I recall that someone at 343i mentioned that Gek had an interesting backstory set for Spartan Ops but it got cut in the end.

Query Answer: Accessible Human [frumentarii] records contain [information extraction] records for [macto cognatus] Gek 'Lhar at [eyes] facility Midnight in connection with [terrorist] attack on Erde-Tyrene population center [December, 2557]. Inferred link to multiple fatalities and elevated threat condition at facility Midnight [February, 2558]. Further information contained in currently inaccessible cores.

Je me rappelle que quelqu'un à 343i a mentionné que Gek avait une histoire intéressante devant être présente dans le Spartan Ops mais que cela a été coupé.

Réponse à la requête : Les documents [frumentarii] humains accessibles contiennent [extraction d'informations] des enregistrements concernant le [macto cognatus] Gek 'Lhar dans les [yeux] du complexe Midnight en rapport avec une attaque [terroriste] sur des centres de population d'Erdé-Tyrène [décembre 2557].

What was the sentient race(s) responsible for the vessel that crash-landed on Installation 04 thousands of years before the UNSC and Covenant arrived in 2552 AD?

Query Answer: Analysis of [surface detail] data recovered at [alpha site] Terminals is inconclusive. Hull pattern is analogous to 7 client species designs in [forensic database]: [scan] of vessel remains and/or propulsion signature data required for further evaluation.

Plus, the mystery ship is purple with green lights, very similar to Covenant tech- particularly the ancient ships shown on the cover of Halo: Broken Circle.

Query Answer: Hue of hull plating is not diagnostic.

What can you tell us about the operational status of the Covenant Assault Carrier Shadow of Intent as of March 2558?

Query Answer: Human naval and [frumentarii] records indicate [Covenant] [destroyer] Shadow of Intent as a priority intelligence target. Records indicate repair and refit of vessel at mobile shipyard in [records inaccessible] system [December 30, 2552]. Deployed to Erde-Tyrene [February 29 - March 3, 2553] for diplomatic mission. No record of vessel and associated support vessels from [March 6, 2553 - August 24, 2553] - [frumentarii] [signals analysis] infers deployment to [provinces] to [search and assess] after return of [Covenant] long-range exploratory fleets. Deployed in internecine conflicts in [CE-80-9012] [ref: Urs] system and [topologically proximate] transit points from [May 24, 2553 - April 15, 2554]. Rendered [combat ineffective] during fleet action against [Covenant] [faction] forces [ref: Jul 'Mdama] in [records inaccessible] system on [April 22, 2554]. No record of vessel from [April 22, 2554 - November 6, 2556] - Human naval [chatter] reference vessel several times in [onion] encrypted communications not accessible to full [frumentarii] analysis - inferred activity against [servus ferrox] fleet elements in [macto cognatus] core [sphere]. Vessel appeared with previously unidentified logistical support craft [November 6, 2556] in [Urs] system to pacify [faction] forces. Vessel left [Urs] system [February 2, 2557] on diplomatic mission to [Covenant] [sphere]. Participated in [exercitatio] with Human naval elements [May 6, 2557 - June 1, 2557] against [latrones] in mixed zone of control [ref: Joint Occupation Zone] - [frumentarii] threat dynamic analysis noted significant improvement in the vessels [dynamic capabilities] and alterations to [nanolaminate] hull plating. Analysis of detritus collected after [exercitatio] purged from [frumentarii] low-echelon secure networks and forwarded to priority [cores]. Vessel dispatched with support fleet [June 1, 2557 - March 3, 2558] to protect [macto cognatus] core [sphere]. Recent [frumentarii] records [naufragum] of three [speculatoria navigia] tasked to monitor vessel's fleet activities. Losses not reported to Human naval authorities.

Query Answer: Parasite containment and control protocols do not preclude incidental contamination.

Query: How does the entity known as the United Nations (which is still seemingly extant according to certain records) relate to the Unified Earth Government? What is the UN's official function in the 26th century?

Query Answer: Human records indicate that the assembly (ref: United Nations) is a vestigial organization responsible for adjudication of administrative tasks between territorial sectors on Erde-Tyrene.

Query: As of 2558, has the UNSC yet relinquished its emergency power to the civilian government?

Query Answer: Human records indicate transition to noncombatant administrative control [ref: UEG] [January 8, 2553]. No notable adjustment in military [bureaucratic tactical] behavior and scope of authority.

Query: What is the ideal human lifespan in the 26th century? That is, provided steady access to medical treatments and discounting the obvious distortion of statistics caused by deaths in the war.

