: BUT! After reading CH I don't know what to think. The statements by the
: Oracle and Truth's inner dialog are really, REALLY, unambiguous. And since
: it's Staten doing the writing, I tend to want to weight these statements
: over any other piece of fiction in the Haloverse.
: Iris really cemented things for me (Humans NOT Forerunner), since it was
: directed by Frankie specifically as story filler for H3. But a novel
: created specifically by Staten is just as powerful.
: Basically what they've done is completely muddy the waters, their goal, I'm
: sure. There is now (again) wiggle room for multiple arguments, and
: reasonable doubt for each.
: I am undone!
I've started to think about it like how things "worked" in the Babylon5 universe. The First Ones were the first races to achieve "greatness" among the stars. The walked like giants and then started to help the younger races along as they developed. Once the younger races could stand on their own the First Ones went away leaving the galaxy to those that remained, some of whom would eventually "reclaim" parts of the First One's worlds and tech.
While it doesn't fit letter for letter I think it is a nice framework to think about this in.
