From the cinematics in Halo 2 we clearly know now that all those massive energy towers on the Halo rings are the source of the weaponized blast that kills all sentient life within 25,000 light years of the station. What I want to know is, why are the towers in the second Halo level "Halo" (i.e the first level on the ring itself) firing off short blasts every 45 seconds or so? Is the ring communicating with the exact opposite side? Is it just testing its firing mechanism? Why the heck do these towers fire when there has been no signal for the entire Halo to fire?
