Re: Once Upon a Time, the End - Revisited

In Response To: Re: Once Upon a Time, the End - Revisited (Ryan Omark)

: That is a good question...because i've heard many theories that life that is
: allready on the ring will stay alive, and the forerunner kept samples of
: the flood to study...so if those theories are true, then alot of the flood
: that were held on halo stayed alive, and were just waiting for someone to
: release them. But that also means that no forerunner were on the rings
: when they fired, which doesn't really make any sense.

Or that the forerunners who were on the rings died and decomposed, and the Sentinels just kept things tidy and clean (343 does have a border line obsessive compulsive disorder after all). As for the flood, it looks like they might have been in some form of stasis, or hibernation.

One of the interesting aspects of Delta Halo is that there is evidence of a defensive line created by the Forerunners/Sentinels around the index, such as the barrier shield. Also there is the evidence of a massive battle predating the Covenant/Human arrival. Both of which were not visible of Halo 04, which makes me woder if the outbreak on 04 was a first time occurance. There is the possibility that a massive outbreak happened on one of the other Halo's and the protocol was followed (possibly on Delta Halo). This might explain why Halo 04 looks like who ever ran it had just taken a trip to Starbucks and forgot to come back. In all honesty, if they were afriad of the flood excaping the installation couldn't the monitor's depressurize the ring's surface and freeze the little buggers with hard vacumm? Also, if the Forerunners were so worried about the flood escaping (they did build the Halos custom for them as a fortress), shouldn't there be a whole lot of guns mounted to keep any intruders off the ring? After all, you can't let any idiot into the Forerunner answer to a Bio weapon lab without at least checking their 'nametag', as it were.

Sorry, just my random, paranoid ramblings, til next time.
