In Response To: Let's visit the Jjarro (Steve Levinson) : Hamish isn't the only one who can extract possibilities from the original
: So, yes, a visit to the Jjaro would be a nice fit, and an interesting plot. One of the big mistakes in sci-fi is to eventually meet the "mysterious race". You find this happening in the 3rd or 4th book of some series. The writer eventually runs out of plot ideas and the only one left is to meet the race that created the strange artifacts scattered around the galaxy. When this happens you lose the mystery and it's usually always a let down. Thankfully Bungie and Double Aught didn't fall into this trap. The Jjaro are still a mystery and their artifacts are still to be uncovered. I believe the final screen in M2 set the scene for the then planned M3. There would be no Bobs, no Pfhor, possibly no S'pht, just you and Durandal off on a completely new adventure.
Cheers
