Re: could soon evolve or consume all?

In Response To: Re: could soon evolve or consume all? (Ciarán)

: Thanks for confirming that - now I won't have to get that recording :-)

: Matt, do you think it would be possible at this stage that Marty could
: provide definitive scripts of cutscenes and in-game speech like 343GS's,
: so that we can be sure that we have the correct text, e.g. on HSP? This
: would help prevent speculation that is based on incorrect information,
: such as "what could the Flood evolve into?"

: Ciarán.

Just to follow up, here's the earliest I could find where "consume all" is used in a post. Why did the Story Page transcript end up as "could soon evolve"? Some "official" scripts could solve this kind of problem, though it does reduce the fun somewhat. Perhaps if Marty (or whoever) could throw their eye over the level transcripts on HSP just to make sure that what's there is correct, then that may suffice. Also, if anything is missing, then they could just state that there's more to find, and we can go look.

On a related note, Skeletor has this interpretation of one passage:

"Well naturally The Flood is simply too dangerous to release, and thus sterilization protocols may again need to be enacted."

This contrasts with the HSP transcript:

"While naturally the Flood is simply too dangerous to release, my mass sterilization protocols may have been in need of being activated."

The phrase "may have been in need" jars with me, while "may again need" makes more sense to me. Another trip to the Library may be needed :-)
