I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

Was just about to post this. I gotta say It was fantastic. I cannot wait to watch all the terminals from CEA and get the full story.

049 Abject Testament!!

This was a great terminal, solid info.

049 sounds like he is sad or something.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

So obviously GS was at some point a Forerunner. Perhaps that is how the Forerunner were able to overcome the short life cycles of their AI by using deceased Forerunner. Just like Halsey did to create Cortana. This gives me hope that Cortana will be metastable in the new series. Similar technologies producing similar results and all that.

Perhaps in the new series there will be a way to access the Domain the very mention of it makes me think that it and the Forerunner will be integral in the new Halo series. As it seems that 343 has a great interest in bringing things from the books into the games, at least more of an interest than Bungie did.

I enjoyed watching that terminal. I can't wait to see them all in the game itself.

Well, if a race you willingly served and cherished is sacrificing itself for the greater good of the Galaxy because it failed to stop the flood, I'm sure you would be upset.

Indeed, so many twists and reveals happening... It's so exciting


10 years after!

This is gonna be great though, I loved the little flashback scenes of forerunner buildings and ships!!! So elegant yet crude.

Sorry if this is something well known, but what is the "journey through the great _____(couldn't make out word)" that GS mentioned at 0:58?

Bobcast is paid in MILF blind dates.

So, it looks like the Rainbow Theory is confirmed? At least part of it, anyways.

Where did he say he was a Forerunner?

  • 08.26.2011 1:57 PM PDT

Something I forgot to say when I saw the red glow coming from that monitor I thought it was 2401 Penitent Tangent but turns out is another monitor.

I didn't spot any other monitor with a red tone so 2401 is not red?

Like it has been said in the past, then perhaps he indeed was in combat mode during his capture by the Gravemind.

I found it pretty interesting. I'll enjoy the terminal logs in Halo CE.

"Abject Testament". Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure "abject" means miserable, and we all know what testament is, so if his name is anything to go off of, 049 Abject Testament may be a bearer of bad news...

His name be fitting in his final words to 343 Guilty Spark. It seems like a solemn warning to me, that the Forerunners, the Monitors, the Halos, would be better left undiscovered by budding civilizations.
