hey guys i read all the books awhile back and was trying to remember did they ever explain these "crystals" i mean its obvious bungie has a significant role for these. what role do you think these serve in halo 2. AND FOR THE RECORD I KNOW "NO ONE KNOWS" THIS POST IS ABOUT SPECULATION< so either speculate. please dont reply with a i dont know ... or no one knows. just looking for speculative thoughts. thanks.
Perhaps a navigation device?
interesting,,,,,good thought
theres probubly going to be some on earth some where, thats the only reason i could think of for why the covenant dont glass earth, but then again reach had a crystal and they still glassed like 99% of it becasue they knew the area were it was... so maybe the covenant dont know were the one on earth is....... if there is one
They never really explained them other than the fact that they warp space, time, and slipspace. The Covenant consider them holy, so they must be Forerunner.
yeah , first strike sorta mysteriously surrounded the idea of these crystals. i will read it the week before h2 comes out. bungie said they are heavily involved witht he story of those books.
My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.My Stats
Well from what I recall the Covenant seek these crystals because their time-space bending properties gives them emense power (the very last chapter of FS is prety much all about this). The speculation goes something like this...The Covenant already posess time crystals and (der) what do you do with them? but travel through time (which can be a very deadly for your enemies). So the Prophets secretly wanna go back in time and seat themselves somehow as "Gods" or 'god-like/immortal' and fully conquer and control all Covenant races (humans are but an after-thought after they gain one-more-time-crystal).
