Re: The Theory that Starts a NEW Discussion (Summa

In Response To: Re: The Theory that Starts a NEW Discussion (Summa (RedFox34)

: Maybe the Spartans are familar with the technology because they've already
: learned how to use it when they visited Halo the first time around.

Well, they talk about how it is instinctive, for example:
"Even with his enhanced memory, he couldn't place where he'd seen them before. They just seemed.... familiar. - What did you do? Cortana asked - "I ... don't know," the Spartan admitted. He wasn't sure why he pressed the "button" on the display. He just knew it felt right."

The - is a break where I skipped adjectives and such. This is pg 84 the flood, which I have to use because my copy of First Strike mysteriously disappeared (time warp, anyone?), but I know that in that one as well Fred or one of those other generically named Spartans hops in a Wraith tank and knows exactly how to start it up, even though it is the first time one has ever been captured so to speak.

And also this is a little off topic but why did Bungie pick such seemingly ordinary names? John, Fred, Linda, Kelly.... the only one that I can think of off-hand that is different is Fhajad, who gets Parkinson's disease. I think there is a reason that these characters have such everyday names. I know there wasn't any Fred's in the Bible. Anyway thanks for responding to the first post. I think by everyone throwing their ideas around is how to get these theories (hopefully) perfect and maybe write the Halo Bible out by ourselves. Good luck and keep theorizing!