Query Answer: Significant distortion of Human population structure cannot be discounted at present. Integration of new [life augmentation] technologies will further distort analysis required to generate [life table]. Request for detailed analysis of Human biological [robustness] forwarded to [index technician].

Query: How does the anarchic rank structure of the UNSC military branch known as "Spartans" work in relation to the UNSC's other military branches?

Query: What is the nature and extent of Forerunner construction on Edom as of 2558? Are elements of the UNSC aware of said artifacts?

Query Answer: [cyberintrusion] of Human [frumentarii] cores will determine extent of [trespass].

Query: What is the nature of the transference of a Forerunner's or ancilla's consciousness into the Domain upon death? Is it enabled by technologies (e.g. Forerunner armor, Durances) or does it happen to all Forerunners by virtue of an inherent link with the Domain? How does the Durance-stored essence relate to this -- i.e. does the Durance enable the mind-state's connection to the Domain or are the essences in the Domain and the one in the Durance separate?

Query Answer: Information on specifics of Domain [interlink] is the purview of Haruspis.

Query: Why was the explorer ship Audacity's voyage to Path Kethona considered so incredibly reconciliation-costly when said voyage involved far less mass transit over a shorter distance than the construction of both Ark installations as well as the transport of multiple resource-planetoids to the Arks?

Query Answer: Reconciliation costs scale non-linearly with discrepancy in [information] transfer between locations and [brane] tension. Vessel mass is primarily a consideration with [slip stream space] transit energy requirements and [buffer] generation.

Query: What is the status of the Juridical network? Still having issues with that logic plague code?

Query: why won't you answer our Query?

Query Answer: High-priority tasks preempt processing of any secondary queries.

Background processing of queries continues, with next [data drop] scheduled in approximately [72 hours]. Due to extensive backlog of secondary queries, answers will be selective.

Current date in the Halo Universe Relative to the Catalog 17th March 2558

Clarification: Current date does not advance in [lockstep] with Erde-Tyrene solar days.

Query:How is genetic diversity ensured in the females of the Kig-Yar species if fertilizer eggs become males and not females?

Source citation required for additional research.

Query:What is the current status of Maker-of-Moons [priority]?

Query Answer: Archived Secunda [provincial police magistrates] records indicate active cases regarding [ERR, REGRESS][data integrity failure]. Status updated by Builder authorities to [high probability KIA] in [Uthera Midgeerrd] system. Potential recovery options excluded due to [sector] designation: Burn.

Query:What is the name of the third Kig-Yar subspecies, the others being T'vao Kig-Yar and Ibie'sh Kig-Yar?

Query Answer: Human [Lifeworker] authorities have yet to establish a definitive organizational classification to the major phenotypes of Kig-Yar. A full [bioinformatic] indexing is required to assess specifics of fertility among populations.

Trinomen would presumably be related to geospatial [loci] of populations as they originated on [Eayn]: Ruuht, T’vao, and Ibie’sh.

Query:Can you clarify if 27 years in your response to Sangheili life span were Earth/Sanghelios years?

Query Answer: Life expectancy from [hatching] recorded as 27 [years] at time of index. Query answers are in [collections] of Erde-Tyrene solar days.

Query:Do Unggoy in Jul 'Mdama's covenant remnant belong to a certain subspecies or are they genetically bred?

Query Answer: Human [Lifeworker] records found in accessible [frumentarii] cores do not indicate extensive [genecraft] modifications by [Covenant] [Lifeworkers]. Rudimentary [forensic] analysis of indexed [monachus frigus] geneplan records and [epigenetic] studies recorded by Human [Lifeworkers] show anomalous phenotypic plasticity, in addition to conclusive evidence of strong genetic structure in selected [Covenant] combatants known to be sourced from specific [breeding] zones. This indicates either prolonged genetic drift in refugia populations or induced selection.

Query:There appears to be conflicting info as to where first contact between Lekgolo and the Covenant occurred, with some sources stating it was Te while others stating it was an unnamed gas giant. Can you clarify that?[priority]

Query Answer: First contact with Hunters was on [Rentus], a moon of the gas-giant [Te] in [784 BCE]. [ref: Halo Encyclopedia, p. 30].

Query: Can monitors of their own installation be rebuilt by said installation properties as a fail safe?

Query Answer: Monitor constructs are authorized to use all extant [refurbishing] equipment at their assigned site. Construction of new or replacement Monitors is prohibited without express authority and oversight of fleet command.

