Re: You're not going to like it *CH* *SP*

In Response To: Re: You're not going to like it *CH* *SP* (scarab)


: So although we saw that the portal opened to operate, you believe that it can
: operate whilst closed and buried.
Yeah, that 'ol hunk of junk has had about 100,000 years to get covered with dirt, it generally takes stuff only about 2000.

: I just don't buy it.
Um, they didn't know Earth, or humanity existed? We're really primitive? Like, really, really primitive?

: What about this? The anomalous world is in a perilous location beyond the
: line.
: {/THE SECRETS IT HOLDS MUST BE PRESERVED/}
: {/PLANS WITHIN PLANS WITHIN PLANS/}
: The inhabitants; these unique denizens, must be researched.
: They may hold answers to our own mysteries .
: {/WHAT IRONY THAT WE DISCOVERED THIS TREASURE, ONLY AT THE END OF THINGS/}
: {/BUT WHAT FORTUNE THAT WE STILL HAD TIME TO SAVE THEM/}
: The thing we built on that world will vouchsafe their lives,
: {/BUT PERHAPS ONE DAY IT WILL BE USED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE/}
: If the plan succeeds, and they are saved, it will be a good world.
: If the plan fails,
: {/AND THE ADVERSARY SUCCEEDS/}
: it will remain an enigma forever
: {/WITH NO ONE LEFT TO RECLAIM IT/}

: Oh, and then there are the Cortana letters, sparky's comments in Halo,
: Truth's comments to Johnson in-game in Halo 3, sparky's comments in Halo
: 3.
Ah yes, the Cortana letters, which Bungie has unequivically stated aren't Canon unless specifically corroborated in-game, Truth's comments...like...oh yeah! Forefathers! I'm the same person as my forefathers! They left us their legacy-we're more likely their adopted children. And Spark's comments, which you woud be able to tell aren't literal by listening to how he pronounces it and the context he puts them in if you weren't as blindly devoted to your theory as Truth was to his deluded faith.

: That is a large list of pointers to F==H. Bungie would not have bothered to
: put them in if they didn't intend that F==H.
You're joking, right? Please tell me you're not taking everything Bungie says at face value. Have you learned anything in teh past 6 years?

Here's another obvious fact you're ignoring. Homo Sapiens has existed for 200,000 years. 100,000 of them are OUR history, the years since the activation. Look at the technology we have. Do you think that in 100,000 years the Forerunners could get to technology tier 0, while we're still mucking about in the mid-ranges? And don't tell me they got help from the Precursors, they'd have to have interstellar flight-LONG interstellar flight to find it if they originated on Earth. In 2552 we've only had it for a couple hundred years. Do you think that in, lets give 'em 250 years, the Forerunners could find, interperet and use enough Precursor technology to bump them up many levels? We have been unable to with Forerunner tech that we've found, so it stands to reason that if the Forerunners are us, they would also be unable to.
