In Response To: My...three bits? (YamiyoNaito)
: Hello from my dark corner. As with Metatron, this is my first post here but
: let’s see if it’s worth it. Since I don’t really know where to start I can
: only start at the beginning of Halo, the game. As I haven’t read the
: books, but read many speculations. So here goes my uneducated ‘guess’, I
: think calling it a theory would be hoping for too much.
: Firstly, the POA gets to Halo: Installation 04 and finds Covenant nearby. Due
: to the time fluxuation, maybe Dr. Halsey and her probable ‘dead’ Spartans
: went to Halo and the Covenant tracked her to that area. I might’ve said
: something about AOTCR’s whittling Marines but that may be paranoia. So,
: onto the level “343Guilty Spark”.
: As you make your way to the crashed Pelican, it’s obviously from the past
: raid that came through. There are no bodies around, just ammo (And a
: shotgun for the lucky ones) so they must’ve gone inside. Or were the ones
: attacked by the Flood when the MC is reviewing that recording from
: Jenkins. Soon enough, there’s a crashed Covenant Dropship, that’s
: certainly explainable, especially with it’s odd positioning. Seems instead
: of being shot down in flight, it was dropping off some troops as it was
: attacked. The drift of the anti-grav might send it into that vertical
: position…backwards…against a tree like that. So apparently (and obviously
: when you watch the movie) the Flood were already out. The Covenant were
: there before you and the other Marines, and when the Marines moved through
: the Covenant locked door, they unleashed the spores. The spores couldn’t
: have all died, and there aren’t any Marine bodies lying around in there,
: just lots of blood and ammo(Don’t you just love the way we get supplied?).
: But then, why are so many Covenant bodies lying around the place, were
: they too dead? There are some Covenant still in the facility, so they
: must’ve picked off the spores. But let me step back to being outside the
: facility before moving forward. After the dropship, Jackals, and Grunts
: the MC makes his way valiantly across a big tree that fell over, the trunk
: of it. Well, for those with a quick eye and ability to move even faster, a
: big Flood Warrior is standing on the top of that hill…directly in front of
: you. He merely turns away and you never see him again (Unless you look,
: like you would for Mendoza in the trees; find a dead Flood Warrior). So,
: that image to me proves that the Flood are already out and moving around.
: Plus, via the route you get Mendoza and can then drop down at the entrance
: of the facility, although Marines are not there. Certainly there guns are
: (floating by telekinesis of the advanced Spartan-III’s? …No.) And so some
: group of humans were going down. I say humans even though I’ve seen a
: Flood, because a frag grenade goes off. I don’t know any Flood that used
: grenades. Just to support that humans came in right before you, as soon as
: you come to the room with the faulty ‘blinking’ lightbridge, two Marines
: are getting slaughtered across the way or underneath you (You know, with
: the double Camoflauges). Wow, I think I rambled on that and lost my focus…
: Oh, maybe the Marine that starts shooting at you is there to tell a part
: of the behavior of the Flood. But, he may also think you could be
: infected, as no one would be able to tell with that armor over the MC. Due
: to so many Marines seemingly left to die…3…I doubt the Master Chief came
: back through from the future-to-the-past because as a soldier he wouldn’t
: leave a man behind, let alone three. Possibly when 343GS greets you,
: Metatron is right, possibly not. He may be simply taking a precaution to
: meeting you. For in the ‘past’ he might’ve spotted multiple Spartans and
: not recognized you until he heard your voice, as he can’t see your face.
: Or something similar.
: The time loop is indeed a problem. It depends on what thought of time travel
: you’re going with. It appears to me there are three. One is that when you
: go to change the past, it is the past, so in reality you changed nothing
: because it was supposed to happen like in (In Bill and Ted’s Excellent
: Adventure, weren’t they able to think of doing something and have it
: happen for them as if reminding themselves to do it in the future which is
: their past?). Second is the “Back to the Future” that is when you go to
: change the past, you change the future because the past is changed. Where
: the third, meets in between them as the Harry Potter version. You may go
: to the past and know the past for what it is supposed to be, but have to
: make sure that it is the past it’s supposed to be and doesn’t fumble. Hrm.
: As far as I can tell you’re either going in Number One or Three’s
: perspective. For the Number One, if MC goes back to Installation 04 in the
: future-to-be-past then he has nothing to worry about and will do as he
: does. Which is why 343 Guilty Spark eventually treats you as if you had
: done it before. Maybe those blue beams coming from the towers in the level
: “Halo” are actually the Ring preparing to fire. But that would mean the
: Index would have to be taken back to the Library, maybe not something too
: hard to do…but no one wants that level again, right? Or, Number Three: MC
: knows what he has to do because he’s seen it happen out of the corner of
: his eyes, so to speak. So then he keeps the strand together because he’s
: merely doing as he feels was done.
: But, not to worry, as the MC wouldn’t forever be stuck in a continuous time
: loop. Look at it this way: POA arrives, MC destroys Halo and leaves, comes
: back to Halo in the past, leaves before Halo explodes after doing what he
: was supposed to, and goes on his way from there while the other MC goes
: back in time and does it again without the knoweledge of doing it twice.
: He wouldn’t reset to going back in time repeatedly(even if he did, his
: mind would eventually crack from doing the same thing over and over that
: he would drive himself insane, thus destroying the loop...if his body
: didn't wear down first)
: That seems like enough, and I’m tired. You can totally diss me on this, just
: felt like pointing something out.
I'm not suggesting that there is a loop in time that the MC is "stuck" in. I mearly suggesting that the event of more that one MC should be taken into account when looking at the broader (1) timeline... not multiple timelines:)
