In Response To: Starhammer (big post) (Kaworu Nagisa) : Ahhh... Good morning! Why thank you : The influences Bungie took from this book are just so obvious that it borders : on plagarism, but it's more like paraphrasing. It has been discussed, many times, that Halo is a collection of lots of storylines, books, plots. Plagarism is a strong word - a controversial word. Use it wisely. : As the Covenant with the Flood, the Laowon have had a long history with the : Vang. Do they? I was under the impression the Covenant thought there was 'a weapon' on Halo. For this reason they were shocked when they found the Flood. If you mean there is a history of a relationship I understand. The Covenant follow their 'Gods' who led them to Sigmus Octa to find the location of the Halo. There they found this weapon, the flood. : So perhaps the Covenant are burning our worlds for fear that the flood is : present there, and we simply aren't aware of it? For the reasons above - I'm not sure. : "What is the matter?" they Bey asked. The mote hovered over the : cube and a blue spark passed between them. : p. 150 Oooh - can you find a 'Guilty' connotation because you might be on to something with him. : Other interesting facts. I seem to recall someone at Bungie saying they : wanted to make a level that looked like a war had taken place something : like 900,000 years ago. This is very similar to the planet BRF, or Baraf, : in Starhammer. The batrachians, similar to the Forerunner, had fought an : ancient war long ago with the Vang, leaving our space-time continuum : behind as they used the Starhammer to destroy their own sun in an effort : to eradicate the Vang. Their skeletons and ancient machinery litter the : surface of the planet. Interesting - but a common Sci-fi plot. : On rampancy: "But the computer malfunctioned, accelerated to maximum : speed, and kept it up for centuries." : "I wonder why?" : "Apparently it had formulated the 'Two God' problem for itself, a noted : hazard with some early generations of advanced computers, especially the : so-called tenth generation. It was a mathematical black hole from which : they hardly ever recovered, becoming obsessed with the need to prove that : they were, or were not, God incarnate." : p. 177 I'm all for Cortana being evil having ulterior motives. The mathematical black hole sounds a lot like Cortana's fate - she will think herself to death. How long has Cortana been operational? How long does she have to live? Will she start misdirecting the Chief? V. interesting. : On page 47, Jon is going to see a computer whiz friend of his, named Meg. On : his way, he turns down corridor 117... Evidence of a connection - or coincidence? Fifty fifty chance IMO : The Tru7h is out there... Indeed it is. And a portion of it may be in this book. *runs to the bookshop*
