Subject: An examination of the destruction of the 12 Halo Rings.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

I always thought that the ring the Timeless One lived on, was Delta Halo; where MC, Cortana, and the rest met him. If the Timeless One and Gravemind are the same, that is...

Cortana even said something about the crater where you encounter the Gravemind for the fist time, something about it probably being created by an impact, but I was too busy shooting at things.
Maybe he crashed on the instalation (05)? Or is the crater caused by the war? A bit of topic, but what's the deal with that crater anyway, and the odd buildings around it?

EDIT: the numerology would make sense too; if MB can control five installations, it might make sense that he took nr 5.. Maybe... From a storytelling perspective anyway.

I'm expecting (read: hoping) all this confusion is cleared up in Primordium. You can follow a bit along what happens, one or two rings (I can't recall exactly) get destroyed by the Forerunner fleet, one makes it through the portal damaged and didn't another one make it in the portal but was destroyed? And then MB has control of 5 of them and there's 6 more being built at The Ark.

Like other have said already in this thread, it's not very clear what happens to them all. I hope Primordium goes into a little bit of detail on this matter.

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

This is what I've been saying for a long time too. This is just more proof to back up the idea of the Timeless One and Gravemind being the same entity, Installation 05 was the Rings that Faber gave Mendicant Bias to oversee - his serial number is 05-032.
