New Alexandria is District 6
« on: June 24, 2011, 02:19:20 »
     Mouths watering yet? The whole point of this investigation is in the title, but before I create a mess of exploded brains plastered to your lovely home's walls, let's start at the beginning.
     On Monday, I was lazily flying around New Alexandria, half hoping I would find an Invemy on my own. Ridding myself of such a ridiculous notion, I did what I usually do when on my own in that level; land on the top of random buildings. While doing this, I happened to catch Olympus Tower, aka the ONI building at just the right angle, so that I recognized this outline:




     I saw Olympus Tower as a plinth. My next realization was that there are six skyscrapers surrounding the base of the Tower. Four can be seen in the above image, with the two buildings with landing platforms on top making five and six. So where does this lead? Bungie has told us that the Plinths should be in Squidhenge (more definitive proof later), but we need some sort of orientation. So I used the maps in ODST's POGG and Reach's LEG to look for more links, and I have found them.






The annotations should be easy to understand. Also, the six buildings don't look so far away from each other in game. I have attached the NA map to this post for future use. My next step will be to add the various switches from NA to the map, and see if they correspond with anything in District 6.

ODST is all about switches, isn't it?

I find it interesting how Club Errera and Crater are near each other.

Just my thought.

I find it interesting how earth and reach are the same planet apparently

Something that will probably only make sense to me: Club Errara's colors are orangey yellow, and so is the brute's armor that is in the sunken plaza with the Engies.

This shows how long I've been away from ODST :P I'll fix it.

This means your theory is, sadly, invalid, because you are comparing NA to D04, which has nothing to do with the Squidhenge and therefore the Plinths (that you said Bungie said were supposed to be in the Squidhenge [WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY SOURCE]).

:(

Pulse, please by optimistic.

The henge he is talking about is supposed to be a mirror of the squidhenge. It doesn't have squid in it, but it should have Henges. Even though it doesn't. Due to Bungie trying to be cheap and tricking you into thinking that it's something different.

What Night is pointing out is that the ONI Tower seems to be a Plinth surrounded by Henges, something I think  every SGP member has done in ODST.
Also, the plinth can be brought into the "Henge" that night is talking about.

Someone correct me if I don't understand what's going on.

Yes, Pulse, I got the wrong district number. I recognize the districts better by sight than by name. Because not everyone thinks like I do, I did my best to bring everyone onto the same page.
