===Questions about Reach datapads and Flood===
Query Answer: The purported "[[The Assembly|Assembly]]" is referenced in [[Data pads|logs]] recovered by [[SPARTAN-B312|Spartan B-312]] during [[Fall of Reach|combat operations]] on [[Reach]]. This organization appears to be a group of rogue [[Artificial intelligence|AI constructs]] which have been observing and guiding [[human]]ity.

Temporary link established.

Meta-query response follows:

Due to the volume of queries and limited [cycles] that can be allocated to information retrieval and translation outside of core Juridical and archival functions, the following notes are provided to ensure low-latency and high-quality [customer service].

Queries that require extensive research and [sanitization] are, unfortunately, allocated to a lower priority. Additional requests for information can always be submitted to [{{Plain|[https://twitter.com/halo system Bravo]}}] for further review.

Query strings do not need to follow standardized forms. Catalog can understand idiomatic speech and many Human idiosyncrasies. However, phrasing requests in a standard form is useful in [thread topics] with many requests competing for attention.

Query strings do not need to attach priorities. However, these are useful in determining allocation of limited resources.

Catalog reviews as many queries as possible, but some topics have been deemed [restricted] or [compartmentalized] by standing Juridical protocols and can not be addressed at this time.

Catalog's answers are correct as of time of [publication], but users should be aware that reconciliation effects and integrity checks may alter specifics at a later time.

Primary allocation of spare [cycles] towards information retrieval is [Friday] and [Saturday]. Service interruptions may occur during times of heavy caseload.

'''Query:''' As of 2558, has the UNSC yet relinquished its emergency power to the civilian government?

:Query Answer: Human records indicate transition to noncombatant administrative control [ref: UEG] [January 8, 2553]. No notable adjustment in military [bureaucratic tactical] behavior and scope of authority.

'''Query:''' What is the ideal human lifespan in the 26th century? That is, provided steady access to medical treatments and discounting the obvious distortion of statistics caused by deaths in the war.

:Query Answer: Significant distortion of Human population structure cannot be discounted at present. Integration of new [life augmentation] technologies will further distort analysis required to generate [life table]. Request for detailed analysis of Human biological [robustness] forwarded to [index technician].

'''Query:''' How does the anarchic rank structure of the UNSC military branch known as "Spartans" work in relation to the UNSC's other military branches? What is the practical significance of the "SR" rank structure? Who comprises the functional leadership of the branch and who represents the Spartan branch in HIGHCOM and/or the UNSC Security Council? Does the Spartan branch answer to UNICOM or NAVCOM?

'''Query:''' Which one does the UNSC Air Force fall under; UNICOM or NAVCOM?

:Query Answer: Human [aerospace] assets allocated to Air Force control fall under terrestrial combatant command [ref: UNICOM].

'''Query:''' What is the technological basis of the FTL communication systems used by the present-day UNSC, pre- and post- Trevelyan Forerunner discoveries? Slipspace, quantum entanglement (as with the Forerunners), or some other, perhaps more esoteric technology?

:Query Answer: A technical architecture briefing of client species is currently under construction by [scriba].

'''Query:''' Does the de facto location of the star system known as Epsilon Indi coincide with 21st-century human observations of said system? I ask this because there is a discrepancy between the apparent distance to said system (Harvest being humanity's most distant colony) and early observational evidence of the system being only 11 light-years from Earth and thus only half a light-year further than one of the closest colonies, Reach.

:Query Answer: [slip stream space] transit records record liminal [sphere] colony [ref: Harvest] as furthest official Human colony. [slip stream space] topology is not consistent with [Euclidean] distance, but significant discrepancy is noted.

'''Query:''' What is the nature and extent of Forerunner construction on Edom as of 2558? Are elements of the UNSC aware of said artifacts?

:Query Answer: [cyberintrusion] of Human [frumentarii] cores will determine extent of [trespass].

'''Query:''' What is the nature of the transference of a Forerunner's or ancilla's consciousness into the Domain upon death? Is it enabled by technologies (e.g. Forerunner armor, Durances) or does it happen to all Forerunners by virtue of an inherent link with the Domain? How does the Durance-stored essence relate to this—i.e. does the Durance enable the mind-state's connection to the Domain or are the essences in the Domain and the one in the Durance separate?

:Query Answer: Information on specifics of Domain [interlink] is the purview of Haruspis.

'''Query:''' Why was the explorer ship Audacity's voyage to Path Kethona considered so incredibly reconciliation-costly when said voyage involved far less mass transit over a shorter distance than the construction of both Ark installations as well as the transport of multiple resource-planetoids to the Arks?

