episode 10)... However, Mshak had no incentive, or even a reason, to allow Ben to pull up all manner of info to clear the Chief's name, expose the truth about the SPARTAN II program & the ONI cover-up, but then prevent Ben from digging too deeply into the Chief's past by flooding his compad with corrupted files that somehow miraculously didn't spread to the data he just downloaded... That strongly suggests the work of someone close to the Chief, and the description of the brightly glowing light on the relay indicates to me that it was under ''HEAVY'' load at the time, as if it were being occupied by, say, a certain Smart AI... Then again, maybe I'm just talkin' outta my a$$ here. Hell, for all I know, this relay thing could still turn out to be Sully, working on the DL to return the favor to the Chief for saving his bacon 32 years earlier.

As for whether or not Ben is still alive at the end of the series, my money's on "Yes", but that he's had to go way underground as well. The bottom line here is that, after all of this, it's either him or ONI; both of them simply cannot publically exist at the same time now, and my money's on ONI coming out on top of that particular contest... So if Ben '''''is''''' still alive, he's gone silent & deep now...[[User:DJenser|DJenser]] ([[User talk:DJenser|talk]]) 10:30, 8 June 2015 (EDT)
