In Response To: Prophets know that Humans are Forerunners! (BINARYGOD) : I have a small theory to kind-of add onto Mr. Bananas Last Theory : (http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=791609). Let’s : take his theory, ignoring (or not – whichever) the whole “reseeding : process.” If all of what he says is true – that basically Humans ARE : forerunners and we are ‘Reclaimer’s” of our lost technology and history : (Halo’s, other Forerunner installations, artifacts, etc…) – perhaps the : Prophets actually know this. Well, kinda... : This might sound odd – why would the same race you consider god-like and : responsible for creating all of that which you find holy now be considered : inherently blasphemous and therefore in need of extermination? This is : after all the race that defined the path to salvation and created all of : this great technology that leads to it, among other advantages. : Well lets think about what the Covenant and the Prophets think that Halo will : do. Mercy says “Halo. Its divine wind will rush through the stars, : propelling all who are worthy along the path to salvation.” So the : prophets sort of misread what Halo will do. They think it will propel : those who are worthy into salvation and leave everyone else behind, or : perhaps the know it will kill everything but think that the worthy ones go : to ‘heaven’ and everyone else goes to ‘hell’ - sort of like judgment day : in the new testament of the bible. : So, if humans are forerunner, and the prophets know this – then any humans : left over after the last activation of the Halo’s would be unworthy of the : great journey – as anyone who was would not have been left behind. This : would make it so that any humans left behind are not worthy and are : therefore inherently evil and worthy of annihilation. : This is further backed up by something that Mercy says to MC just before he : dies after being attacked by a Flood spore on High Charity: “Earth. To : finish what we started. And this time, none of you will be left behind.” : None of “You” – who is he referring to? Since Mercy is only talking to one : person and that person is a Human, he must be referring to all Humans when : he says that. No one say’s ‘all of you’ or ‘none of you’ to a single : person unless they mean every person like that person. Also – ‘this time’ : implies there was another time in the past. : To wrap it all up – the Prophets, and perhaps Tartarus (but probably no one : else in the Covenant) know that Humans are the forerunner, their gods. : They know that humans (forerunner) built everything (Halo’s, artifacts, : ect…) and know the path to salvation, but those who were worthy were taken : to salvation by the last activation of the Halo’s. All those that were not : worthy are killed. Obviously something went wrong and some unworthy humans : survived – therefore any humans that still exists are an abomination and : must killed since that is what was supposed to happen in the first place. : This also explains why the covenant allowed other races to join but never : gave us a chance and just wanted us eradicated. This is also why they view : us handling Forerunner objects or setting foot on the Halo’s as heresy. : This also, while dependant on the idea that Humans are Forerunner, adds : more weight right back at that theory. Hmmm, my theory based on someone : else’s also backs up that theory. Neat. If Truth is headed towards Earth were the Ark is (hinted at by the ending of H2 and the E3 2006 Trailer for Halo 3) - then we know that the Ark does indeed set off all of the Halo's (as GS basically says). Just in case Tartarus fails on Delta Halo - Truth is on his way to the Arc as a backup solution to set off the Halo's so that everything dies - worthy ones go to Salvation and unworthy ones just die.
