Re: Touched by an Angel - HSP Rocks!

In Response To: Re: Riders in the Storm - HSP Rocks! (Metatron)

: Yes, I'm the new guy... I understand:)

: Thanks for filling me in on what little debate you guys had over this book.
: Did anyone find out what "who, or what would wear a Halo?"
: meant? As far as I'm aware, no one has. On that note, the last general
: direction we, the fans, were given was a "warm" on the post
: about the Dict. of Fallen Angels. Since I actually possess this book, I
: can tell you that there are some interesting parallels. Unfortunately, I
: don't have anything written out, as of yet. I'll post something on the
: subject before long, though:)

: -Metatron

As far as I recollect, there was never a definite answer verified as correct to the question, "who, or what would wear a Halo?" Yes we did have much discussion about it, it seemed that the answer was NOT an angel, but that does not dismiss the possibility that the question referred to fallen angels, AI's with angel names, etc. For instance, could an AI "wear a Halo" if they were perhaps in the core?

Search the Halo Story Page here on Bungie.org for additional information. What is posted there is basically what we discussed here on the forum. Like many Halo speculations, the fans get really close to the right answer, only later to take a tangent down a different and not so right path to the answer, perhaps even later heading back down the right path. It is a constant that we fans will do this getting "warmer" and getting "colder" to the Halo Story Tru7h when the unknown factors cannot be accurately accounted for.

Personally, I tended to think, unsubstantiated by the powers that be, that the answer had something to do with marriage, or brides, or virgin mothers, or something referring to the reproduction or rebirth of the Forerunners or Forerunner AI's. I thought this was what would wear a Halo.

Certainly there is a mythological background to the answer(s). I was once told that a "psychic" said I was a reborn angel, so was my father. I asked about my mother and the answer was she was not, she was just a very nice person. So I don't discount that Bungie draws its unique story from many actual sources of fiction and fact; pertaining to this topic, the "rebirth" of angels through humans or AIs might be part of the story. Of course, saying that is nothing new.
