In Response To: My Halo/GS/Forerunner theory (in FAQ format) *SP* (NthDegree256) I'll take a stab at ya'. : Q: What does Halo do? : A: Halo eradicates all large, sentient life in the surrounding 25,000
It also preserves the flood. Killing everything within 25,000 light years was a secondary function necessary for containing the flood. : Q: How many Halos are there? : A: At least 4 and possibly more than 10 Do you have a source for this information? : Q: Why was Halo designed to eliminate the Flood's food and not the Flood
: A: The Flood spread so quickly and so numerously that a wide-scale attack
I don't think that it would even require a single infection form. I heard somewhere that the flood operates at its lowest form as a spore. I couldn't tell you where I heard that however. I think the main reason why the flood would survive the pulse is because their lowest form IS the spore, which is probably nearly indestructible, and possibly the reason why Covenant Elites can be infected even with their sheilds on. : Q: Has Halo been activated in the past? : A: Yes.

The
And to hold the index. We wouldn't want to forget that. : 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?
: A: Guilty Spark is NOT referring to the Flood in that statement - he is
This is an ambiguous topic. There is no way to verify that GS was talking about the Forerunners. : Q: Why did the Forerunners preserve the Flood on Halo? Wouldn't they want to
: A: The Flood were preserved for the same reason we preserver smallpox
Another way to do what? : Q: Were the Forerunners robots? AI? : A: No. Guilty Spark requires YOU, an organic being, to retrieve the Index for
It was the Marathon Marine dammit! j/k -Rook |