Query Answer: [frumentarii] records indicate queried individual maintains a [command and control] role in Human [exploratii] security forces.

Query: What mechanism caused Epoloch to implode so violently during Requiem's fall into said native star?

Query Answer: Analysis of stellar dynamics is outside Catalog's purview. However, preliminary forensic analysis results are consistent with total failure of [plasma shell maintenance] systems and failsafe implementation of parasite containment protocols at Warrior-Servant [castra].

Do all Catalog units have a separate extension by which they may be called? This is referring to "X.E8" we have seen in your previous communications.

Clarification: X.E8 indicates local terminal node access. Human personnel are not permitted access to [interlink] systems.

Query: Are the Hesduros Sangheili a different subspecies to that of the natives of Sanghelios? Considering the marked differences in appeareance

Query Answer: [macto cognatus] display a range of phenotypic variation. Human [Lifeworker] [population genetics] analysis does not indicate evidence of reproductive isolation in extant colonies or anomalous genetic structure within populations.

Query: When did the UNSC begin reterraforming Reach following its glassing in 2552?

Query Answer: Human records indicate that [pioneer group] units arrived on [Epsilon Eridani II] in November, 2553 for initial [search and assess] and [megaengineering scoping].

Yeah because Catalog will spoil Escalation's story for us. :')

Clarification: Incorrect.

Query: Was the station encountered by INF-101 UNSC Infinity under control of the new colonial alliance and Vata Gajats group used at a prior point by the Covenant empire?

Query: What company was Spartan-III commando Rosenda-344 a part of (again, Alpha, Beta, or Gamma)?

Query Answer: Alpha.

Query: Is Ruuht the largest continent of Eayn?

Query Answer: Statements of [perosus latrunculus] authorities recorded in Human records offer divergent opinions as to the hierarchy of land mass [footprint] on [Eayn]. [pseudo-governments] with administrative control of the supercontinents Ruuht and Ah'lomet contest islands and other [debris] which would elevate their [ranking].

Catalog, what is the music scene on Earth[Erde Tyrene] like as of 2558?

Query Answer: Catalog does not associate Human [discordant shouts] with any recognizable analogue of Forerunner [harmonies].

Query: Is there any Flood left on Installation 07 as of 2558 or has its significance been erased forever?

Query Answer: Records provided to Human naval authorities by allied [macto cognatus] indicate implementation of adequate containment and sterilization protocols within infected zone. Human and allied [macto cognatus] [search and assess] groups continue monitoring and remediation efforts at [site]. Warning! [site] status request requires elevated command authority.

Query: In Halo: Escalation #8, Blue team is seen wearing MJOLNIR armour resembling the custom upgrades used by John-117. What is the reason for this change?

Query Answer: Available information indicates [praetorian] Human [exploratii] units have priority access to incremental [combat skin] updates.

Query: What is the current status of Rtas 'Vadum as of 2558?

Sorry if this is already on here, but I caught a glimpse of a few things saying that ONI knew about The Flood before the events of Halo: CE. Could someone please verify this?

Query Answer: Initial [cyberintrusion] evidence suggests relevant [Covenant] and Forerunner directives copied to [frumentarii] cores before parasite outbreak in [2552]. However, threat dynamic analysis shows Human security forces did not widely implement minimal acceptable suite of parasite containment protocols until evaluation of Reclaimer [alpha site] combat data in [2553].

I was curious about this for a while, but does anyone know which are the six Spartans (besides Jerome - 092, Alice - 130, and Douglas - 042 ) who make up Spartan Red Team Omega in Halo Wars? Does it ever tell us? I know that they have to have names, I just do not know if we know them or not. Thanks in advance. :)

Query Answer: Naval and [frumentarii] records identify six [exploratores] in Omega Team, three [exploratores] in Red Team. Personally identifying information is currently not accessible due to pending inquiry into events at [conservation sphere] 0459.

It's a Promethean artifact in 2552, but the Prometheans don't show up till '57. Or at least that's how I understood it.

Promethean combat platforms are not noted in human records prior to encounter at [castra] Requiem.

For clarification: Human records indicate [Waypoint] facility was heavily damaged, not destroyed. Contrary [temporary] records will be updated.

A small selection of useful contemporary resources related to the topic of superluminal transit:

For clarification and edification:
All UNSC and Covenant vessels make extensive use of [repulsors-lifters] inside of gravity well [lattices], which can be operated in a [traction caterpillar] mode to generate limited amounts of [pseudothrust]. Inefficient [cylic gravity] plates with short-range [effector fields] are also utilized by Covenant ground vehicles.

