'''Terminals''' are objects found in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'' and in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''. Conceptually based upon similar terminals in [[Bungie]]'s earlier ''[[Marathon]]'' game series, the Terminals fill the player in on the ''[[Halo universe|Halo]]'' backstory. | '''Terminals''' are objects found in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'' and in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''.

The Terminals in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' feature fully-animated cutscenes instead of text like in ''Halo 3''. Most of them are logs narrated by [[343 Guilty Spark]] and expand on the history of [[Installation 04]]. They also have connections to the stories of ''[[The Forerunner Saga]]'' and ''[[Halo 4]]''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcG-WpL-7lc '''YouTube''': ''Halo Anniversary Gamescom 2011 Interview '']</ref> | |||

{{Main|Terminal/Halo 2: Anniversary|l1=Halo 2: Anniversary Terminals}} | |||
The terminals featured in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' have connections to the story of ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' and center around the story of [[Thel 'Vadam]], the contemporary [[Arbiter]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcSk8Rx_JTo&t=10m30s '''YouTube''': ''Halo 2: Anniversary - Cairo Station Campaign Gameplay and...'']</ref> <ref name="polygon">[http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/12/5802422/halo-5-spartan-locke-nightfall '''Polygon''': ''Halo 5's secret Spartan is Agent Locke, and his story will be revealed in Halo Nightfall'']</ref> These terminals are presented from three unique perspectives: target profiles compiled by LT. [[Jameson Locke]] regarding 'Vadam and his military campaign against Humanity, conversations between [[Sesa 'Refumee]] and [[343 Guilty Spark]] concerning the [[Sangheili]] under the [[Covenant religion]], and a [[The Punished Deeds|Covenant record]] assembled by a [[Unidentified San'Shyuum scribe|San'Shyuum scribe]] pertaining to the role the Arbiters have played throughout the [[history of the Covenant]]. | |||

{{Main|Audio log}} | |||
''Halo 3: ODST'' features a series of audio logs found in data terminals throughout the city of [[New Mombasa]]. The logs form an illustrated audio drama called [[Sadie's Story]] which tells the story of a [[civilian]] inhabitant of the city known as [[Sadie Endesha]] and her journey out of the city during the [[Battle of Mombasa|Covenant attack]] hours prior to the game's campaign. | |||

The Terminals in ''Halo 3'' are in textual format, similar to the Terminals in ''Marathon''. They are a continuation of the ''[[Iris]]'' alternate reality game used as viral marketing for ''Halo 3''. They clarify a great deal of the Iris storyline by naming the authors of different messages and by explaining the circumstances of the original firing of the [[Halo Array]]. The Terminals follow the stories of the [[Librarian]] and the [[IsoDidact]], [[Forerunner]] logs of the [[Flood]] attacks, and [[Mendicant Bias]]'s progression into [[rampancy]]. | The Terminals in ''Halo 3'' are in textual format, similar to the Terminals in ''Marathon''.

The Terminals return within ''Halo 4'', and they feature fully-animated cutscenes, like the terminals in Anniversary.<ref>[http://www.halodestiny.net/news-2073-des-terminaux-dans-halo-4.html '''Halo Destiny''' : ''Des terminaux dans Halo 4'']</ref> The terminals are presented as fragments of information from the [[Domain]], which recapitulate the events mentioned in ''The Forerunner Saga''.
