| Just some thoughts on all this... | |

In Response To: The Theory of Everything (for Halo, at least) (yakaman) : I think it is a generally accepted theory that humans are the forerunner,
: IF the above are assumed to be true, and because Bungie really seems to like
: It took roughly 60 million years for small mammals to evolve into primates.
: So here is the theory: Flash back to 100,000 years ago...the Forerunner, the
: Incredibly advanced and enlighted, but understanding their dire
: Some short period after Halo is triggered, "seed pods" are sent out
: Arguments? there's only around nine planets in our galaxy, right? there is no planet Reach, no planets that are mentioned in Halo (aside from Earth, of course.) So it all takes place in other galaxies, right? I havn't seen that said outright anywhere, and some people said it all takes place in our galaxy. So, what if the covenant were already far more advanced then us, but they were just slower in discovering the technology? What if the Forerunner were similar to humans, but yet different? (like the "Lucy" fossil found some years ago, that was thought to be our ancestor) Let's say the forerunner, in our ever-expanding universe, came uponm a world with a virus that shortens lifespans and female fertility in some species. Now, the forerunner just happens to be close enough (geneticly)to a species that is fully affected by the virus, and is then decreased in species size as the virus is caught by other forerunner? (the virus could be like AIds, in the way that it's had to detect for a while, but is always there when you have it.)The covenant, being very unadvanced at this time, mmight have considered the forerunner gods, and as the forerunner die the covinent might belive that the forerunner "ascended" to heaven, and left hem incharge. So, as they expanded, tey came across the humans, and, considering we look like the forerunner, considered us imposter and, thus, unholy, and a joke directed so the "gods" were the butt(forgot a better way to say that :P.) As for the flood, the were a cure for the disease, but only if you were not completely transformed, so the Halos were testing to find the right transformation %. A medical accident occures, and some flood transform fully. instead of destroying them, the forerunner dicied they might be able to find a cure, or reverse the effects(thus eliminating the first research entirly.) As this research progresses, the first is forgotten, and flood are preserved for future research. All this time,the forerunner are dieing out. The Halos get cut off from the rest of the universe. As they die, they each belive more forerunner will eventuially come and continue the research, so the set up the moniters (like 343 GS), preserve some small flood, and then set up a fail-safe, incase the flood escape. Thus the flood are on Halo. The covenant, not knowing this, explores the Halos, but cannot decode anything. After find an artifact on Reach to help them, they successfully decode it, but with some mmissing or added words, thus changing the meaning. Thinking it is a weapon, the dig deeper to find how to use it to destroy the hummans. they uncover the flood, try to contain it, but fail. I'm out of ideas and my head is starting to hurt after so much speculation. These are just some thoughts I've had, then expanded upon. | |
