In past Halo 3 on the ARC and on the Rings, the Master controls were only activated by Forerunners and their Inheritors, Humans.
Remember, Guilty Spark Monitor of Installation 04 stated to the Master Chief Spartan 117; “you are Forerunner, Inheritor of all…”
In the Spartan Ops weekly videos the same is true, Major devices require a “human” touch, as Dr Halsey recently stated.
Question: In halo 4 spartan ops, how is it that the covenant were able to active Requiem to explode??
If only forerunners and inheritors can activate major forerunner devices; then how is it that an Elite was able to active Requiem to explode??
