Subject: amount of halo installations

In the book Halo Cryptum there are 12 installations, and in Halo 3 The Ark there are 7 holographic lit installations. Now I understand some were destroyed and lost, but shouldn't there have been some empty spaces for the other 5 installations? Also in Halo 2-3 we see that an installation can be rebuilt within a few years (installation 4 / 4b). Wouldn't the other 5 installations have been rebuilt within the time they were destroyed?

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

There are 7 installations within our galaxy. The others could have been in other galaxies.

There are 12 Forerunner Installations

Installation 00-07 are the Ark and the Halo Array

Others are just other installations.

No, there clearly are 12 Halos. Its in Cryptum.

One went rogue, controlled by Mendicant Bias. Probably gets destroyed in the next novel.

The other 4? Hell, I don't know Chewbacca. The Halo Array stuff in Cryptum was something I could not follow properly :/

Seriously? How didn't I pick up on this?

It's very muddled, but I think 11 of the original Halos were destroyed, 1 got through (Bias' Ring) and six more were being built at the Ark. Thus making the 7 we all know and love.

Medicant bias had 5 under his control after he went rampanant ...it was most likely they got destroyed by the forerunners and then forerunners modded the ark so it wouldnt rebuild them...because if they would....the MB wouldbe had 5 halos.

I think this is correct...

Can't really remember though. Haven't read it in a while.

Something will obviously happen to the other Halo's between Cryptum and Halo CE.

  • 11.11.2011 6:09 AM PDT

We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

Well, if you think about it, Installation 04B was likely largely built within a two-month period. Halo CE, 2, and 3 all take place in a pretty damn small time period.

The wonders of Forerunner Builder tech never cease to amaze, eh?

Don't blame ya. That part of Halo: Cryptum was the toughest thing for me to follow. THe entire battle on the Capital screwed with my head when I tried reading it.

Yeah I found it quite difficult to understand...

Ok, let's try the simple maths, maybe I can figure it out. :P

12 at the start, 7 at the end.
So 5 in total were destroyed or something. Okey dokey...

So with Mendicant Bias contolling one of these, 4 must have been destroyed in the Capital battle.

avid forger, love vehicle gameplay

Just trying to picture the capital in it's "unfolded" state gave me numerous brain farts. But yes, There were 12 halos at the capital battle. 5 were taken over by MB and encircled the capital. the other 7 halos ran away throgh te portal, only to be lost forever in slipspace, due to that much stuff being in there. Also there was at least one warship destroyed as well. Only one made it through, which one it was i'm not sure of though, however i'm sure it was not MB's ring. Anyway, This leaves us with 5 rings, all under MB's control at the capital. 6 more are built, and this now leaves 12 rings floating around. ONI's new mission is to search for the remaining rings. What if they find the wrong ones?
Now here's something that puzzles me. If the didact and librarian vow for another ring never to be built, then why is 04b being built?

Thats what i said in my previos post...
Also maybe 7 installations is the crittical number to destroy the whole galaxy not leaving a spot ?
