- The Forerunners have put a whole society of humanity (many various sub-species) on the Halo Ring, they are taken to the Palace of Pain.
I'm curious about this. I wonder what they're doing to the humans and why. And the Palace of Pain? I wonder what kind of torture is conducted there.
I reckon that they're experimenting on humanity to try and recreate the lost Flood cure (Vinnevra says that humans are treated as if they are animals in an eco-system), I read an excerpt last week saying that the Timeless One was in the Palace with the Flood, so it seems that this may be the start of the formation of the Gravemind? Therefore the Halo Chakas is on is Installation 05.
I often look at the multiplayer maps for Anniversary as reference to potential locations that will be discussed or seen in later installments. The multiplayer map Timberland/Ridgeline takes place on Installation .05, not .04 as you would normally suspect. Instead of Threshold, you see the blue planet Substance in the sky. And in the distance, a large Forerunner palace-like structure.
Why set the map on Insallation .05? It could be a clue, which means yes, they are on Installation .05.
Also, someone managed to get the book early through a preorder screw up. From what I read of his posts on halo.xbox.com, the Primordial is hearding thousands of humans into the Palace to turn them into the Flood. The Primordial, by some means that I either missed the explanation of or wasn't explained in the quoted passage, floats above the cattle-like humans as they walk to their doom, hearding them, all the while accompanied by a shimmering green light, most likely Medicant.
There were so many humans, their combined weight and walking kicked up a massive dust cloud that obscured them and the Primordial.
