Subject: What happened to the forerunner crystals remains?

No new games, catching up with the world, and filling it with the name of SpazDragon, the dragon with a spas-12.

In Halo: First Strike, based in the Menachite Forerunner Complex, Halsey and the rest of red team recovered a crystal that had the power to warp space, time, gravity, energy, and slip space itself. After the whole slipspace incident and destroying the crystal with C-7 foaming explosives, it was presumably gone forever. At the end of First Strike, it was revealed that three shards were recovered from the damaged Ascendant Justice hybrid, and shown to the Prophet of Truth. He ordered the people who found them congratulated then killed, and claimed that the crystal shards would be useful for later.

The story ended after that. What had the Prophet of truth intended them for? Where did they go after the whole conflict and where would they be after the war? Does anyone have any predictions?

""We meet again, young one. I am the last of those who gave you breath and shape and form, millions of years ago. I am the last of those your kind rose up and ruthlessly destroyed. And our answer is at hand."

This Crystal was how the Forerunners traveled so fast, where it comes from and what happens next is out of the question. For all we know it is Precursor

I didn't know it was precursor. Thanks.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

The Crystal's origins are unknown, I would certainly never say it was a Forerunner artefact.

Its future use by Truth is unknown, though I'd imagine it may have been used aboard the Dreadnaught to get to Earth faster.

Although the origins ARE unknown, Dr. Halsey and others claim it's Forerunner. But I sort of agree with you, and they could be wrong. I said it was forerunner to simplify things(for myself).

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

Perhaps its just in the Prophet of Truths trophy cabinet.

I wish they would have done more with it to be honest. Something in combination with the Ark perhaps.

At first, before Halo 3 came out and everything was purely speculation, I actually thought they might use a network of those crystals to pull an entire planet out of a galaxy to save it from both Flood and the Halos firing.

Come to think about it, that would have been cool :P I can just picture it right now. Earth going into Slipspace and ending up right in the middle of the Ark :P
