Title: SGP: Trail of lights in Sector 6.
Post by: Apollo Doom on October 19, 2009, 17:31:43

I was searching for the next of Engima's stone plinths today and came across something interesting in S06.  There seems to be a trail of the motion activating lights linking the wrecked Oliphant in the center of the plaza with the alley with slaughtered Elites.  The trail could be going either way but I'm pretty sure those are the two end points.  The Oliphant is surrounded by 3 lights and but the Elite alley has only 1.

I must also say that this part of S06 is without power and one of the darkest areas of the game.

I don't have time to crop and enhance them now, but here's raw screens going from the alley to the Oliphant:

SIDE NOTE THAT COVENANT CONTAINER ON THE FAR RIGHT TO TE LEFT OF THE "Y", HAS ANOTHER "Y" GLYPH UNDER IT. I HAVE ALSO JUMPED TO THAT FIRST LEDGE, NOTHING UP THERE.

KINDA WONDER IF WE DO FIND THAT THIRD STONE WILL IT CHANGE SOMETHING HERE? SQUIDEHENGE DOES CONNECT TO THIS AREA...

I HAVE SPENT SOME TIME IN THIS AREA. HAD A HUNTER CHASE ME TO THE HENGE SO I COULD KILL EM. ( WHILE YOU WERE IN THIS AREA.WATCH THIS IN THEATER MODE, GO INTO MONITOR MODE AND GO TO WERE THE HUNTERS ARE.)

I was just this day in that area when I was hunting the Audio Logs. It's reeeeal dark there, and I just could possibly hide the 3rd piece in some dark corner in an even darker room.
Perhaps the Olifant is connected to the one in Sadie's story? Maybe?

 :police: Officer Sam says turn off caps cruise control.  

I also think this would be an ideal place to search for a 3rd stone, more missions us tonight!

Officer ColdGlider says "Why in name of Dare's Pajamaz was this posted in Arkive?"

Because I have a hard time disconnecting topics from each other and think everything is related.  So sometimes thing's go where they ought not.

Actually, it looks like I was the one in the wrong.  The topic has been moved back to Arkive!  I suppose the fact that you posted four screenshots is the cause.  Please forgive my Dare Swear.  I answer to a higher authority, it seems...

Hmmm... i think this deserves more searching. maybe the marines took cover in the oliphant?

also, i think the lights are forerunner. because they are on the ark.

D: guess i cant post... so ok, there covenant and not forerunner. Now here is the question: Are Stonehenges forerunner?

No they are covenant. Look with a scope and they are comprised of a mix of old and new covenant glyphs.

KIC Protocol Enacted: posts deleted.

I agree that the lights are covenant, based on the Covenant glyphs.  They would logically have been found on the Ark because the Covenant landed there before the UNSC.
