DISCLAIMER: This isn't sanctioned by Bungie (duh), isn't official, is partly based on other's theories (thanks, guys!), etc, etc. I do think it is the most realistic and all-explaining Ark theory in existence, however. :-) --------HALO FAQ-------- Q: What does Halo do? A: Halo eradicates all large, sentient life in the surrounding 25,000 light-year radius. It does so in an unknown manner, but involves pulses. It does NOT eliminate life on itself. Halo preserves life on itself. Q: How many Halos are there? A: At least 4 and possibly more than 10 Q: Why was Halo designed to eliminate the Flood's food and not the Flood itself? A: The Flood spread so quickly and so numerously that a wide-scale attack would be the ONLY way to eliminate them, and even then numerous pockets could survive. A single Infection form would be enough to ensure the Flood's reproduction - thus, the safest way to ensure that they are finished is to remove anything to reproduce with. Q: Has Halo been activated in the past? A: Yes. GS's statements verify this ("Why would you hesitate to do something you have already done?", etc.) Q: Why would the Forerunners activate Halo? Wouldn't this doom their race as well? A: While Halo would eradicate most of their race, the Forerunners themselves would remain living... by staying ON Halo! Halo acts as a sort of "Noah's Ark", preserving samples of life to reseed the galaxy after the total elimination. GS does say how grateful he is that "some of them survived to reproduce", and I don't think he was talking about the Flood there. :-) Q: Why is there a Library on Halo? A: Apart from preserving life, Halo is also used to preserve knowledge. The Library provides that function. Q: Why are there varying climates on Halo? A: To accomodate varying species that would be taking up residence there. Q: Why was Halo "necessary" for the Flood's survival as a species? Why would the Forerunners care? A: Guilty Spark is NOT referring to the Flood in that statement - he is referring to the Forerunners. Remember, GS is constantly talking as if you already know what he's talking about - therefore, he doesn't bother clarifying. Q: Why did the Forerunners preserve the Flood on Halo? Wouldn't they want to wipe them out permanently? A: The Flood were preserved for the same reason we preserver smallpox specimens - to study them in case something happens and another outbreak occurs. Halo was built as a last-ditch effort - the Forerunners would like to find another way, which is why they were kept for study. Q: Were the Forerunners robots? AI? A: No. Guilty Spark requires YOU, an organic being, to retrieve the Index for him. He then takes it from you because he knows that you are organic and susceptible to infection. Guilty Spark seems to think you are a Forerunner, doesn't he?
---------------------- If other questions are raised, I'll gladly add 'em to the FAQ and try to answer them as best I can. Feel free to poke holes in my theory! It's the only way we'll reach the Tru7h. ;-)
