| Yet another Covenant-Flood connection Theory | |

I posted this some time ago. I was particularly proud of it (perhaps without cause) but it never really got much attention. Since the forum seems to have gone into overdrive on rampant story speculation, i'd thought i'd bring it back in it's own thread, and see what you guys think. ----------------------------------
Your Military strength comes from your advanced technology, which, in turn, you have pirated from the artifacts left behind by an ancient and advanced race of aliens, whom you refer to as 'the Forerunner.' Over the years you have come into contact with one race, and one race only, that has ever withstood your strength or defied your philosophy. In fact, this race would have consumed you centuries ago except that, through a severe scorched earth policy (and sheer dumb luck), you have managed to escape their threat without further contamination, though personal losses were high. That race is known as the Flood. In no engagement have you ever been able to escape with a sample of the Flood, living or otherwise. Hell, in no engagement have you ever been able to 'escape.' So you know little about the Flood, how they live, how they evolve, how they...die. But the Forerunner did know. In fact, their apparent ability to control the flood is what has caused you to deify them. You are aware, from the Forerunner texts you've discovered, that a sacred object, an object you call Halo, was once used to study and contain the Flood...and might actually still contain living samples of the Flood in stasis. In addition, the texts hint that the Halos also contain some weapon of enormous power that can destroy the Flood for good. So, your standing orders to all ships are as follows: 1) If information concerning the whereabouts of any Halo installation is discovered, the acquisition of this information and its safe return to the Home world is of the highest importance. All other objectives are secondary. 2) Should a Halo be found (through whatever means), then:
I apologize for the second person exposition, but i felt it was the easiest way to explain this one. * - or whatever it is by which the Covenant swear oathes. | |
