Subject: SOEIVs?

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

How is it a "facepalm?" If you have read the books, not your manual, they are always called, "HEVs'"...

They're called both. It's even in the Cole Protocol, it switches between the 2 names. They're the exact same thing.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

At the end of Halo 2 Master Chief follows the Prophet Truth back to earth by stowing away in Truths Forerunner ship. What you see at the beginning of Halo 3 is Chief jumping out of the ship in some kind of drop pod.
Edit: which is weird because he is laying in the grass in the cutscene. don't really know what the pod was for if he wasnt in it.

looks like a SOEIV pod to me


It's pretty obviously a Forerunner door. At least I thought it was obvious.

SOEIVs have a window, HEVs don't. That would be the difference. They use SOEIVs in The Cole Protocol and ODST and use HEVs in The Flood, Halo 2, and Halo Wars. That would be my guess at least.

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

You mean HEV's?

They let me pick. Did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others, you were strong and swift and brave. A natural leader. But you had something they didn't, something else no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck. .....was I wrong?

A Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle, also referred to as a Human Entry Vehicle or HEV, is a small pod used by the United Nations Space Command to deploy an individual from high orbit to the ground.