:Query Answer: Reconciliation costs scale non-linearly with discrepancy in [information] transfer between locations and [brane] tension. Vessel mass is primarily a consideration with [slip stream space] transit energy requirements and [buffer] generation.

'''Query:''' What is the status of the Juridical network? Still having issues with that logic plague code?

:Query Answer: Internal [documentation] of Juridical activities is not subject to external review.

:Query Answer: Human records indicate that [exploratore] Palmer was [rated] E-4 and placed for acceleration consideration for E-5 at time of transfer.

'''Query:''' Does the Covenant's native cruiser classification "Reverence" coincide with any of the UNSC's three-letter classifications (CRS, CCS, RCS, ORS)?

:Query Answer: [Covenant] naval classifications do not follow Human standards.

'''Query:''' Through what process did the fragment of the metarch-class ancilla Mendicant Bias end up on the keyship on the San'Shyuum homeworld? Why was the keyship left on the planet at all if there were live Forerunners to oversee the reseeding process?

:Query Answer: No [conservation lifeboats] were to be left on indexed planets. Human administrative records indicate archived [Covenant] records are currently being researched by Human and [macto cognatus] [librarian] team at [CE-80-9012 d].

'''Query''': What is the current status of Maker-of-Moons [priority]?

Query Answer: Archived Secunda [provincial police magistrates] records indicate active cases regarding [ERR, REGRESS][data integrity failure]. Status updated by Builder authorities to [high probability KIA] in [Uthera Midgeerrd] system. Potential recovery options excluded due to [sector] designation: Burn.

'''Query''': What is the name of the third Kig-Yar subspecies, the others being T'vao Kig-Yar and Ibie'sh Kig-Yar?

Query Answer: Human [Lifeworker] authorities have yet to establish a definitive organizational classification to the major phenotypes of Kig-Yar. A full [bioinformatic] indexing is required to assess specifics of fertility among populations.

Trinomen would presumably be related to geospatial [loci] of populations as they originated on [Eayn]: Ruuht, T’vao, and Ibie’sh.

'''Query''': Can you clarify if 27 years in your response to Sangheili life span were Earth/Sanghelios years?

Query Answer: Life expectancy from [hatching] recorded as 27 [years] at time of index. Query answers are in [collections] of Erde-Tyrene solar days.

'''Query''': How many Earth days does it take for Sanghelios to revolve one time around Urs

Query Answer: 583.3 [days]

'''Query''': How many UNSC credits does 1 Gekz equal?

Query Answer: [frumentarii] records indicate that conversion between Human [transitional economy] units and [Covenant] [transactional economy] units varies depending on a multiplicity of [excambium] factors.

'''Query''': Do Unggoy in Jul 'Mdama's covenant remnant belong to a certain subspecies or are they genetically bred?

Query Answer: Human [Lifeworker] records found in accessible [frumentarii] cores do not indicate extensive [genecraft] modifications by [Covenant] [Lifeworkers]. Rudimentary [forensic] analysis of indexed [monachus frigus] geneplan records and [epigenetic] studies recorded by Human [Lifeworkers] show anomalous phenotypic plasticity, in addition to conclusive evidence of strong genetic structure in selected [Covenant] combatants known to be sourced from specific [breeding] zones. This indicates either prolonged genetic drift in refugia populations or induced selection.

'''Query''': There appears to be conflicting info as to where first contact between Lekgolo and the Covenant occurred, with some sources stating it was Te while others stating it was an unnamed gas giant. Can you clarify that?[priority]

Query Answer: First contact with Hunters was on [Rentus], a moon of the gas-giant [Te] in [784 BCE]. [ref: Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe, p.&nbsp;30].

'''Query''': Can monitors of their own installation be rebuilt by said installation properties as a fail safe?

Alert! Extremely high caseload continues to impact query response. Questions with low system impact but high meta-utility selected. Answers abbreviated.

'''Query''': What date did that Battle of Draetheus V [ref. Halo: Spartan Assault] take place?

Query Answer: Human naval records indicate Covenant forces began their assault on Draetheus-V in 2554.

'''Query''': What is the status of the city of Sydney as of 2557 or 8?

Query Answer: Open-source Human records describe Sydney as a [core primary city] on Erde-Tyrene.

'''Query''': Why is Petty Officer Second Class Linda-058 named as the Scout and why is Petty Officer Second Class Kelly-087 listed as the Sniper of Blue team? (I'm sorry but that's a very big and extremely stupid mistake).

