Re: Why 343GS thinks MC should know what Halo does
Posted By: Elf Lord <oneelflord@yahoo.com>	Date: 3/14/03 3:21 p.m.
In Response To: Why 343GS thinks MC should know what Halo does (Ciarán) : I've been thinking about those symbols in the rocks on Sigma Octanus a lot : recently, and I came up with a possible explanation for why 343GS thinks : we already know what the Halo does. : What if the rocks contain not just the location of Halo, but also warnings : about the Flood, and instructions on where the Halo is, what it does, and : how to use it. Any race that can work out the symbols in full would : understand what the implications are of firing Halo. : From 343GS's perspective, anyone that has arrived at Halo must have been : following the instructions in the rocks, and therefore understands the : implications if the Flood escape and Halo is fired. He is then : understandably surprised when he discovers that MC doesn't know the import : of what they are about to do. This could also explain his comments about : the type of weaponry we bring, and the class of our armour. If we had read : the manual we would know that we would need better weaponry, etc. : Now, there's a possibility that ONI has fully deciphered all the symbols in : the rock, and that they want to get their hands on the Flood - the : ultimate weapon that can turn the tide in the war against the Covenant. : Perhaps this was what the Circumference was going to do? : It's also possible that the Covenant have fully deciphered the symbols, and : are trying to locate all the Halos, maybe so that they can wipe out the : Flood entirely, or perhaps just to get control of them just in case : someone else (like the humans) get their hands on them. : This still doesn't explain why 343GS seems to think he's met you before :-( : Ciarán. That's a pretty well thought-out theory, as far as I can tell, but in The Fall of Reach, Cortana compares the symbols to star charts, not dialects. How do you say "this is a weapon" in a star chart? -EL
