*The crystal may have been a [[slipspace flake]] used in Forerunner slipspace drives, as it generated a "smoothing" effect in slipspace<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 295'' (2003)</ref> and enabled ships to travel much faster in the transdimensional domain—both known properties of Forerunner slipspace flakes. The crystal's acausal behavior—manipulating relative world lines to enable its own recovery to occur—also bears a marked conceptual similarity to the nature of [[reconciliation|space-time reconciliation]] introduced in ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]''. However, the flakes were a normal part of Forerunner slipspace drives and the artifact's placement in the center of an enormous arena appears to suggest this particular crystal had more significance to its creators than an ordinary drive component.

*The way the artifact warped space around it when first approached resembles the Forerunner camouflaging systems known as a [[baffler]] introduced in ''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''. However, in ''First Strike'', Dr. Halsey believes it was the crystal itself, not a separate technology, that generated the distortion.<ref name="fs204"/>
