Unknown Forerunner Installation?

Hang on, this is Halo 4 we're talking about. Shouldn't it be set on Requiem? Or more likely, a simulation of a site on Requiem? Why must be unknown? --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 14:42, 18 February 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330

Oh, wait. I think I see now. But now I'm wondering, what installation, and where? Not that I'm going to get an answer anytime soon. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 14:45, 18 February 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330

I always assumed this was on Requiem and the map had something to do with powering Requiem's artificial star. But after reading the article again, I guess it isn't.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 12:17, 17 December 2013 (EST)

Some serious issues with this map's setting

I can't believe it took me this long to think about it, but there are some BIG questions that need answering about this map's setting:

1) How could a world that close to its star bear life? The heat and radiation would be lethal.

2) What would shooting innocuous-looking beams of plasma at this dying star even accomplish?

3) Why do the beams not seriously injure the player if they're supposed to be some kind of ultra-powerful star saver?

The answer is so simple: it's all a simulation of the UNSC Infinity. --They're coming. They're hungry. (talk) 19:50, 16 December 2013 (EST)

Dr. Mutran is right. The Spartans are not actually at the location the simulation is based on. However, the beam in the center of the map actually acts as a gravity lift of sorts.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 12:17, 17 December 2013 (EST)

But all the simulations depict actual locations, right? I thought they gathered topographical data and whatnot from certain locations and then integrated them into the simulations.--File:PENGUIN4.gifFluffyEmoPenguin^{(ice quack!)} 10:10, 18 December 2013 (EST)

I'm sorry but you have a problem with the Forerunner somehow keeping a world intact despite having it sit near a star, which it is also preventing from supernova. Remember when they built a 2 au wide dyson sphere with a full sized artificial star at its core? Remember when Requiem dropped into its sun and didn't melt until well after it entered the Star. They're Forerunner, suspending the death of a star was a very expensive tuesday for them. I direct you to this thread if you want to make some sense of their feats. http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/forerunner-feat-thread.236388/ - ProphetofTruth (talk) 10:24, 18 December 2013 (EST)
