Description

"I'm a futurist. You're a nostalgia guy. That's alright. It keeps you interesting. But I believe technology exists so we can overcome our weaknesses. So a blind man can see with a new set of eyes, or so the sick and weary can live to fight another day, or so a woman working far away can talk to her loved ones. I've dedicated my life to that belief. What I'm doing? I'm working on a system that can see a problem before it even becomes one. And using everything else available, I'll make sure we're prepared for when it arrives. You see I don't just predict the future, I create it. And that's why I don't have time for your training."

"I went to sleep for a long time, Forge, and woke up to not just a world, but a whole Galaxy filled with marvels, and I honestly really think your tech is the tops. But sometimes I worry about what it’s doing to people. And you know what they say about those who forget history: they're doomed to repeat it."-

Forge Industries CEO Tyrone Forge and Spartan-001 Clark Rakers/Commander Noble on the subject of Forge's apparent over-reliance on technology

(Yep, had to put the whole thing into Google Docs. Even when I halved the content in here it wouldn't fit Deviantart's description limit, so instead of doing a part 2, a part 3 and an inevitable part 4, I decided to cut the crap and just dump it all on something that can actually fit everything I've written in one.)

(I actually do believe that a lot of the ideas I've mentioned in this are well worth thinking about as genuine solutions to problems that the world has. Not all of them are mine of course, but I did come up with Atmospheric Control Towers in a way, and I've always wondered why almost nobody I could name has suggested something like that being built. Others I think are definitely gonna make things worse for us as a society, like Superbuildings and UAVIs, or things like the Surveillance Grid and a couple others. I do wholeheartedly believe though that many of these things will indeed be real in some form in the future, so feel free to consider this my own prophetic warning of the dark dystopia that awaits us all and be ready to say "Holy shit Neb, you were right! They're straight up building a Bridgeville nearby cause housing prices are so damn expensive now, and you know what? I'm kinda thinking of moving in! You knew it!" I'm kidding, but thinking about the potential of these things definitely does bring me some discomfort since a lot of what I mention is already rooted in reality.)

(Also the reason I left things like Slipspace Drives blank is becuase...we all know what the slipspace is in Halo, plus I couldn't be bothered to juggle with the word "quantum" one billion times in one entry. I'll probably add it at some point, but for now I'll leave it be I think)

(UPDATE: Added contributions from www.deviantart.com/mickeeyoofe… , namely being the different gunpowder types and the Electromagnetic feed system)
