Prophet betrayal of the Forerunner
Posted By: DD <dtduncan@ncsu.edu>Date: 1/31/06 4:58 p.m.

In Response To: Anyone remember The Dark Crystal movie? (Ciarán)

: The prophet's problem is of course that humans could unknowingly set off the
: Halos - see Halo: Combat Evolved for one close shave :) Thus, wiping out
: humanity means that the Prophets would be safe. Of course, keep a few
: humans alive just in case a Reclaimer is needed.

That may also explain why they want the index so badly. Not to begin the Great Journey, but to prevent it.

: So, if this theory is right, why does 343 Guilty Spark think we should know
: what we're doing? This seems to imply that we should have got our memories
: back - so to speak.

That is what the prophets were supposed to do- reunite with humanity after it has developed enough on its own and tell us what happened in the past. Since the prophets kept their memories, they naturally achieved interstellar travel faster than humans, especially if they recover the Forerunner tech they used before. 343 GS just assumes that since there are humans on halo, then naturally they have already been filled in on the details by the prophets.

GS 343 doesn't expect a Prophet betrayal of the Forerunner's plans.

: Here's my conspiracy theory - ONI found the Ark, and
: within it our Forerunner "memories". When they did, they
: realised that here was a way to win the war - sit in the Ark, release the
: Flood on the original Halo, and sit back and wait for protocols to be
: followed and the galaxy to be wiped clean. This could be problematic,
: since at the end of Halo 2, anyone in the Ark - any human perhaps - could
: wipe the galaxy clean of sentient life. Any bets that Colonel Ackerson is
: there, ready to press the button?

Colonel Ackerson definitely knows more than he is saying, and wherever he is he is bound to cause trouble. Your theory is frighteningly good.
