Re: Give this theory a try... *spoiler*

In Response To: Give this theory a try... *spoiler* (Thaumaturge) Hmmm...Intriguing theory. Wouldn't that be an ironic twist of fate. No matter which way you look at it, events seem to point to some sort of time paradox. Running with your theory it would seem that these constructs - created by our descendants turned anscestors - may have housed the flood only to have humanity itself initiate their release. In essence, the very facilities designed to contain the flood has become the instument by which they were unleased upon the galaxy. These thoughts actually lead me to some other points. If you haven't read Fall of Reach DON'T read this paragraph. In the book, cortana was lead to Halo by an artifact which was essentially a star chart. Keep in mind the reputed age of the artifact (I can't quite remember the exact age but it landed in the tens of thousands of years - 60 000 rings a bell but I'm not entirely sure). If humankind DID go back in time to study the flood (to prevent the calamity that would eventually occur), wouldn't it make sense to leave clues around so that their research wouldn't be lost? That would explain why they left maps around in the first place - so that their knowledge could outlive them. Also, if humankind DID in fact wish to prevent a catastrophic future they may have deemed it an acceptable sacrifice to wipe out all life rather than have the flood in existence. Tying in with our Halo characters, as other people have already said, it may be entirely possible that the Master Chief fires up the Halo. Perhaps when he did so, he was hoping to kill off the flood before they could propogate in the future/their present. Maybe he activated it knowing that it wouldn't affect Earth (perhaps it was out of range) but it did affect some Covenant species. If you think that he wouldn't kill off other species, maybe he would if he had a chance to wipe out the Covenant before they could attack humankind. Another irony...His actions might have caused the Covenant hatred to begin with. So many possibilities... : *** THE HUMANS BUILT HALO *** : Now before you start to analize just what exactly I've been smoking, hear me : out. : My thoughts are based on what 343GS says. : In the last level when he short circuits Cortana's attempt to self destruct : the ship, pay close attention to what he is saying... : He shows his disgust at her attempts to destroy "the lost links to _our_ : past". This is in reference to your ship and technology which he is : going do something like "really enjoy taking his time in : cataloging" it or something or another. : Damn, I wish I had it hooked up to a vcr to record it. : Anyway, this coupled with other threads talking about the time travel stuff, : is starting to make me really think that this might be the case. : Somehow, long ago, us humans used our incredible technology to travel back in : time to build the Halos that try and contain the Flood. Somehow, the flood : must wipe us out in the far future, and we go back in time to analyze and : eliminate The Flood.(Think "The Terminator" movie) We use the : Halo system to try and contain the Flood, but it failed in the past and we : had to activate the Halo system, which pretty much wiped out everything : including most of us. : The Covies have learned of this somehow, and are desparatly trying to wipe us : out in order to prevent us from making this same mistake over again in our : "Current Future." They have access to the reminants of the older : technology somehow have figured this out. We don't realize what we are : going to do because we are stuck in our continual time travel loop, : because we don't know about "Our Past." : The Covies are actually trying to save The Universe, and Humanity is actually : "The Bad Guys" that don't know it yet, but doomed to destroy : everything... : This scenario would make sence of the 343GS conversations. There are too many : threads to post here, but doing a quick search would bring them up. : I think the "Humanity conquors insumountable odds to find out that it is : its own worst enemy in the end" fits nicely into a Bungie-esque : theme, don't you? : Put that in you pipe and smoke it, : Thau
