Re: 343GS quotes and thoughts *long*

In Response To: Re: 343GS quotes and thoughts *long* (Erica Carr)

: That's a point that I was pondering on while playing the game today. As
: everyone knows, both Cortana and 343 Guilty Spark say that activating
: Halo's defenses and destroying the food (sentient life) would kill the
: Flood. So, if Halo had been activated before, and Flood members survived
: that activation, what or who is the contradicting factor here? Did 343 GS
: purposely save a few Flood members ("I am grateful to see that some
: of them survived to reproduce.") for his own knowledge? Or did Bungie
: maybe just forget a few details? ;)

I suspect that those Flood samples being 'studied' were protected from Halo's pulse. Given that 343GS invites the MC to view the research facilities 'later', i.e. post-pulse, it seems unlikely that a research facility full of dead specimens would be terrible impressive or of any use to anyone.

Could be wrong though... :-)

: Another question: if activating Halo doesn't kill the Flood completely, then
: why does 343 GS take MC, or Reclaimer as he mysteriously calls him,
: through the whole Library level to retrieve the Index? 343 GS would know
: that Installation 04's defenses don't always work 100% of the time. There
: has been speculation, perhaps it's been proven I'm not sure, that the
: other Installations were supposed to be activated after Installation 04
: but weren't. Could that be the deciding factor in the elimination of the
: Flood?

Well, arguably, the Library level could be just seen as a 'game' requirement loosely supported by the story. But I take your point. 343GS is obviously convinced that the process is worthwhile in the circumstances.

Overall, I willing to bet that Halo does 'do what it says on the tin', but like most things in life, nothing can be truly guaranteed.

: So many questions!! =)

Exactly. :-)

I just hope we eventually get the answers to them...
