Re: Here's my big question about your theory.
Posted By: Red Loser <dnannery@purdue.edu>Date: 12/9/02 12:51 p.m.

In Response To: Here's my big question about your theory. (ThePerfectCore)

: No, but I am.

: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the Pillar of
: Autumn's hole in subspace is what attracted the Covenant to the area, not
: Installation 04 itself. Remember, they were just following cruisers and
: corvettes that were trying to get the F out the system Reach was in.

"Believing they were being led to an undiscovered human world, yes, the vast majority of the Covenant fleet which destroyed Reach followed the Pillar of Autumn to Halo (a minority of the navy's AIs actually disagree with this, believing instead that the Covenant followed the Pillar of Autumn because they had already found the Alpha Halo and wanted to prevent the humans from finding it as well)." -Jason Jones

(From http://www.bungie.net/perlbin/blam.pl?file=/site/1/news/stories/jason_jones_interviewed_by_you.html)

: Also, there were several Covenant vessels that attacked the PoA - but only
: the T&R landed, and that was because it was damaged. Whacking humans and
: releasing the Flood was a side effect.

: This would be a good time to refer back to my "Don't Tap on the
: Glass" statement. The Flood can bash through doors and other such
: things. This happens just as we arrive on Halo, so why didn't they do it a
: few thousand years before? Something must've woken them up.

Yes. That something was probably the Covenant. Maybe the Flood were in stasis, and the Covenant released them (accidentally or on purpose).
