Subject: Halo CEA terminal observation

After just watching the terminal teaser for Halo Anniversary on Waypoint, I noticed that only 6 monitors were shown in that room.

7 Halo Rings are still around during the events of Halo CE, so should it be assumed that one ring has no monitor, or that one monitor was absent for some reason?

EDIT: It appears 2401 Penitent Tangent may be absent, assuming red is his normal colour and he wasn't just rampant during Halo 2.

You have no idea how revolting I can be.

I noticed this as well and I can't help but thinking that either:

A) The last monitor is not present at this "meeting"
B) The last Halo has not yet been completed and the monitor is either observing the final construction or has not been activated yet.

On a speculatory note: Maybe one of the monitors has gone "rampant" (for lack of a better word) very early on and the others are attempting to find a solution.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

you do understand one is missing because 2401 got caught right? remember halo 2 people.

Anyways the main things i noticed is that it looks like a human (chakas) activated the ring, and that when 343 says "it is my home" another voice can be heard on top of his.

We don't actually know what time period the terminal is set in, so 2401 may not be captured at this point.

I do agree that 2401 is the missing monitor though.

We don't know what happened to him, and speculations can be a disappointment.

Its the most logical explanation.

2401 was probably caught during the forerunner-flood war.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Wow, very good observation. It may be that 2401 may be in the clutches of Gravemind during this meeting.

That definitely is a human in that video.

Anyone have a link to the video? I saw it before I really understood what I was looking at. If it's against the rules to post it though then never mind.

All I keep thinking is: Meeting of the monitors!

This is going to be epic.

It doesn't look like there's room for 7 monitors in that room. They all came from a separate parts of the circle, all evenly spaced apart with no gap. I wonder why the 7th isn't included.

I like how they were all different colours.

What I want to know is how can the Gravemind infect a monitor.

That's a good point. Although I think that is probably an oversight, unless the room was built after Installation 05 was over-run.

"Defiant Reclaimer, he who will shatter the land and break the sky apart..."

You can see Pelicans and Banshee's dogfighting at one point, so at least some of the terminal is showing 'recent' events, how do we know the 'human' faces are pre-Halo detonation for sure?

Although personally i would agree with you guys!

2401 Penitent Tangent is missing - no red Monitor in the trailer. As people have said, it's probably safe to assume that he was either rampant or captured at the point of this meeting.

The meeting was probably to discuss 2401 to begin with.

While I do agree that it probably is 2401, it doesn't have to be. He was red when we saw him in Halo 2, but 343 turned red when he went rampant at the end of Halo 3. So basically, red may not be 2401's regular colour.
