''A new symbol in the center of the spiral appeared that hadn't been there a second ago... or perhaps it had been, but had lain just beneath the surface. It heated and became increasingly visible, a single triangle that glowed white.

''Warm white light raced along the spiral of symbols, then traced a path down the hallway and into the distance.''

''seams appeared at the central figure, dozens of lines that curved in a radial pattern -and then pulled away to reveal a corridor behind.''-----Taken from page 141 of the book ''First Strike''.

Doesn't this seem quite like the structure we all saw in the halo 3 trailer? The structure Was at the center of the spiral, and it Was beneath the surface. Although it was no triangle, it Did shine a bright white light. Seams Did appear at the structure, to reveal a corridor behind. I have no idea if this has something to do with the structure in the halo 3 trailer, or just plain speculation, but it sure has a lot of evidence to back it up.

Any thoughts or ideas???

The glowing light was blue and there wasn't any spiriling symbols.

I see no spirals or 'lines that curved in a radial pattern' in the trailer.

Thats the place where the subspace crystal was found on reach wasn't it? It's fore-runner probably but its not the ark surely.

Although it'd be nice to see reach in game seeing as its mentioned and its where the chief called home, but then again it has been "glassed"

The spiral is the whirlwind thingy in the air.

Just to make it clearer, the structure was beneath the ground. You can see the chief so much higher standing on that cliff. And I do not think that the chief was standing on some mountain looking down, but was at level ground looking Beneath the ground-----The land behind the chief does not slope down.

Hope it makes sense..

That's right. If you look you can see where the road ran into where new Mombassa used to be. The fleets referred to as the "excavation fleet" so they dug it up probably

MAYBE HE WAS STANDING ON A MESSA.Messas don't slope down. It's like an earthen wall. Besides, the Ark is located in a valley near Mombasa, were human life was said to derive from. The walls of this valley happend to go straight up.

Nah... they dug it up.

  • 05.26.2006 6:45 AM PDT

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

i haven't read first strike so i woudn't know
if there are any theories based on the fall of reach, that would be good

Great idea! I mean for all we know the MC has to go into that structure. He surely can't die so soon into the game and let's hope not at all. I would like my last shot to be fired from his guns to save everyone.

What most people think this shows is the MC dying but if this isn't the Ark firing which why would it 1/3 of the way through be firing than it is probably what you said. It isn't like we have a visual of any events on Reach so this may be what the event on Reach looked like.

Than the MC can go inside and whip people.

Lastly, the ground was dug up since it says an excavation crew discover something under the earths crust. Crust being the key word as crust mean outer flast surface or they would have said under the mountains or mesa. When it open the rock wall falls making a high ledge. It is quite obvious this object is from the looks of it 50-75 feet down. Plus straight across fromt the MC is where the road went before is was deleted during excavation.

I am just past the 1st chapter in Fall of Reach so now unlike others(not saying all) who read quickly I can pay closer attention to details.

which would explain why the ground crumbles when he stands still. Bungie did say the covenant were an excavation force

how can u guys say that it is a "mesa"! It is obviously a HOLE! I also noticed the coincidences with the book. I doubt that it has that much to do with it, but then again, why would they put that huge spiral thingy in the sky, aside from just making it look SWEET@!

Well yeah it has been "glassed" but im hoping there is a possiblity that someone could have escaped, maybe seconds before the bombardment started.

Okay so this thing is where the spartan's met Halsey in the books, is that what you're saying? The ONI OR UNI (can't remeber which it is) underground facility? Okay... Only one problem, Mt. Killamanjaro isn't on Reach like the underground facility. Look at a real good theory... It's in my sig.

Yes the hologram thing was at the ONI underground facility in Reach, but it does not necessarily mean that the structure must be on reach.

Thank you! I couldn't believe they tried calling it a mesa either... have you even SEEN a mesa? (in real life) Nothing like what was in the trailer... MC is standing at ground level, you can see the mountains in the background. I agree it is dug up, because there wouldn't be a valley perfectly shaped for that. One thing I wonder, though, where did they put all the dirt they dug up? ha ha

Maybe they piled up the dirt to form the mountain shaped mountains in the background!!