This is a rudimentary technology [bridge] to refined application of [twist-torsion] impulse plates for [high-thrust] travel usable outside of the supporting [lattice] of a planet's gravity well. Though recent human vessels make some use of this [art], based on [copy-of-copy] designs utilized by the Covenant, standard propulsion systems use a form of [inertial-electrostatic-fusion] [torch] drive that is quite [ingenious-clever-lucky] in its application of high-order [manifolds] to mitigate energetic [backblast].

[Serendipitous] or [pleasing] patterns are often represented at different scales and locales, based on the tastes of the [pattern weaver] or as a result of [semi-stochastic] initial conditions inherent in the chosen template.

The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) and various non-augmented special forces units remain active as of 2558. User Grizzlei's analysis of the their role and operational niche is accurate.

The Covenant vessels seen in this War Games map set are contemporary designs within a historical scenario.

For clarity: All War Game scenarios are combat simulations that take place within the UNSC Infinity. Many such map sets are based on actual locales - either reconstructed from fragmentary records (as in the case of the specific layout of the Undiminished Entelechy and deployment/composition of Thel 'Vadamee's Fleet of Particular Justice) or built from remotely sensed and on-site survey data for mission preparation and familiarization. Specific implementation of artistic [touches] is at the discretion of the simulation designers and [narrative] builders.

Since I just saw you in a thread I have 3 questions that maybe you could answer?

1. What are the ships seen in truth?
2. Where is the main menu take place (ship, station, etc....)?
3. Is the multiplayer the same concept of halo 4 (war games)

1. This query is answered in more depth within a separate thread.
2. Layout of environment is closely correlated with last known [symphony] of War Games environments aboard the UNSC Infinity.
3. Correct.

Fully answering this question would require too many resources at present.

For partial clarification and edification: Human [Mjolnir] combat skin platforms require extensive design and simulation refinement before being placed in production, due to the difficulty and time required for the [texo] of their [exotic composite] [lorica] shell, construction and integration of the compact [sun-star] power plant, and [alternate foundation] computing architecture. True costs to the human military was less the [transactional system units] assigned for [checkbook accounting] and more the loss of scientific personnel utilization, [precious-limited] manufacturing time at intact [high tier] [fabricae], and [mass-volume] of exotic materials required for each [bespoke] combat skin.

The Fist of Rukt as a special weapon (like the Prophets' Bane) is a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. But I think it's a bit unlikely, though I wouldn't mind being wrong. Also, I find it odd that Waypoint articles often end in "we don't know the current status of this or that". I mean, it's not a wiki, it's 343i themselves. You'd think they would be more daring. But I suppose it's better than "killing off" characters like Catalog used to do.

I take no joy in relaying information that shatters potential [hopes and dreams] or corrects [improper] inference by third parties.For example, while [exploratores] Dunn, Hong, and Jones of [fireteam] Bailey in fact survived their deployment during the [Ealen IV] [gathering of foes under banner of friends], Spartans Newman and To of [fireteam] Jackknife were [bad tidings] killed by [latro] Scruggs.The balance of confirmed dead to newly confirmed living [exploratores] in this data drop is -2 to +3, for a net of +1 lives saved.

Confirmed and identified dead are Newman, To, Scruggs. Scruggs was not given the [honor] of being presented at funeral. Other four [deceased?] Spartan identities have not been made available for release, and thus accessible to initial [cyberintrusion] of [frumentarii] records.Inconsistency noted in record [Escalation #3] with sixth coffin missing Spartan [logo-vexillum].

Detailed information on Jiralhanae personal naming practices is currently held in inaccessible cores. However, the suffix "-um" is only recorded for those personnel affiliated with the Rh'tol skein.

Perhaps you can correct that nonsense about the Ur-Didact's epilogue speech being before Halo 4, as well as Saber's fate, eh Catalog? ;)

Shadow-of-Sundered-Star's speech proved to be more complex than was immediately apparent, touching on [skeins] that [never were]. It is [suasoria].

Grim. I really love that Red Banshee. Its pretty cool if you ask me. Maybe we will get a lore explaination for it being red. Much like how the Heretic Banshees are different lore wise to the regular Banshees. ^^

I think it was explained."For training purposes, these Bosses are identified by specific colorations within Warzone to indicate their threat level."

Correct.

Query Answer: Human records indicate [loci in question?] [exploratii] combat skins follow [spiral development] path.
