And the terminals were forerunner not covenant, the voice speaking in the background was medicant bias.
No it wasn't ! It clearly says Prophets great journey ,right before you fight the second scarab ! Its not forerunner ! The Covy excavated those tights already !
I've read the books I play the games !!!
If your sooooo god like on Halo why don't you show me some proof cause I've gotten the Marathon Achievement and on the last mission , you can clearly see that its covy !
Oh lord please tell me you're trolling........
Any Halo fan--any at all--who has ever read those Terminals knows that they are Forerunner. They specifically speak about Forerunners, mention Forerunner names, detail the Forerunner war, and talk explicitly about Medicant Bias. It even says on the last Terminal "I am Medicant Bias, and this is what I've done."
omg you're serious........
Alright, here it goes:
Read it.
Last terminal, Halo 3. Medicant Bias' message to the Chief:
"You do not know the contortions I had
to go through to follow you here,
Reclaimer. I know what you're here
for. What position do I take? Will I
follow one betrayal with another?
You're going to say I'm making a
habit of turning on my masters.
But the one that destroyed me long
ago, in the upper atmosphere of a
world far distant from here, was an
implement far cruder than I.
My weakness was capacity -
unintentional though it was! -
to choose the Flood. A mistake my
makers would not soon forgive.
But I want something far different
from you, Reclaimer.
Atonement.
And so here at the end of my life,
I do once again betray a former
master. The path ahead is fraught
with peril. But I will do all I can
to keep it stable - keep you safe.
I'm not so foolish to think this
will absolve me of my sins. One life
hardly balances billions.
But I would have my masters know
that I have changed.
And you shall be my example."
Why would a Covenant call you Reclaimer? Why would he send you to his former masters? Why would the line "I am Medicant Bias" appear right next to the Terminal as you access his final message if it were not a Forerunner?
Second to last Terminal, Halo 3, Legendary:
"I begin this report with no
illusions that it will ever be seen
by its intended readers. In all
likelihood they have already
committed [species-wide suicide]
with the goal of preserving
biological diversity in this galaxy.
I must ensure that this information
reaches those who must come after.
If I fail in this, how can they not
regard my creators' sacrifice as
anything but [a crime without
measure]?
[12:H 19:M 59:S]
Contender AI 05-032<//>Mendicant
Bias is returning and has the
capacity to bring the enemy through
the [Maginot] sphere. The crews of
my task force are aware of the
opposing fleet's size; all data
indicates that they have prepared
themselves - but with biologicals
anything is possible. I will make
sure that [malfunctioning equipment]
does no further damage. Perhaps its
current failure will finally allow
it to succeed at the task it was
originally created for.
[11:H 15:M 48:S]
Mendicant has burrowed through the
sphere exactly where I expected -
a direct path from initial rampancy
to final retribution. Rage has made
it predictable. If the fate of the
crews of my auxiliary fleet were not
already a foregone conclusion I
would rate their chance of survival
at [1:1,960,000].
Even though 05-032's declaration of
hostilities simplified strategic
preparations; I do not expect an
easy fight - just one I cannot lose.
[11:H 12:M 09:S]
05-032 was right about one thing:
there is only one way to defeat the
enemy, and that is to visit utter
annihilation on it.
If the galaxy must be [rendered
temporarily lifeless], so be it.
As Mendicant stated in its report
[58,078:H 48:M 12:S ago]: half
measures will not suffice.
[09:H 45:M 18:S]
In support of 05-032's original 1000
core vessels is a fleet numbering
4,802,019; though only 1.8 percent
are warships - and only 2.4 percent
of that number are capital ships -
I am outnumbered [436.6:1]. I expect
my losses will be near total, but
overwhelming force has its own
peculiar drawbacks.
Such a press of arms invites many
opportunities for unintentional
fratricide.
[07:H 36:M 41:S]
My auxiliaries are momentarily
stunned by Mendicant's opening
move - 1,784,305 leisure craft
ranging from [45 ~ 5769 tonnes]
advance in hopes of overwhelming my
comparatively tiny force. I do not
have enough [weapon systems] to
target them all.
