| Re: Note about the Flood | |

In Response To: Re: Note about the Flood (Gravemind) There are a lot of things to consider about those who imprisoned the flood in the first place. As Peptuck earlier noted, Guilty Spark speaks almost reverently about the insertion of the index into the core, and that the Control Room on Halo 04 is shaped like a temple, or a shrine. Is there some sort of religious angle to what our otherwise super-scientific monitors are doing on the rings? And don't forget that Guilty Spark explicitly mentioned that Halo was a weapon, and that the Forerunner died as planned. But we know from the first game that Halo isn't just a galaxy-killing superweapon, it has research facilities as well. Guilty Spark didn't say a whole lot of things about the ring to the Arbiter, not nearly as much as he babbled to the Chief in the library. Would he say the truth to the Master Chief if he asked instead of the Arbiter asking? Finally, Staten said in his last interview that the Forerunner faded away. The Monitors say that they died according to plan. Did the monitors fail to make a distinction between dying off as a species and dying off as entities? That bizarre dismembered voice in Whisper in the Storm and the Guilty Spark line "Why hesitate to do what you've already done?" seem to indicate that the Forerunner, as thinking beings, aren't gone...they live on inside the Reclaimers, and elsewhere. As physical living organisms, they are all gone. Maybe that was their intention? To become sort of...disembodied entities that the Flood couldn't capture? But then...why keep the flood alive? Curious, curious.
