Re: Halo at end credits of Halo:CE

In Response To: Re: Halo at end credits of Halo:CE (Hedgemony)

: Oh, the possibilties.

: 1 - The elites may have evolved on the Halo. Gradually as time progressed
: their numbers grew to the extent that they used up all the space on the
: Halo. Housing such a large population would use up all the water and all
: of the land as well. The need to process water from offworld may also be
: an option. If they like water or need it. Remember that one of the
: multiplayer levels is a covie hydro processing plant. If they did evolve
: on this halo then it could add some fuel to the thought of races being
: able to survive the Halo's pulse while on a Halo. Also to the thought that
: the Halo's are seeding grounds for races to evolve after the flood
: epidemic. The blue pulse's may be sending lifeforms in a DNA stage to
: various worlds. Perhaps an automated process using the regenerative aspect
: of the flood as a catalyst.

: 2 - It would make sense for a race in fear of the Halo's to set up base on
: one.

: 3 - Religion. The elites may use the fact that their homeworld is a Halo to
: their advantage by proclaiming themselves the chosen people of the
: forerunners. If other races were to need proof that the elites were indeed
: holy people, take them to your Halo homeworld and astound them with your
: advanced technology.

: That's if the Halo in the credits is a different one. I think it is.

: -Hedge

I'm fairly sure I've written about the possibility of the covenant being a ring construct. But my reasoning was that it was the most plausible reason to have a Halo in Halo 2, wich I believe has been hinted at or comfirmed. It would also point to why the Covenant have an understanding of Halo's subsystems, and why the symbols on their backs match those found on Halo. I wonder if perhaps the monitor of their installation installed himself as god to the fledgling people, I mean if you think about why else would an advanced civilization continue in a cast based religious system, unless there was indeed some super powerful being controlling them. It also would explain why humanity is a target of the covenant. What would be a greater threat to a renegade AI than it's creator ? A rogue monitor would also explain why the covenant have not simply become all powerful using forerunner technology, if you had installed yourself as god, you wouldn't give away all your secrets. Also it ties in with my personal favorite idea, of the Halo incident, being an attempt by the elites wrest power from the prophets by gaining control of a Halo.

Anyway, I would bet the covenant homeworld is either another ring construct, or some other kind of forerunner station. And though the monitor controlling the covenant is plausible, it seems a bit off for whatever reason. Anyway I may have to beat the maw again and take a look at it.
