You deserve praise worthy of a god. Your explanation, imagery, and fluid dynamics make this something that should be included officially into the Halo series. Scott P.S. Didn't Halo 04 "shake itself to pieces" and the Ark get "badly damaged?" Truly wonderful. You deserve praise worthy of a god.

P.S. Didn’t Halo 04 “shake itself to pieces” and the Ark get “badly damaged?”

Halo's story is so complex it's hard to wrap your head around sometimes. This site is LEGENDARY. Hope you keep it going! Can’t thank you enough for doing this.

I'm not as good at the technoligical aspect of the computer as most people. Also, if somebody can show me how to do a smiley face, I would really appreciate it.

A couple of things, though: -To comment on #22, it is a possibility that Offensive Bias was the last defense inside the terminal system in the Ark. He did return there after defeating Medicant, but then, how did Medicant Bias gain access? It seems unlikely that Offensive Bias would just allow him access, after what he did. -Also, allow me to point out that the good path to the frigate is the only help you get from Medicant Bias in the last level on H3, if that! I mean the first time I read his message on the terminal, I thought that he would bring in some heavy reinforcements, or something. It is possible for him to control the sentinals in that last level, but that wouldn't explain why they attack you after you leave the control room with 343 Guilty Spark destroyed. I believe that since Spark was the Monitor of Installation 04, and this was a replacement 04, that he controlled all the sentinals, which would avenge him after destruction. This, though, doesn't answer my question of why Medicant Bias wouldn't just take over the sentinal network on the Installation, and help the Chief and Arbitor with the flood. It all just seems confusing to me why Medicant Bias doesn't really help you at all when he said he would! Anyways, this entry is open to comments of any kind, so please--EDUCATE ME!! =-) Great stories–They all seemed to make so much sense!

Anyway, I've got a few speculations about them. Is it possible that the intelligence that logs and blocks 343's access of the network is Offensive? I'd doubt that Mendicant would have control of the Sentinal network on the Ark due to his betrayal, and Offensive did return to the Ark... prehaps the Forerunners installed him for defense before they dissapeared? As to what Mendicant did for the Chief... prehaps he reinforced parts of the ring that the Chief had to drive over to get to the Dawn. A bit farfetched, I realise, but an awful lot of stuff is blown up, yet there's always a good path to the frigate, unless you linger too long...

This titanic work decrypts so much about the Haloverse it simply is mind boggling. Your analysis, no matter how (in)accurate they end up being, are worthy additions to the franchise. Excellent work. My thanks. I agree.
