| | ==Description== |
| | | The Forerunner structures which occupy Requiem's equatorial caverns appear to generate power by harnessing its violent squalls. Onsite personnel believe that a full understanding of such a technology would offer the [[Unified Earth Government|UEG]] substantial amounts of affordable, clean energy. Nevertheless, its internal mechanisms remain enigmatic.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/10/25/The-Halo-Bulletin-102512-.aspx '''The Halo Bulletin:''' ''10.25.12'']</ref> |
