![]() ![]() This is really a ruse to catch the Xalanyn off guard. They go to the Xalanyn and offer help, offer a “parley” (as the audio log puts it). If they are allowed to gain complete mastery, they could do anything, they could become the new masters. The Forerunners learn of their technology and get very afraid. They would be disorientated to say the least. The Xalanyn, fresh from their time experiment appear in a brand new time (they had been gone a long time) and don’t know much about what has gone on. I think this as a race that had full control would be literally unbeatable, the ol’ Chicken and the kill baby -Yoink!- dilemma. ![]() Now I would suppose they only had limited ability, which is why I am calling it Time Manipulation, rather than Time Control (which would imply full mastery), and probably are unlikely to be able to go back in time. This would explain:ī) how they survived the Halos and the Flood,Ĭ) Why the forerunners would think they were so dangerous,ĭ) the time manipulation statements peppered through out the game. Through possible accident or intention they move their entire planet forward in time. At some point in the very distant past, pre-Foreunner (dominion at least) the Xalanyn developed Time Manipulation technology. Not only did they appear, and survive the Rings firing, but they even survived the Flood. As I said, the Forerunners at this point had had full dominion over the Milky Way, and so for a race to mysteriously appear is very unlikely. Where did they inexplicably come from? A whole Homeworld (Despondent Pyre is instructed to covertly move her ring into range, “just in case”). So, in the past the rings activate and wipe everything out, and then as the Forerunners are re-seeding they run into the Xalanyn. I think she even says something like “to you, armor is just a weapon” as one of her lines, maybe she is implying her suit serves a bigger purpose, time manipulation? Fighting the Harbinger, she ‘teleports’ around, but more than likely this is her time travel ability, she is pausing and moving, at least locally. Not complete manipulation, but have at least some ability. The Xalanyn have the ability to manipulate time. It is said the Forerunners feared the most “masters turned slave”, they feared losing their power, and in the Xalanyn they must of seen a threat in this regard. Understandably this confused and most probably concerned the remaining Forerunners. Not only survived, they were and advanced technological civilization that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, as the Forerunners had complete dominion over the Milky way (our galaxy). In the past the Halo rings activated, but inexplicably the Xalanyn survived. Now, through out the game and Audio logs, we have heard how the ‘dangerous’ the Xalanyn are, and how the Forerunners feared them, Cortana even says “Worse things here than the Flood”, implying that to the Forerunners at least the Xalanyn are a grave threat. They also mention in regards to the Xalanyn, “time become a construct that they could control.”, implying they have some technology to alter time. They have implied they are going to ‘help’ the Xalanyn, but instead have sent Offensive Bias/Forerunner fleet to destroy/trap the Xalanyn, presumably to be sent to the Silent Auditorium to be trapped into their Cylixs. They talk about the Endless/Xalanyn (the race Harbinger is). In the Legendary ending we also get a VO between a Forerunner and Despondent Pyre dated 99928 years before the events of Halo Infinite. These Cylix are different though, as they have a different symbol on them, different even to the Harbinger’s Cylix. He approaches and unlocks a room full of Cylix (the name for the cryopods/cryptum/prisons we have seen). We learn Atriox is alive (wow, who’d a thunk it). Chief jumps through the mysterious portal and arrives, safe, three days later amidst some of the ‘old’ ring like artifacts the Banished have been so interested in. ![]()
