Re: Mantle: do want?

In Response To: Re: Mantle: do want? (Jaydee)


: I came to the conclusion the Mantle was a load of baloney given by the
: Timeless One, meant only for the Precursors, and realizing it was a lie
: and that their gods were evil was the reason so many people commited
: suicide after talking to it. They were god-like arrogant creatures, and
: once the Forerunner tried taking the Mantle, we got to see that they were
: negligent, hypocritical bastards.

: In the H3 terminal, the Librarian berates (Bornstellar?) Didact for still
: attaching himself to that "fairy tale" after everything that
: happened, particularly in the last 300 years.

: But, we would be facing two choices: Either taking care of all sentient
: species with an iron fist, or having all sentient species trying to kill
: themselves, much in the way humanity had it with the Insurrection?

Apparently earth has taken in Covenant refugees. The multiple species of crims seem to be getting along just fine on Venezia. So I don't think that there are only two options: totalitarianism or annihilation.

I wonder what Halsey's opinion would be? She may regret past actions but if she truly believed that what she did was necessary then why would she change her opinion? Would her emotions trump her intellect?
Would she go with her feelings and cook up a rationalisation to justify a decision not made from reason?
