Talk:Activation Index

From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki

[edit] How it works

I suggest that we should include the information found in the Library article about the cloned DNA sequences, and how the Index contains all that information necessary for targeting all things with those sequences. -J.f 4 September 10:38

Why did Tartarus make Miranda Keys insert the index into the control room panel when he could just do it himself? Are only humans allowed to do it? jacket023 07:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, only Reclaimers can preform that specific task, and it seems like Reclaimers = Humans. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 09:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

or possibly the index has a failsafe in it where upon being touched for the first time it accepts DNA from the reclaimer and then only that reclaimer can use the index, similar to the technology used in a "law-giver" sidearm shown in Judge Dread. -Ergna-

Where in the level Halo do we find out that the index can activate any halo except the one it is found on? Besides if that was so, then it would have been impossible to activate Installation 04 and 05? --Bravo Kilo 04:49, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

~ Where it says that it's "made of an advanced material," and that's why it can be stored in a network as information? Uh...I would think that it can be stored in a network because the Index itself is entirely information. The little handheld key is just the Halo version of a USB dongle that can carry all that information from place to place securely.

So the Index is programmed with the DNA of potential targets so that the Halos will know what to target? I wonder what would happen if you replace the human DNA segment with that of a Flood super cell?--Amitakartok 15:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] From The Index to Index

This article's headline has two major errors, both about the "The". First off, there are seven indexes, and no reason to use singularis. Secondly this is the only article with the in it's title. Not even ark use the. Please dispose "The".

It has always been referred to as The Index. We use proper names, which is what that apparently is. -ED 22:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
