Re: Clarity and grace

In Response To: Re: Clarity and grace (Narcogen)

: But one legitimate activation scenario (Installation 04) has already been
: thwarted. Spark probably can't verify that no Flood escaped the ring.
: Given that he escaped, the Master Chief escaped, Sergeant Johnson escaped,
: it seems logical to assume other escapees are possible.

His log in CotU would suggest otherwise. Not only does he say his judgement seems to have failed him, but that the Flood outbreak was halted.
As he says in his log:
Detail Installation 4 Destroyed/Nuclear Reaction/Flood Containment achieved by Reclaimer.

He complains it was inelegant, but it got the job done.
We've since learnt from the HGN that some Flood did get off the ring, but that was halted by Rtas 'Vadumee as an almost unsung hero of the piece.

As for Delta Halo, we don't really know that 343 GS is even aware about the Flood outbreak there or on High Charity. Given that he doesn't just teleport himself away from Tartarus as soon as he's on the installation nor does he summon any Sentinels, it is perhaps not inplausable that only the assigned Monitor has access to those systems.

I feel there is a lot more to 343 GS then he's usually given credit for. He's just a bit computer senile (thank you Red Dwarf).
Maybe I'm the only one, but I think he's changed somewhat as a character between Halo and Halo 2 with the destruction of installation 04 and in turn his assignement for so many eons. I didn't really see him as an enemy in Halo 2.

At the end of the day, he does help them deactivate Delta Halo, something he would not tolerate at all in the first game as we saw.
Though yes, it could be that that he allowed it to happen because he knew Truth was already on his way to the Ark with that goal in mind, but maybe not. If the Covenant already knew the Earth was the Ark, they wouldn't have needed to tell 343 GS much about their plans, just get the information from him they needed.

As ever, no real answers yet.
