Subject: The Forerunner caverns under Reach - Possibly in game?

I was just reading First Strike again, and I remembered about the Forerunner caverns underneath Reach. If you don't know what I'm talking about, basically, after the Master Chief destroys the first Halo, he eventually winds up at Reach again, where he, other Spartans, and Dr. Halsey discover Forerunner ruins underneath Reach. In these caverns they discover a slip space distorting crystal.

In Ghosts of Onyx, Halsey comments that the caverns may be more extensive than they thought. Perhaps even underneath the whole of the planet.

Now, do you think these will be in the game? It would be a way for Bungie to implement Sentinels and perhaps the Flood into the game without needing a Halo ring.

I know this isn't much of a theory; when I have the time I'll update it. Does anyone think it possible though?

Ninjabag the tea-pirates!

I don't want to join your group.

It'd be good but you'd have to do it as a different team of Spartans as they didn't encounter enemies down there, or if it was in a cutscene. In that book it's always talking about how the covenant/forerunner language seems familiar, they never explain that.

it would be ok if you were retreating and had to get through the tunnels as fast as you can

It seems very possible that something like this could happen. I expect this game to kind of follow the books, but tell a new story.

Perhaps, but then we wouldn't be able to appreciate the beautiful Forerunner architecture.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

This would be great... I wonder what else the Forerunner had buried under the surface of Reach.

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

It'd be cool if loads of Sentinels began to maul both you and the Covies chasing you.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

And if they do, i wonder if you can use them.

Imagine if Team Katana's pods were in there. Since the pods were Slipspace protected nothing in the normal 3 dementions could hurt them. Since Dct Hasley says that ''they are right here but at the same time they are not'' maybe they could be conected to Reach underground and could be pulled out of the Slipspace from Reach or Onyx. But of course this is just extreme wild speculation. lol
