: 1) I'm not really sure, honestly. During Iris we learned that the forerunner : came into contact with earth right near the end, and the forerunner tried : to preserve our awesomeness, and pass down the tourch to us. I'm not a : Halo book expert, but I don't really see how the Covenant, or MB, were : supposed to know about these unique denizens that were chillin' on Earth. : 2) I was never sure, but others have mentioned MB. So I can roll with that. : 3) Perhaps it was nothing more than a conversation between a bot and a living : being? For example, say I have a suppository that floats, and can also : hold a conversation with me. We start talking about the rings, their : purpose, proper protocol in a severe Flood outbreak, and the heavy burden : such a solution would carry for whoever is involved with the activation : process, in the unfortunate event that a Flood outbreak ever occured. The : human turns to the light bulb and asks "Suppose their comes a time : when we have to activate these rings? When, and if, that day arrives, what : would your decision be in such a situation?" And 343's answer is : simple - activate the rings. And it appears it had never changed. : As for the why would you hesitate to do what you've already done. I'm : guessing 343 is simply referring to the last activation. And doesn't : understand why these new reclaimers are so hesitant to activate the rings : under such circumstances, when the Flood could potentially destroy all. : It could also just be story evolved. Or story rushed and changed a bit. Story to the max perhaps?
