In Response To: Re: Multiple Outbreaks & Installation 04's history (Ciarán) : Now I always interpreted this in the context that the current release of the

I never considered the current one catastrophic though. I always figured that 343 GS was just using his AI brain to calculate the potential vectors and thus he decided that if it wasn't stopped, it would be catastrophic.

Such a thing could mean not only death to the commander but also his/her entire family. : Ciarán.