It is a mathematical certainty that
some of them will get through and
attempt to board. There isn't a
single warship with this first wave.
It seems my opponent's rage has left
no room for respect.
[04:H 01:M 55:S]
I could have countered its move if I
had released my fighters. They are
ready but idle; making their base
vessels more attractive prizes than
targets. Now the first of many waves
of commercial vessels mixed with
single ships and assault craft surge
forward. The first ship from my
fleet to be boarded breaks formation
and races into the oncoming
vessels - striking one amidships.
The cargo vessel's hull splits open
and out of it explodes not the
expected consumer goods but 31,860
dying warriors.
[00:H 19:M 02:S]
The seventh and final wave of
container ships, barges, tankers, and
military vessels engage my fleet;
another 214,320 ships, many in
excess of [50,000 tonnes], engage my
seemingly disrupted vanguard. I
continue to fight just well enough
to seem lucky.
Mendicant, or the enemy, has been
sending a small percentage of its
fleet elsewhere. Good. Let them
believe they can seize a foothold
somewhere inside the sphere.
[00:H 00:M 11:S]
Despite all its faults, 05-032 has
fought remarkably well.
My auxiliaries lay in tatters - more
than half of them are now part of
the enemy fleet. But just as I had
predicted, 05-032 concentrated on
them like they were the sole key to
victory. Its desire to punish our
creators blinded it to the true
purpose of my [feints]. I have
reduced the combat effectiveness of
its core fleet to 79.96 percent.
Surely now it must realize that
something is amiss.
[00:H 00:M 00:S]
The [Halo effect] strikes our
combined fleets. All ships piloted
by biologicals are now [adrift].
I can trade Mendicant ship for ship
now and still prevail.
[00:H 00:M 01:S]
Of my ships that had been captured,
11.3 percent of them are close
enough to Mendicant's core fleet
that they can be used offensively -
either by initiating their
self-destruct sequences, or by
opening unrestricted ruptures into
[slipstream space].
It is best that our crews perished
now; because the battle that is
about to ensue would have driven
them mad.
[00:H 00:M 02:S]
I throw away all the rules of
acceptable conduct during battle;
near the ruptures I throw away all
the accepted ideas of how the
natural world is supposed to behave.
I toss around [37,654 tonne]
dreadnoughts like they were
fighters; dimly aware of the former
crews being crushed to liquescence.
For now all my concentration is
focused on inertial control and
navigation. Targeting isn't even a
consideration - I will be engaging
my enemy at arm's length.
[00:H 01:M 14:S]
05-032 abandoned the tactic of using
derelict ships as cover after [72:S]
- It seems that 52 core vessels lost
to the ruptured fuel cells of
derelict ships was lesson enough.
Add another 608 lost to collision,
point fire, structural failure due
to inertial manipulation, and
[slipstream space] induced
discoherence and I now outnumber
Mendicant [6:1].
[00:H 03:M 00:S]
Mendicant was able to postpone its
inevitable annihilation for [106:S]
with its attempt to flee. But the
last of its core vessels hangs
before me now; crippled and defeated
but still sensate. I could spare it;
carve out what is left of its
[personality construct array] and
deliver it to [Installation Zero]
for study.
I doubt it would have extended the
same courtesy to me."
When was the last time the Halo array was fired in Covenant times? Why does this AI constantly refer to MB, or Medicant Bias? Why are there millions of ships in a single fleet? When was the last time we saw a human or Covenant fleet do that?
Quote from page 184 from the Encyclopedia.
"The dramatic final years of the Forerunner presence in the Milky Way were uncovered by a series of Terminals scattered throughout a series of Forerunner installations."
Quote from Encyclopedia page 227, under the section labled "Forerunner Technology":
"The Terminals found on a variety of Forerunner installations have often yielded pieces of the history of the Forerunners. In particular, they have revealed the story of the last days of the Forerunners through the eyes of the Librarian and Didact, thus giving new insight into the decision to create and fire the Halo Array."
Now do you get they're not Covenant?
