Okay.

What I want to know is where the design for the Halo rings came from.

We know they were designed by Faber, the Master Builder. Yes. This is known.

But what served as the catalyst for that design process?

Putting aside the discovery of the Flood I mean.

I love that from the start, 343 through Blur hinted at the Halo stored in the Ark’s central forges. If you look closely at the opening shots of the Ark, you can make it out barely.

Well done 343 and Blur for this beautiful game.

“And now the Ark’s defenses stir, sensing the shadow of a threat that moves in spaces Her eyes cannot see, intent on seizing the great factory of the Forerunners.”

I wonder if there are any other prototype Halo installations.

Aside from the one in Shadow of Intent.

I’m sure there must be a few. At least.

The novella and possibly the forerunner trilogy inferred this much.

I wonder what they’d be like.

Perhaps smaller, partially broken or unfinished?, maybe even more akin to the prototype ring seen in the 1999-era build of the first Halo game. That’s what I’d imagine.

Maybe the Order of Restoration would try seizing the others if they still remain.

Idk.
