In Response To: Prophets+Humans=Forerunner (Really LONG) (DD) Very nice theory. Things I like: - Explains Prophets dislike of humanity
I have some questions/comments.... 1.) How do you explain the Prophets stopping at nothing to begin the Great Journey? Meaning, they've just about got the whole galaxy under their thumb, so why wipe it all out? If they were only trying to destroy humanity, then it fits. But they are trying to destroy humanity *and* fire the Halos? 2.) Why to the monitors only ever reference humanity? I know we are Reclaimers - but I think the only way the Covies are ever referenced by the monitors are with terms like "others" and "interlopers". 3.) Do you believe that humans were hidden? It seems that by your theory the Prophets act as "Memory" of the Forerunner, tasked with recovering the species and restoration of Forerunner culture, with Humans as "Reclaimers", tasked with reclaiming all Forerunner technology (not just Halo firing) and restoring the society to its technological level. It seems like the Prophets would have been provided with locations of all Arks/species. If they wanted to usurp Humanity's power, why not come sooner? 4.) In your theory, I think I prefer humans and Prophets only (not the rest of the Covenant) as Forerunner. It gives it a sort of Cane and Abel feel to it. Note that the questions above are really just to expand the thoery, not disprove it. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, only see how far it can be taken. In any case, nice work! | |
