Also Unconfirmed- Martin Ritter (screen name Reaper) spotted the Marathon symbol on the pipe. It can be seen as Keyes gestures toward the view screen with the pipe. It is located on the front of the bowl of the pipe.  Mr. Ritter would appreciate confirmation by other Halo fans.

Keyes lighting his grandfather's pipe.

Keyes' pipe was an heirloom tobacco pipe that belonged to Captain Jacob Keyes. A billiard style pipe, it was passed down to him by his grandfather. Despite being against regulations, Keyes kept it with him most times in his pocket, using it to aid concentration - not necessarily by smoking it, but at least holding it and chewing on its tip.[1][2] However, there were two occasions in which Keyes ignored United Nations Space Command regulations and smoked his pipe on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn's bridge.[3][4] By the 26th Century, pipes like his had become antiquated, replaced by self-lighting cigars and cigarettes. Keyes kept the pipe throughout his entire military career all the way up to the Battle of Installation 04, until he was infected by the Flood.

The pipe hanged from one of the tentacles connected to the Flood Proto-Gravemind, the Flood form Keyes was integrated into.[5]

Easter eggs[edit]

The Marathon logo, also the Pillar of Autumn's ship emblem, is marked on the pipe.
