In Response To: Re: Just Finished Going Through The Bestiarum (Hawaiian Pig) : Yeah, I'm gonna go with the suit interruption thing, it's fairly logical and : reasonable and doesn't require the viewer to suppose in some telepathy : business that hasn't existed in the series up to that point. What do you mean? Are you taking Bungie to task for using telepathy as a story point? When exactly are you saying that GM's telepathy has been added to the Halo story? How did GM tell the Arbiter that there was still time to stop the key from turning at the start of TGJ in Halo 2? : All of the Gravemind messages occur within flood levels, which can be
: All of the Cortana messages appear as sort of blips and transmissions and
The Beastarium explicitly suggests that a GM coordinates the Flood via some form of telepathy. Flood reastions become instantaneous or near instantaneous with no perceptable time lag with distance. TGOO makes a point of saying that inter-system comms are done by sending ships with messages or by sending messages in capsules through slipspace(?) So we would have to invent a subspace radio to explain Cortana's messages to the Chief. Unless HW has broken canon, such things don't exist in the Haloverse. Not only do they not exist, the Chief has one built into his armor. That would have been handy when he was on Halo, he could talk direct to Earth from the ring using his built-in hyper-radio. :-)
