Could the big hologram on Epitaph be Offensive Bias instead of Mendicant?
The Forerunners would not have wanted to honor Mendicant in any way, so why would they build a tomb or write an epitaph for him? Instead, I think that Epitaph could be a monument for Offensive Bias who they created to combat Mendicant Bias and Gravemind. They constructed the building that Epitaph is at the top of to honor/store Offensive Bias which would have been seen as a savior of sorts. This may have already been thought of, but all I see is "Oh, Epitaph is Mendicant Bias's tomb! Let's go find the tomb everyone!" so I thought this would be fresh.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sizzled Chicken [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mark537 There were no Forerunners after the war. They were killed by the array supposedly. I really don't think OB would spend time creating a memorial for him self. That seems a bit cocky.[/quote]I refuse to believe that until something in a game or a book outright says it. There's so many ways the Forerunners, even if it was just a handful, could have survived it that I refuse to believe that they all just said "Let's go off the Shield World/Ark and look at the pretty lights!". And so far nothing in either one of those has said it out right. They speculate what happened, but no one knows. What happened to the Forerunners is a big mystery to everyone.[/quote] Offensive Bias itself said that there would be no more Forerunner after the Halo arrays fired. From Terminal 6 Legendary: [quote][12:H 20:M 00:S] I begin this report with no illusions that it will ever be seen by its intended readers. In all likelihood they have already committed [species-wide suicide] with the goal of preserving biological diversity in this galaxy. I must ensure that this information reaches those who must come after. If I fail in this, how can they not regard my creators' sacrifice as anything by [a crime without measure]?[/quote]
