Re: I don't get the Forerunners thought process...
Posted By: JinnoDate: 7/14/05 1:28 p.m.

In Response To: Re: I don't get the Forerunners thought process... (Zeh)

: Agreed. I'm sure the Forerunners, being an advanced society, had some plans
: for life after "total destruction", but my dialogue means to
: point out how they got the idea for defeating the flood.

: This has probably been covered before my time here at HBO, but why didn't
: they (and maybe they did try i don't know) Flood Specific bio weapons,
: Implant chip that detects flood viral toxin and causes spontanious
: combustion, Human Cardboard cutout decoys to confuse the flood, or use the
: "Shock and Awe" tactic?

Alright, time for the useless Jinno input.

They couldn't use Carboard Human Cutouts to confuse them, because Flood sense flesh. Cardboard isn't flesh. They should've just replaced their flesh with cardboard. Problem solved... 'cept for the violence of them all. I think they tried to make something detect flood virus, but the project failed.

I also believe that the Forerunner were probably thinking more like this:

F1: Well... its been 2 months and we still can't figure out a damned thing as far as destroying the flood.
F2: We did say that if we hadn't come up with anything after 2 months we'd kill off everything.
F3: But that was before we knew ANYTHING about these things.
F1 and F2: Shut up Fred.
Fred: ;-;
F1: Well... We'll destroy ourselves using the Halos. We'll keep more specimen on the rings for the sentinels and monitors to try to understand.
F2: What about our still not sentinent farms on Earth and High Charity and other planets?
F1: They can fend for themselves once they evolve.
Fred: But what if they manage to develop jet propulsion technology, and manage to fly themselves onto the rings. What if they let the flood loose, and face another outbreak?
F1: Fred.... They aren't sentinent, and even if they BECOME sentinent, they'd still be the dumbest creatures in the universe.
F2: Just in case, we'll make the system recognize the non-setinents from Earth as "reclaimers" just for you.
Fred: BUT I DON'T WANT TO DIE.
F2: Dammit Fred, we agreed that whoever pulled the short stick would choose the plan. YOU GOT THE LONG ONE.
F1: And I got the superior Short one. And the ladies love me.

F4: Shut up. I'm initiating the countdown sequence. Say good bye to your sentinence.
