The '''Key of Osanalan''' | {{New Content}} | ||
The '''Key of Osanalan''' is a [[Forerunner]] object underneath the city of [[Cleveland]], [[United States of America|Ohio]] on [[Earth]].<ref>[[Halo: Uprising Issue 1]]</ref> As revealed by a captured [[Colonel James Ackerson]], without the Key, the [[Halo Array|Halos]] will not properly activate. Outside of [[Halo: Uprising]], no mention of the key is seen in [[Halo 3]], and [[Master Chief]] activates the replacement [[Installation 04]] successfully even without the key. However, it appears the key does not exist at all. During their childhood, Colonel Ackerson and his brother, [[Ruwan]], made up an object called the Key of Osanalan for their make-believe games. It is likely Ackerson, told the Covenant about the key to prevent them from simply destroying Cleveland. | |||

*The key, could be required for a full Array activation, but not for singular detonations, as a sort of stop-gap measure and extension to ensure that the galaxy, is not wiped out by accident, or the key could likely be the activation index for the portal, which would explain its location on [[Earth]] and not a Halo ring. The key could also be a [[Keyship]], much like Truth's [[Dreadnought]]. | |||
*The key, could be related to the [[Activation Index]], whether in appearance, or not, it holds a striking resemblance metaphor-wise. | |||
*The key could also be one of Mendicant Bias's Fragments, that is needed to activate the Portal to the Ark. It would explain why the Forerunner Dreadnought was just sitting in its Cradle, for such a long time. | |||
*The key, could be a master key of sorts, able to activate any of the halo rings, without their respective firing indexes. | |||
