Halo - Catalog ARG
Halo Waypoint User: [url=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_profile601146.aspx]Catalog[/url]
Recently, a user by the name of Catalog under the authority of 343i administration has begun posting in the Halo Universe Forums. Its answers are not only helpful, but reveal new lore info.
Its posts shall be stored here for record keeping.
[quote]Query Answer: Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey is the biological mother of Commander Miranda Keyes.
Query Answer: The purported "Assembly" is referenced in logs recovered by Spartan B-312 during combat operations on Reach. This organization appears to be a group of rogue AI constructs which have been observing and guiding humanity. The reliability of this information has been contested.
Query Answer: Processing request to bypass following information archives:
Halo: Glasslands
Halo: The Thursday War
Halo: Mortal Dictata
Permission denied.
Query Answer: If Locke Johnson persists for more than four hours, consult a medical professional.
Query Answer: Promethean Command Warship, designation Mantle's Approach.
Alert! Seed pattern not approved by Council authorities: provisional authorization given by Master Builder. Multiple configurations of Warship design noted in records. Pending Domain contact, model dimensions are provided for analogous hull pattern:
Height: 25.266 [units]
Width: 9.43 [units]
Length: 11.364 [units]
Preliminary analysis confirms that [UNSC Navy Threat Database] records [ref: Halo 4 Visual Guide, p. 193] reflect last known configuration of Mantle's Approach in local reference dimensions.
Query Answer: Alert! Unable to contact zone commanders. Unable to initiate Domain link.
Awaiting command authority to release threat dynamic report for Human combat skin variants[ref: MJOLNIR].
Query Answer: No known Tier 2 species matching suggested morphology [re: ursus sapiens].
