In Response To: Re: Prophet of Truth and the Great Journey (Ragashingo)

: Agreed.

: Well assuming that Truth does have something planned he must think (or know)
: he will not be killed by the Halo's.

: Yeah. The letter form Coral in the Conversations from the Universe booklet
: made me think the Arc is not on Earth, but on Coral, which might have been
: glassed already.

the letter of coral is open ended. yes their is a forerunner installion on coral. however. there is no evidence to suggest that this installion is the ark and not just a regular forerunner installion. there was a forerunner installation on reach (according to the books) and there have been installions on many other planets as well.

However in the game, by interpation of the cutscene, it is suggested that the ark is on earth or the surrounding area (ie the moon) or truths ship. this does not mean it is. but there is suggestive evidence, where as with coral, there is no suggestive evidence that that installion is anything but just a forerunner installion.

: 343 GS seemed to think it was going to fire within moments of Keyes grabbing
: the Index, I think thats a safe time frame to follow.

: But doesn't that set off the other Halos?

: Agreed.

: If there had been the Humans would have been taken into the Covenant many
: years ago.

the reason why now verus anyother time. is because mercy is dying now. and time is short. even the elites wonder why the humans haven been given a chance to join. Either 1) the prophets have something against the humans, or 2) the prophets were just holding out a little longer, to crush our spirits a little more, making us more subsecting to joining. (the one thing humanity wants more than anything is an end to this war, humanity as a whole doesn't even know about halos existance, the prophets must believe they needed to crush human moral a little more.
Did the grunts, jackel, drones, etc not get forgiven and accepted into the covenant even though they probiliy resisted at first. all species joined into the covenant had there turn at being the enemy, the evil one, disbelievers. you can neither prove or disprove that the other speices got called names like demon too, this is because of the limited knowledge of the covenant culture.

there are just some many gaps in truth disbelieving. like his move for going to earth, and mercy saying something about killing all humans, and halo is going to be actived. when you combien those three, it creates problems.

like if halo is going of, and truth knows the truth, then he knows everyone is going to die.
mercy said truth was going to earth to kill all humans.

but why would truth need to go to earth is all the humans will die from halo. there is no point.

unless you make it a point that the ark is supposed to save him.

but if the ark is on earth and protects, we create do different problems, each based on the ark protects.
-if earth is out of halos range. then all the humans will leave when the ring goes of, but all the covenant will die. but this contridicts mercys statement of killing all humans.
-if halo has a shield. then everyone but truth dies which so far no one can find a reasonable movative why truth would want to be the last one alive, exspecially considering all the power he would still have if every one was still alive (he is a hiearch, and the only living one, so why kill all your followers) plus, this still contridicts mercys words because truths going to earth had no influence on killing all humans.

want to change up the meaning of mercys words, fine, but there will still be condrictiory gaps. the biggest being motive. since no logical motives can be drawn, do we plead truth to have sponatios mental insanity. this would make for a horrible story, with no suggestions or hints toward truth going mad, truth insanity would be spontaious, and having a character just spontaously go insane for the purpose of plot makes for a crappy plot and story.
