In Response To: "I've smelled that stench before..." (Spartan Jag)
: Sure, he could've gotten into dozens of fights with The Flood, or it may be
: someone completely different, but it would be a nice tie-in. So far, the
: Covenant aren't very well prepared against the Flood, it would seem
: (Projectile weapons work better then Plasma), maybe this isn't the
: dozenth/hundreth time. Maybe they don't know a whole lot, because of only
: a few encounters. Half Jaw could've been the only survivor, and he may
: have been promoted thus leading up to his current position.
: Bungie has a reputation for cool things like this, and
: this would be really cool. :)
I wouldn't say dozens, seeing as how the flood is a relatively new enemy to the Covies (I say relatiely new, since when the arbiter mentioned "the parasite", everyone seemed to know what he meant, implying that it was an understandable event... Yet the Arbiter himself does not seem to know himself what the flood smell like...) So Halfjaw might be, as you've said, a lone survivor of an encounter... Or maybe a member of a sterilization force on another forerunner facility...
(PS I haven't been around lately, what with graduation preparation and whatnot, but I turned 17 on the 3rd of this month...)