Query Answer: Technical oversight. However, [frumentarii] records do indicate that all SPARTAN-II personnel are cross-trained in a number of [combat actuation] roles.

'''Query''': What is the status and current unitof Ash-G099, Mark-G313, Olivia-G291, Tom-B292, and Lucy-B091? Also are they still part of Blue Team. Please say yes.

Query Answer: [frumentarii] records indicate that Blue Team, as currently constituted, contains only SPARTAN-II personnel.

Do all Catalog units have a separate extension by which they may be called? This is referring to "X.E8" we have seen in your previous communications.

Clarification: X.E8 indicates local terminal node access. Human personnel are not permitted access to [interlink] systems.

'''Query''': Are the Hesduros Sangheili a different subspecies to that of the natives of Sanghelios? Considering the marked differences in appeareance

Query Answer: [macto cognatus] display a range of phenotypic variation. Human [Lifeworker] [population genetics] analysis does not indicate evidence of reproductive isolation in extant colonies or anomalous genetic structure within populations.

===Reality of Halo: Plasma===
For clarification and edification:

All UNSC and Covenant vessels make extensive use of [repulsors-lifters] inside of gravity well [lattices], which can be operated in a [traction caterpillar] mode to generate limited amounts of [pseudothrust]. Inefficient [cylic gravity] plates with short-range [[Boosted gravity propulsion drive|[effector fields]]] are also utilized by Covenant ground vehicles.

This is a rudimentary technology [bridge] to refined application of [twist-torsion] impulse plates for [high-thrust] travel usable outside of the supporting [lattice] of a planet's gravity well. Though recent human vessels make some use of this [art], based on [copy-of-copy] designs utilized by the Covenant, standard propulsion systems use a form of [inertial-electrostatic-fusion] [torch] drive that is quite [ingenious-clever-lucky] in its application of high-order [manifolds] to mitigate energetic [backblast].

===Halo 5 Truth===
The Covenant vessels seen in this War Games map set are contemporary designs within a [[Battle of Installation 04|historical scenario]].

For clarity: All [[War Games|War Game scenarios]] are combat simulations that take place within the UNSC Infinity. Many such map sets are based on actual locales - either reconstructed from fragmentary records (as in the case of the specific layout of the [[Undiminished Entelechy]] and deployment/composition of Thel 'Vadamee's [[Fleet of Particular Justice]]) or built from remotely sensed and on-site survey data for mission preparation and familiarization. Specific implementation of artistic [touches] is at the discretion of the simulation designers and [narrative] builders.

==Humorous posts==
Though Catalog's posts generally have a serious, in-universe tone, the account user(s) occasionally make fourth wall-breaking jokes.

''This was posted on a thread suggesting that [[Jameson Locke]] could be the son of [[Avery Johnson]]. It refers to a common (and often mocked) medical warning that erectile dysfunction pills may induce "an erection lasting longer than four hours"; "Johnson" is a slang term for the penis.''

''This comment was posted in response to a forum user who jokingly suggested that the [[unidentified alien vessel]] from [[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)|''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'''s terminals]] was not built by "dogs, cats, or certain bears" on account of its slipspace capability. "Ursus sapiens" is Latin for "wise bear".''

'''Quote:''' "Does the state of Washington still exist as an entity of the United Republic of North America, and if so, is there finally a Starbucks location on every street corner?"''
:''Query Answer: Administrative subunit "Washington" not found in UEG [provinces].

===The Didact's Speech- Catalog Confirms 100%===
[keepalive]<br>
'''Quote''': I've been saying it since that cover released, and I'll say it again: no way the Didact is making an appearance. I would bet my Halo collection that the cover is a reference to the final confrontation with the Didact at the end of Halo 4.

Note: Catalog has researched multiple Human [flea market] agents who will shortly be of use to you.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/the-didact-s-speech--catalog-confirms-100/384d9363-3472-4df4-a1ed-ba0921a0d41e/posts?page=18#post174 '''Topic''': ''The Didact's Speech- Catalog Confirms 100% - page 9'']</ref>

''The user is referring to the Didact's purported appearance in ''Halo: Escalation'' [[Halo: Escalation Issue 9|Issue #9]] based on [[:File:Halo Escalation 9.jpg|the cover art]]; Catalog indicates that the Didact will indeed appear in the issue.

''The original post is a lampoon of the myriad anti-343 Industries threads found on the ''Halo Waypoint'' forums. Catalog's reply is a play on the "I see what you did there" meme.''
