Re: The Ark...and Conainment
Posted By: Jagged <shadowpilot1355@aol.com>Date: 1/26/05 10:51 p.m.

In Response To: ONI must have known something (Ben Ritter)

First and foremost, great theory....you obviously have it well thought out, and have done your homework....or not, depending on how much time this took...anyway,

Next, The Ark. It is my opinion that the Ark is the forerunner ship that was docked with High Charity. We all know that it was being used as a power source, but my question is...for how much of the station?.if it had embarked after being the main power supply for so long, wouldn't High Charity have basically shut down, no atmosphere, etc....killing everyone on board (well, if the flood hadn't already) so, assuming that a ship that size....which appears to be fairly massive, compared to In Amber Clad, and somewhat bigger than a Covenant Carrier could power something that size speaks of incredible power. Which could allow it to travel to Earth from extreme distances in the span of a few minutes.

Now, on to Containment. The monitors seem to be programmed to think that the only way to stop a flood outbreak is to activate the rings, and destroy all sentient life. Which, in turn, starves the flood to death, with the exception of using sentinalls to control minor outbreaks. This shows that they are purely logical, and bent on completing their programmed task of controlling or destroying the flood. Yet, Penitent Tangent doesn't seem to have a problem with being capruted/assimilated with/by the Gravemind. He calmly tells the ARbiter, MC, and Regret all about protocols.....at the Gravemind's bidding. And, the gravemind stated, "Now i shall talk, and you shall listen," and then, he brought up the monitor of 05....which could mean that the gravemind could absorb Artificial Intellignces as well as sentient life. This, plus the scene at the end of the credits makes me wonder about the fate of Earth.....expecially since High Charity arrived at Installation 05, showing it has slipspace capability.

So, if High Charity was not entirely dependent, and the Gravemind can control assimilate AI as well as life, then it could obtain the coordinates of Earth from cortana, and we could see High Charity showing up in orbit around earth....and so the covenant-human-flood fight continues....
