In Response To: Re: Yet another Covenant-Flood connection Theory (kapowaz)

: Sounds interesting, in particular the deifying of the Forerunners because of
: their ability to contain the flood.

: Unfortunately though, Cortana's specific wording when she first realises what
: Halo is would seem to make this unlikely: “The Covenant found something,
: buried in this ring, something horrible, and now...they're afraid.”

: That kind of implies they'd not encountered the Flood before, and that
: finding them on Halo was an accident.

I don't see any implication at all. The Covenant did find something horrible buried in the ring, and now they are afraid. Why? Because they know the sheer potential for destruction inherent in the Flood.

Besides: "'Do you think we'd really wipe out the Flood?' Jones asks. 'The Covenant have a long history with them'" (EGM Halo 2 preview). Sounds like they've encountered the Flood before to me.

: I really wish I could find a copy of Starhammer though, it seems pretty much
: impossible to get hold of...

Well, I have a copy, but I don't know how much it would help you. It's got some interesting tidbits, but it's certainly no magic wand which can unlock all the secrets to the Halo story.
