Re: My Halo/GS/Forerunner theory (in FAQ format) *

In Response To: Re: My Halo/GS/Forerunner theory (in FAQ format) * (Rookie)

: It also preserves the flood. Killing everything within 25,000 light years was
: a secondary function necessary for containing the flood.

I never said anything to the contrary... but the preservation of the Flood wasn't the driving factor in this. Containment certainly was one of the key factors, though.

: [RE: At least 4 Halos, possibly 10 or more] Do you have a source for this information?

Guilty Spark's introduction. "I am the monitor of Installation 04." Firstly, that implies 3 other Halos, and the presence of a 0 indicates that the number may be intended to go above 1 digit.

: 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.

It's my opinion that the "spores" are actually the Infection forms themselves. We're dealing with alien biology here - who's to say that spores are universally microscopic.

: I don't think there is any guarantee that stuff on the Halo would live,
: asides from flood. When MC unites the index with the core, Cortana keeps
: the pulses from occuring. 343GS says something to the effect of, 'that
: wasn't supposed to happen.' My personal opinion of why he says this
: concerns his amazement that the MC didn't drop dead on the spot.

There's nothing in-game that states this, it's simply a logical conjecture on my part.

: [RE: The Library's purpose as a knowledge store] And to hold the index. We wouldn't want to forget that.

Certainly. :-)

: This is an ambiguous topic. There is no way to verify that GS was talking
: about the Forerunners.

And no way to verify that he wasn't. I'm simply running on the idea that GS assumes you know what he means. GS always acts that way, you'll notice... as if you've met before.

: [RE: Containing the Flood to find "another way"] Another way to do what?

Another way to eliminate the Flood without wiping the galactic slate. Like I said, the Halo activation was probably a last-ditch effort, and the Forerunners would CERTAINLY like to get rid of the Flood with less "collateral damage" if possible.

Thanks for your comments - I hope I clarified my meaning. :-)
