In Response To: *Halo Spoiler* Re: Nice. (Rick Blaine)

: [snip]

: A very good argument. I guess we need to add the notion of 'self-sacrifice'
: to the list of requirements needed to pass the test. Consider a race of
: beings who is smart enough to find a ring, & curious enough to release
: the flood. If they aren't capable of killing _themselves_ along with the
: flood, they fail the test.

Heh, sort of meeting the new neighbours, who just happen to not be at home, but left the door open.
Ofcourse you don't stick your face in a flytrap, but a fly who's visiting should find the evil apperatus of its near doom endlessly fascinating.

: It's only sheer dumb luck (?) that that last *operational* Longsword was left
: aboard the PoA.

Luck is some major evolution-vector.

...[snip]...

: If we were at a suitably sentient level. When was the last time a Halo was
: triggered? 65 million years? 30 thousand years? I don't know.

Woohaa, Halo as the Dinosauerkiller? That would explain some earth-history :)

...[snip]...

: [quote]
: CORTANA: He's in my data arrays, a local tap!

: (Cut to 343 GS)

: 343 GUILTY SPARK: You can't imagine how exciting this is! To have a record of
: all of our lost time! Human history, is it? Fascinating.
: [close quote]

: "Human history, is it?" That's a question, *not* a statement. And
: why is he so excited? Has he ever even imagined the story of human history
: before this moment?

Perhaps 343 has been on standby for endless millenia, so he gets a general universum update aboutthe lost time(which exites him) in the flavour of human history (which he finds fascinating).
No need to look for Forerunners as the Gods from Above (Danikentheory), but a simple explanation on GS's reaction.

Tad puzzling is the plural 'our lost time', could this mean GS and his boss, the Forerunner? Forerunner has left the building? They're dead and GS's memory has (proven in the above quote, and he does has an annoying way of small talk) 'not been optimal'.
So if GS survived and the Forerunner not, maybe the FR are physical the opposite of GS and 'just a biological blip in the past', and nobody telled our despised little floating drone that while he was off-line, the Forerunner just died out/left the building.
(Which show a massive lack of interest in GS from the Forerunner)

: A very unique & interesting idea.

Yesh, me love storypage for exact these sort of collective puzzling, much :)
