Subject: A question about the Forerunner capital.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Ok, so, this is probably a really stupid question to be asking, but it's late at night, and I don't have all of my wits about me at this point in time.

I get that the capital is a series of platforms arranged in a spiral along a central rod, which I'd imagine would look something like this.

Now, to the part that I can't seem to get my head around. Now, under an attack, it's said that the capital can "rotate its sections to assume a spherical shape", so the structures atop each platform wouldn't be damaged. Am I the only one who can't make any sense of a straight line rotating sections of itself to form a spherical shape? Or am I just thick, and going about this all wrong?

Its also later described as a sliced-in-half fruit, with the city residing in the center. The two halves can close to protect the city.

This was interesting. Halo does still have a lot left in it.

Does it lead to Halo 4?
