Tablets 5 and 6
Posted By: Interactive Civilian <mamoru@gmail.com>Date: 1/26/05 11:35 p.m.

In Response To: Thoughts and conclusions (dude1)

: Tablet 5: Obviously, the covenant ‘conquered every corner of the galaxy’.
: Hulks, grunts, jackals, brutes, drones, hunters – six slave races, six
: conquered planets?

: One circle has no identifier. Weird.

I kind of took Tablet 5 to be the beginning of the Myth of the Great Journey and the discovery of the Halos (not their actual locations, but their existence). This would seem to follow quite well after the discovery of Forerunner technology. This might explain why the rings are holy objects even without being discovered (I haven't read the books yet, so from the Games I am under the impression that the Covenant did not know the location of any of the Halos until the first game...though i could be wrong), which explains the ring holograms on the Prophet's head pieces.

Of course, there are only 6 circles/rings on the 5th tablet, one of which is unlabled, rather than 7.

For some reason, I took the 6th tablet to be the idea of the Great Journey itself (and in reality, the firing of the Halos). The main circle is a Halo, the "eye" is the energy build-up, and then all of the lines coming out are the blast.
