1.) How many Halo rings have had outbreaks? 2.) Why didn't all Forerunners save themselves in a Cryptum like the Didact? 3.) What started the rebellions against the UNSC?

  • 1. Three 2. The firing of the array was a last minute decision, and would require a massive amount of coordination, which they lacked due to slipspace and the domain being overloaded. Right before the activation, they received thousands of cries from help which would go unheeded. 3. Political power in the UEG lied with Earth and the Inner Colonies. The Outer Colonies essentially could not govern their own worlds. Not just that, but they repeatedly got the short end of the stick.

  • Alright last question. Is the covenant as we know disbanded? And if so are all the prophets dead?

  • It appears so, yes. They're not dead yet,but they are incredibly close to extinction. There have been sightings throughout the Orion Complex of Prophets.

    I hate asking so many questions but damn it I need to get caught up. Were the clones used to replace the kidnapped Future Spartans healthy? Has the UNSC Terraformed Reach and/or other glassed planets? Are the Marines the only military branch of the UNSC? How did the humans stop the flood? And how'd we end up getting devolved? Are the Spartan IV's better than the Spartan 3's or 2's?

  • [quote]I hate asking so many questions but damn it I need to get caught up.[/quote]But I love answering them! [quote]Were the clones used to replace the kidnapped Future Spartans healthy?[/quote]I don't understand the question... [quote]Has the UNSC Terraformed Reach and/or other glassed planets?[/quote]By 2553, the UNSC had sent in assesment groups to Epsilon Eridani to determine possible terraforming options for Reach. Eridanus II appears to have been terraformed to some extent since it was listed as a destination on the Nova-Austin Space Elevator flight schedule. [quote]Are the Marines the only military branch of the UNSC?[/quote][url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LBERTFMcSFgPxucxxn4_OIqn0aY0wBC3J4c7rKgHGuc/edit?usp=sharing]No[/url] [quote]How did the humans stop the flood? And how'd we end up getting devolved?[/quote]We sacrificed a a third of our population to the Flood with genes that would be destructive to them. In reality, the Flood saw how far we were willing to go to protect life that they backed off and retreated. We were devolved as punishment for our involvement in the human-Forerunner wars. The original punishment was extinction. [quote]Are the Spartan IV's better than the Spartan 3's or 2's?[/quote]With MJOLNIR, SIVs are equal to SIIs. However, without MJOLNIR on, SIVs are one of the weakest SPARTAN programs.

  • Less severe augmentations. MJOLNIR tech has gotten better to compensate for the lack of thereof.

    What I'm asking is if the clones that replaced kidnapped children involved in the spartan program just like the original kids or if they died young or had disabilities. Last set of questions: I swear 1.) Did the UNSC ever use covenant tech in any way besides active camo? 2.) Are there any diseases or conditions that aren't curable? 3.) In the genetic modification done to the Spartans, what was the factor that determined if they would survive the operations and enhancers or not? 4.) What are the Brutes currently up to? 5.) How many instillation a have been found and studied by the UNSC? 6.) Has ONI done any other shady programs besides the Spartan program? 7.) What's you're favorite Halo Campaign?

  • [quote]What I'm asking is if the clones that replaced kidnapped children involved in the spartan program just like the original kids or if they died young or had disabilities.[/quote]They died young due to genetic breakdown causing diseases. [quote]1.) Did the UNSC ever use covenant tech in any way besides active camo?[/quote]Yes, hologram tech, energy barrier tech, and energy shields. [quote]2.) Are there any diseases or conditions that aren't curable?[/quote]Flood infection. [quote]3.) In the genetic modification done to the Spartans, what was the factor that determined if they would survive the operations and enhancers or not?[/quote]Their genetic make up. They didn't modify the genes, they augmented their bodies. [quote]4.) What are the Brutes currently up to?[/quote]Raiding Elite territory and starting to show signs of infighting. [quote]5.) How many instillation a have been found and studied by the UNSC?[/quote]I01 - Hidden I02 - Hidden I03 - Found; studied by Ivanoff Station I04 - Found; destroyed I05 - Found; surface area glassed; studied by Lisbon Station I06 - Hidden I07 - Found by Sangheili forces. Surface cauterized and cleared of Flood infestation. [quote]6.) Has ONI done any other shady programs besides the Spartan program?[/quote]Dismantling other intelligence agencies, subverting the UNSC chain of command, Flood biological research, destabilization of Sangheili, excessive spying and monitoring. (Dunno if you think this is shady, but I think it's so shady that it's just plain impressive. ONI operatives have infiltrated High Charity before.) [quote]7.) What's you're favorite Halo Campaign?[/quote]Overall? Halo CE Story is a tie between CE, Halo 2, and Halo 4.

  • Remember the other installations as well - I4b - Destroyed IO - presumed destroyed with the detonation of I4b The greater ark - hidden.

  • 04B's period of existence and interaction was so short that I found it acceptable to omit it from my list. The Lesser Ark is still intact, albeit large portions of its surface are cauterized and its climate control systems aren't functioning properly anymore, leading to the Ark being incredibly dangerous, with its current state having already killed almost every human that has tried to explore it. The Greater Ark was outside the Milky Way, however it is destroyed. Precursor star roads obliterated it.
