Subject: The final dictum of the Ecumine Council... *cryptum spoilers*

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

Maybe I'm missing something here, but wasn't the Council wiped out by Mendicant Bias after he hijacked the 5 Halos? How were they able to have Spark become the monitor of 04 if they were all being massacred on the Capital?

And another thing I noticed, in Terminal 2, we see Spark flying to the Ark (or just one of the rings there) and there's what appears to be debris from the destroyed ring at the end of Cryptum. If so, how long do you think this takes place after the book? It doesn't seem likely anyone survived on the Capital, yet we see organized activity in Terminal 2.

But if this is all explained in Primordium, just tell me, so I can go pick it up, and read it for myself.

Yeah, but they were preparing to scrap the project weren't they? After the Master Builder was incarcerated.

The activity was organized mainly by Didact and the Librarian/lifeshapers.

THe council was all too scared to do anything themselves.

So terminal 2 does take place right after Cryptum then?

Every thing takes place after cryptum save for the scenes that obviously do not.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Couldn't they make a new council?

I bet they did. If there was a new council they didn't seem to do much. Didact and the Librarian seemed to be doing most of the stuff during the war.

Well, according to 33 Guilty Spark, the Librarian was doing something while the Didact was being a brooding emo plotting to kill humanity.

=P

Waypoint Moderators aren't really Moderators, just power hungry and its goal is defend their beloved Halo at all costs. (Meaning that they wank Halo too much.)

BS Angel is alleged foe so, be wary of Waypoint and its moderators! Do not attempt to move to Waypoint. Enter your own risk.

*WARNING* IT IS MY OPINION.

They did.

The Didact returned to the graces of newly constituted Council- for a time. Halo: Primordium, page number 374
