Re: Why doesn't the Flood attack 343 GS? *Theory*
Posted By: Ciarán <halo@blackice.ie>Date: 8/26/03 6:44 p.m.

In Response To: Why doesn't the Flood attack 343 GS? *Theory* (Simpsons Rule)

: The Flood will attack sentinels, so it's not like they
: won't attack him because they can't infect him. Any ideas why?

The Flood attack Sentinels in self-defense, but 343GS doesn't seem to have any offensive capability, so he's no threat to them. Since they can't infect him, and he's no (direct) threat, they ignore him.

: After I played the Library, I decided to play 343 Guilty Spark (don't ask me
: why). I reached the end and something was really bugging me about how the
: Monitor took you. He introduces himself. Why would he introduce himself?
: He expects you to know all about the Flood, about Halo, yet he still feels
: the need to introduce himself. If he felt you were a Foorerunner, he
: wouldn't need to say anything. He tells you his name, his function, and
: the name of the installation. It just doesn't add up. This is exactly what
: he says...

: "Greetings. I am the Monitor of installation 04. I am 343 Guilty Spark.
: Someone has released the Flood. My function is to prevent it from leaving
: this installation. But I require your assistance. Come. This way."

: Any thoughts?

Lots :)

I think that humans have been engineered to include some Forerunner memories using Flood DNA, and perhaps over time we no longer have direct access to these memories, even though 343GS expects us to. There's nothing in what he says that implies that he thinks that we don't know about the Flood, or what we should do about them. In fact, Halo: The Flood further reinforces this, when 343GS seems puzzled that you don't know about the Flood. He does know that we haven't met before, so he's being polite :) He probably did the same with Sgt. Mobuto.

Ciarán.
