Requiems interior is confusing to me. I assumed it was a Shield World like the one in Halo Wars, but then we go inside the core, and its a smaller sphere. How does that work? When you look at the skybox in any of the missions ior maps in Halo 4, you never see the core (I don't think). It'd also be nice for someone to explain to me how the Core destabilized at the end of Foreunner(?), but then was never mentioned again. Seems like a preeety major plot point to me, but apparently it wasn't.

Requim is like an onion. [spoiler]It has layers[/spoiler]

Git out of ma Shield World!

Requiem was the very first Shield World, it is comprised of a series of layers of concentric shells - think like Russian dolls where each one has a smaller one inside.
-
Okay, but what about the destabilization though? Shouldn't that have been more important than getting the Infinity out of Requiem?
-
Not particularly. The inner-most Dyson shell was "destabilised" when the Ur-Didact moved his Cryptum through slipspace, the rest of the planet remained unaffected.

Only the core was destabilized.
-
But surely the core is essential though, no? Why have it if you don't need it?

Edited by Mr Admirals7044: 9/6/2014 2:01:55 AMThe core was simply the last concentric shell. It was destabilized making it very dangerous, however the other shells can maintain themselves.

Alright, cool. Thanks!
