And do we know for a fact they were not sought out and revived for the Forerunner-Flood War? We have two more books after all.

Taken from the book again -

In the archives of treasure-seekers, such tales were inevitably followed by warnings. If one should come across something called a Cryptum, or a Warrior Keep, one should leave it alone. Violating a Cryptum, whatever it was, came with
nasty consequences, not the least of which involved angering the highly protective guild of Warrior-Servants.


It is unlikely they would, unless these individuals possessed extremely valuable information or there were so many of them that it would help the war effort against the flood.
If the Forerunner were on the brink of extinction they would need all the warriors they could get no matter if they were shamed or whatever.


You're right, but from the book we have only learned about the opening of one cryptum, and I don't like the sound of the 'nasty consequences' when the wrath of an entire guild of warriors is being described as the least of somebody's worries if they decide to open a crypt.

Do not panic, or you will fail.


Posted by: Spartan1065 "You do understand that while externally, this space may be only a few meters in diameter within the center of Onyx internally it's compressed dimensionality... A few meters in diameter eh? That does not sound like what we saw in the teaser does it?

Imagine this: when Miranda activated (and subsequently deactivated into stand-by mode) Installation 05, the Shield World started to close.

Now, when MC completely deactivates the Array on the Ark, does the Shield World reappear out of slipspace somewhere? I mean, how do the people that take refuge inside the world get out? While it is a bit of a stretch, it isn't impossible at all.
