I have an issue with the six fingered theory, could it be that there was issue with dominant hands, and with the forerunners predisposition to symmetrical figures that they over-lay the left and right hand? well just a strange theory. —This unsigned comment was made by Troubleshooter (talk • contribs).

I agree. —This unsigned comment was made by 66.188.149.152 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Double agree. Especially following Halo 3 (non-spoiler), it's much more likely it is a Human hand, and mirrored for ambidextrous use. —This unsigned comment was made by 209.153.128.248 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Actually, it's probably just an oversight by Bungie developers. The 'sprite' for the panel is mirrored, the hand is in the middle. Look very closely = it's exactly symmetrical. —This unsigned comment was made by 99.164.38.110 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

We know that the Forerunner kept a number of species safe from the activation of the Halos. It's possible that the Elites were one of those species. If that's the case, the holopanel could be meant to be used by the Forerunner or the Elites (notice the 4 fingers of the Elites could correspond to the two middle and two outer fingers on the holopanel). --Cortana 20:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed Facts

Should we ask Bungie in the next Q and A about it? If there ever is one, that is.Thunderstream328 UserWiki:Thunderstream328|My Wiki Userpage]] File:Thunderstream328.jpg|15px]] _{My board Here me rawr Stuff I've done} 14:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps the hand is not six-fingered, and is just an ambidextrious (the ability to use both hands to equal proficiency, not right-handed or left-handed) representation. By ignoring one of the two outer-most fingers, the symbol looks, to me, like a regular human hand, a right hand if you disregard the right-most finger and a left hand if the left-most finger. -Prometheus25

My idea is that this may be in face another Biblical refferance, seeing that the librarian was left on earth, AND that all species on the ark were saved, AND that theres a portal from the ark to earth. It is possible that the librarian or other forerunners may have had descendants living and reproducing on our planet. 2 Samuel 21:20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. it is possable that bungie tried to fit the forerunners in with the Bible as these giants, who at some point went extinct. However some believe that the six fingeredness and the giantness was caused by a mutation, nonetheless an interesting idea. Crubs 06:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that is a Forerunner hand. I think it's just a design, but Halo 3 as something like this in the Ark's control room. But the ball in Halo Wars is what confuses me on this. I am really not sure about this "Forerunner hand", because the control room thing maches this, but the Halo Wars ball is what confuses me wach the Halo Wars cutscene that realese the Forerunner ships - Aononnumus 8:44, 18 June 2009

Accully, I really am not sure if its a Forerunner hand or not. The novel trilogy will confirm it. - Aononnumus 10:39, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe...

... the image in question is not a hand in the first place? It is possible that we simply think it is a hand since it looks like one but in actuality, it is never supposed to be a hand. — subtank 13:08, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

It doesn't look like a hand at all to me. Just looks like three floating squares Edit:Odd shapes.--Spartacus ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 13:12, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

Huh, I swore I put up a delete template last time I was on. Yeah, I was going to say this page is nothing but speculation. Speculative title, speculative content. Rightfully deserves a delete. —S331 _{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)} 13:16, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
