If your Car's engine is messed up and you tell your friend about it do you tell him, "my engine is busted" or "my car is busted"? The simple answer is, either will do.

Of course what's being said is compatible with Halo.

Mind you, everything you mentioned there is perfectly compatible with the library installation with the single exception of the last. The Library Installation was where the Flood were contained. That's where the research facilities were contained. That's where the Index was.

The point was that "Installation" is a broad definition. We can't specifically, with absolute certainty, apply it to any one thing.

Uhm... there is a point to that statement right?

It's at least probable that "the Installation" is Halo.

He says:
"I am the Monitor of installation 04. I am 343 Guilty Spark. Someone has released the Flood. My function is to prevent it from leaving this installation."

If the flood has already escaped onto Halos surface and the other installations, what could they escape but Halo?

Back to bending space. Isn't folding space what the Shaw-Fugikawa engines on the UNSC ships do. So it wouldn't be that impossible for the Forerunner to do it(seeing how much more advanced than both humans and covenant).

343 is stating his function, not what has occured. You're applying human psychology to an alien artificial intelligence. All of what he said in that quote could be considered his "name".

Not to mention the fact that he is insane. *lol*

I'm not stating it's "impossible" that he's referring to the Halos at all these times but only arousing the possibility that the possibility exists that he may not be once in a while.

We don't know how Halo works, but we do know its range (25000 lightyears).

But someone said earlier that you wouldn't be able to bend space, and Pez just said you can with those Slipspace engines......so why wouldn't the Forerunner be able to input that into Halo...

Maybe Halo can bend space around it and move 25000 lightyears, kill everything inbetween, then save up enough energy to jump another 25000 lightyears.

lol, that's going a bit to far......but i'm not saying it isn't possible
what i believe is that halo squishes space....and then amplifies the signal.......or uses a black hole

Bending space around one's ship and bending all space in the size of a galaxy is something else entirely. How you would bend all space in the galaxy while selectively not bending the space containing each planet, star and astrophysical anomaly so that you don't end up crushing all the planets into a single giant lump is beyond me however.

Edit: and before I get nitpicked to death, I know you'd only have to do that in a 50,000 LY diameter. Still, the same logic applies.

I don't think Shaw-Fujikawa engines bend space. I think it has to do with ripping a hole in space to enter slipspace.

Then why are there more Halos out there?

Huh? Maybe to get the job done faster. It was just an idea.

well the Covenant had technology that allowed them the be more precise with their slipspace jumping, and as we read in the book the First Strike, there was an artifact that bent space....they travelled basically from one end of the galaxy to the other

Isn't bending space the same as folding it.

The two terms, bending and folding are likely the same. Folding was originated in Dune and it was vaguely described, at least in the first book.

Well this is sci fi so folding space isn't unheared of. Most Sci fi falls back on folding space because traveling faster than light is totally imposible. Even if you did reach the speeds you would creat a causality violation after your trip and then the universe most likely goes boom! So how else are you going to move about the cosmos.
