"Sometimes life gives you lemons, and then you have to say 'f**k the lemons' and bail."

If you're reading this, you need to stop stalking me. If you can't stop stalking me, you might as well go here.

I'm bored and giving the Halo CEA terminals another look, and I have a few questions. (I'm only about half way through as I'm typing this, so feel free to point out anything that's addressed later.)

- Why does Guilty Spark threaten to open fire on the Pillar of Autumn, but the Covenant forces that beat the UNSC there supposedly slip by without altercation? Is this ever explained? Plot hole? Are we sure that humanity is the only race of reclaimers?

- Is the race of those that crash landed on Installation 04 ever revealed? Does anyone have an idea of when during 343's 100,000 year wait this happens?

Likely more to come.

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.

- 343GS says in the first terminal he deactivated the rings defensive's all together. I'd imagine they could single out and destroy the Covenant, but who knows what defenses the installation has. All we know is Sentinels and of the type. The Covenant Armada could have exterminated any opposing force, since these Sentinels can't combine like the Onyx ones to put up a fight.

- That I can recall, it is never said. Although they say it has the same atmosphere as the ring and but no life forms above. If I had to say, I'd say it was an Ancient Human warship that drifted and crash landed on the ring. 343 couldn't have known it was one since it was cut off from The Domain and had his geas removed long time ago. I think in the previous terminal it says how many years have passed, and that terminal ends with the urgent message of the crash landing or detection of this vessel.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

The crash happens 40,000 years after the fire.

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

The vessel appeared unmanned, so was perhaps simple a lone ship somewhere that was heading (unbeknownst to the passengers) towards Installation 04.

Firing the Array killed them, and the shipped finally arrived, empty of course, some time later.

Also... I feel I'm not the only Mythic in this thread.

CCC... COMBO BREAKER!

-He was warning the Pillar of Autumn, he probably warned the Covenant, too.
-Nobody knows.

And as for Timmie, I disagree about the Array having killed them, when in the 10th terminal, he says:

"10000 years blah blah... and 16 hours after I finally made contact, this so called re-claimer decides to blow it all up"

I have a question though. The ship crashed 343 even said it did. With the 1st teminl in Halo CEA it states the moitor shut down the defenses to let the Autumn closer. So how come the ship crashed, shouldn't of it been blown up before getting it?
