In Response To: (yet more) Evolutions thoughts/questions (Arithmomaniac) : Just finished my library copy of Evolutions... Not my favorite Halo book : (First Strike would probably take that one) but still a standout in a good : series. : Pariah felt like it had the potential to be a great story, but had no ending. : (And what was in the box?) I'm hoping we're not done with him... : Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss had Covenant politics. And a twisted ending. : Definitely a fan. : Suprised to find Asimov in Midlothian ... why would a smart AI be encoded : that way if they are just a brain scan? Even our dumb computers aren't : programmed that way. : The SpecOp Elites in Headhunters and Midlothian are not the same, which is : odd ... : Since when do Spartans talk so much? (Black Team, Headhunters)? We all : figured Gray Team was the exception, not the rule... : At least they didn't give John the same treatment in Palace Hotel ... what a : remarkable coincidence at the end. Luck strikes again. : Speaking of which, does the dialogue in Human Weakness supersede the in-game : dialogue? Do the events in Palace Hotel replace a whole level of Halo 2? : Human Weakness is possibly my all-time favorite short story. (And I just : finished reading Asimov's The Complete Robot ). I also liked the : synthesized version of rampancy/AI death in it. : Nice to see the godfather of the Halo universe writing again ... even if he : can't directly write on the universe at large, he throws in a good deal of : background info. : That, and the last two (slow) stories at the end of the book ... I wonder : whether 343 may be ready to move on to post-Halo already, without making a : space-combat game. Come on! : Arithmomaniac For Midlothian - Mo Ye isn't programmed that way - but her factory chassis is - the defaults are literally entered at the factory in case something goes wrong before it gets to UNSC for programming. The factory itself has no access to her deeper settings - and only Engineers would be able to cripple her in this fashion.
