Hard light: Difference between revisions

Hard light was used extensively by the Forerunners for a great variety of purposes. Forerunner control panels and interfaces are almost always made entirely of hard light, and can react to the touch of a Forerunner or [[human]] despite their utter lack of mechanical components. [[Light bridge]]s are another basic application of hard light; these bridges are strong enough to bear the load of heavy objects such as a [[Scorpion]] tank, yet can be switched on or off as easily as a normal beam of light. Some of the larger [[Bridge (structure)|conventional bridges]] constructed by the Forerunners also feature support cables made of hard light.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[Assault on the Control Room (level)|Assault on the Control Room]]''</ref> Hard light is also used in the locking mechanisms of Forerunner [[door]]s.<ref name="wages">'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]] Volume II''', ''"[[Wages of Sin]]"'', ''page 291''</ref>
