In Response To: Just Finished Going Through The Bestiarum (StrengthInFaith)


: And...wow. It is utterly amazing, just brimming with information. "So
: much, so fast!" as Cortana would say. I also noticed several juicy
: tidbits: 1) The Precursors, supposedly more advanced than the Forerunners.
: Who were they? What role did/have they played in the Halo story? Where
: were they from?

As much as the Covenant revered the Forerunners, the Forerunners revered the Precursors. The Terminal texts will tell you more about them. They were the ones from whom the Forerunner inherited the Mantle of protection of galactic species.

: 2) "Qualifications for being a Reclaimer." What are those
: qualifications? Why has humanity been the only one found
: "worthy" so far?

Some of the Terminal text gives this to us as to why humans on Earth were special.

: 3) The Flood's extragalactic origin. Where are they from? How did they get
: here? Why were they on planet G617g? How did they get there?

They're an invading force from another galaxy with completely unique biology in every way truly 'alien' to our galaxy. Don't know how they got here. Planet G617 must have been on the outskirts of the galactic rim and that was simply the first point of contact between Forerunner expeditions and a new form of life determined not indigenous to that planet, nor the galaxy.

: 4) Do the Flood truly have telepathy? If so, how does it work?

No real answers that I'm aware of.

: 5) How does the Flood Super Cell work?

Alien biology. :) Dunno.

: 6) I found it interesting that the listing for "Reclaimer" cited
: only John-117's home planet (Eridanus II). What about the other Reclaimers
: (Miranda Keyes, Sergeant Johnson, etc.)? Is John the only one truly
: recognized as being a Reclaimer?

The listing for Reclaimer is an augmented human, a cyborg, with a bioneural implant. Simply calling out the Master Chief as a technical different variety of human species. (That way we have some info on another world. :)

: That's all I can think of at the moment. What questions did the Bestiarum
: raise for you? What are your speculations about the points I brought up?
