| Re: On reprogramming the Flood | |

In Response To: Re: On reprogramming the Flood (58) Maybe it's just my inner pessimist spurring me on. I took Cortana's "shoot" response to Gravemind's query as a sign of "I'm ready to deal," rather than a confident reply to an enemy (?) she's unafraid of. Gravemind, is afterall, something of a moderate party in relation to the Covenant/Human doings. And with the Autmn, I'd always thought of everything after Guilty Spark as a kind of 'You're on your own now -no support, no allies' scenario. You have to admit, you run into no live marines after that point...only Johnson stranded alone. So - maybe I was wrong about the engines. But, I think Gravemind is pretty damn powerful, and given his thirst for assimilation, Cortana may not be safe by default. I sort of feature the end of H3 as a Romeo & Juliet sequence - Chief trying to rescue her, finding her corrupted by Gravemind: Being told to terminate her - that she can never be allowed to interface with any human technology ever again... Yet Chief cannot destroy the one woman in his life. So he remains alone on a decimated world...a forgotten hero holding onto the one being who could ever remotely relate to him. The Spartans were an interesting project. Helpful to humanity in a time of need. Yet time marches on....
