In Response To: Re: My thoughts, probably wrong! (protexts) : Well, protocal does not mean: "determine every action" of the : construct concerned. Actions are just ways of completing rather specific : ends not specific actions. Ask yourself, "Why does he try to kill the : Reclaimer?" Because the Reclaimer isn't doing his job! It seems : highly plausible that the first protocol rule is to activate Halo if the : flood get out. The reclaimer's life is a secondary issue since the : reclaimer is a means to an end. As far as teleporting goes, what does that : have to do with free-will and protocol? That he has powerful means of : transportation does not equate to powerful means of controlling his : actions. : Based on what? He was built by Forerunner. He's a construct, a complex : program, and his code, written by Forerunner, is inside him, is him. : The only thing I see stopping 343 Guilty Spark is the fact : You're forgetting he has internal constraints not just physical external : ones. He's a program designed to carry out a range of finite functions: : monitor the flood, make repairs, locate the reclaimer, activiate the : halos, etc. If he has a place in Halo 2, I would bet on him continuing : along those protocal lines with the next Halos. But that depends on a lot : of "ifs." Remember the conversation he has with the MC? "Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed." I think the fact that quilty spark was pondering over this implies that he has quite a bit of free will.
