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.”

Being aware of your standing orders in a clinical sense, and then coming face to face with that evil itself are two very different things...especially if you have an instinctive fear of these creatures. On top of that, at least as my theory goes, they were expecting to find inactive examples of the flood. Not fully-active-gonna-lay-some-eggs-in-your-torso examples of the flood. I think i might have made a mess in my Methane-filled environment suit as well.

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

Is the monster that you know any less scary than the monster that you do not?

: That said, the idea that they knew the ring contained some sort of
: superweapon would be a logical cause to deify the forerunners, although
: that isn't *that* new (“According to the data in their networks, the ring
: has some kind of deep religious significance. If I'm analyzing this
: correctly...they believe that Halo is some kind of weapon. One with vast,
: unimaginable power.” - Cortana in T&R).

Oh, given. I didn't necessarily make any huge leaps in logic there, i just linked some pieces together that may not have been obvious before.

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

It's no longer being printed, so your best bet is to find it used on the internet. I believe Louis gave some links with which to get started.
