I just recieved Cryptum and Primordium and I started to read Cryptum.

I havn't gotten that far through it, I'm still on the first chapter. I wanted to know is an "Ancilla" like an AI? Also how do you pronounce it?

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

Yeah, an Ancilla is pretty much just a Forerunner AI. They're commonly found in the suits that Forerunners wear and help them to access the Domain.

The way I pronounce it is: An - sill - a

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I think it's pronounced An-kil-a, as the word "ancilla" is a latin word meaning "slave girl".

Just thought I'd mention it, I'm not making an attack on you or anything like that

According to Dictionary.com, it's an - sil - uh.

The Halo word, or the Latin word? Because in Latin they always pronounced C's hard, just like how they always pronounced W's like V's. Just saying.

Thanks guys. -An-sil-a- sounds right to me. 3 chapters in and I'm really liking it. I'm a slow reader though xD

Can't wait to finish it and start Primordium, I should finish them both by Halo 4.

I feel ashamed to say that I haven't read any of the Halo books! Do you think I should get them? IF so, are they in an order that I should get them, or would that not matter.

Cryptum is book one of the Forerunner saga and Primordium is book two. Thats why I got them both, as for others I have no idea.

Ah ok thanks

  • 03.15.2012 1:36 PM PDT

the order in which the main series was released
1.fall of reach
2.the flood
3.first strike
4.ghosts of onyx
5.contact harvest
6.the cole protocol
although the first 4 follow events in order the other two are seperate side stories, also glasslands is the first book in a new series written by karen traviss and follows ghosts of onyx directly. and of course halo evolutions is a collection of halo stories and poems by various authors.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

So, how do you pronounce Yprin Yprikushma?

The Didact is mean :( I now have a different view on Forerunners.

he isn't mean. Read both books before making any type of judgement. Not to mention you are going to have to read them 3-5 times to really get everything.

I'm in the middle of reading it. And my first impression was he is mean.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

I pronounced Ancilla as 'an-chill-ah' in my head as I read it? Is that wrong? Probably, but it sounds best to me so that's how I read it as. I doubt I'll ever have to say it out loud so it doesn't really matter.

As for the book, I really enjoyed both books in the Forerunner Saga so far.

I'm enjoying it so far, I'm at the part when The Didact, Born and the humans left the first planet they landed on.
