Re: Mantle: do want?

In Response To: Re: Mantle: do want? (Quirel) : I hate the Didact for whatever he did to turn us into cavemen, and I hate the : Librarian for thinking that she's better. Honestly, if her plans require : hijacking people's brains with genetically implanted personalities, maybe : she isn't as good of a manipulator as she thinks she is. Does 343 want us to think of her as the good guy? A player who doesn't read the books may think so but 343 seem to want us to doubt her. It's good that the Chief wasn't overly impressed by her or her offer. He seemed head free before he let her "evolve" his genome. Of course now all bets are off. : Self determination, I think, would be the most basic right for all species in : the Haloverse. It's a right that the Covenant denied with their hegemony, : and a right that the Forerunner apparently didn't put much stock in. You get as much self determination as they allow you. The librarian puts a political officer in your brain (a geas). : I guess the Librarian liked the thought of being a savior, seeing as how the : Spartan Program, MJOLNIR, and AIs are somehow all a product of her plan, : rather than being, you know, the inevitable result of technological : progress. And, ah, genetically modifying the Chief was the only way to : stop the Didact, rather than putting a padlock on his Cryptum and chucking : it into interstellar space. Or using nanites to eat it. : A more realistic scenario would be: "We're going to feed Africa!" : "Not with those GMO crops you aren't!" : "It's the only way to grow enough food!" : "We don't know what could be wrong with it! It might be worse than : nothing at all!" : "We're going to feed them, and that's final!" : "Over our dead bodies!" Are we the GMO? : That would require letting go of the villain ball. He'd need to shave off his mustache or at least stop twirling it. : So, now the Mantle is the Catalyst? My blood went cold there. Don't do that. :-)
