I don't see why whatever is going to take place on Requiem couldn't just as well have happened [i]in[/i] Onyx.[/quote] Mendicant Bias sends John to the Forerunners at the end of Halo 3; at the end of Ghosts of Onyx, Halsey scans the Onyx Dyson Sphere and states that there are no Forerunners present.[/quote]That's not exactly what happened, Fred asked Halsey why the Forerunners weren't there, she said she didn't know. Halsey did not scan the surface the size of a small solar system. Not in TGoO anyway. She made an analysis based on the spectroscopic value of the sun and readings from Linda's scope, to find out where they were, and eventually, how big the MDS was. I bet one can stand days at certain spots on Requiem without seeing any Forerunner, especially if they are in [i]Crypum[/i] or something similar. The same would go for Onyx. Sure, I guess one can [i]interpret[/i] that there actually aren't any Forerunner there, but nothing says there aren't. EDIT: oh, and if she scaned it for life-forms, she would have noticed that there were Huragok there... (Glasslands). [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] grey101 It wasn't ignored it was brought up in reach though Karen is ignoring elements though. requiem is a type of prison Onyx was a get away.[/quote]It was brought up by Karen in order to close that particular arc, and move the characters [i]trapped [/i]within to [i]another story[/i]. Onyx could just as well have been a/the prison. [quote][/quote]When it comes to the [i]destruction[/i] of Installation 00, all I will say is: [b]exploding scaffolding[/b]...
