In Response To: Cortana lying to Foe Hammer (Mark Simmons) : I mailed this to halostory a few days back, but thought it might be of

: Being specific, Foe Hammer says: "Echo 419 to Cortana. Things are
: ...and Cortana replies: "Negative, negative! We have a wildcat
: Now what does she mean by 'more damage than we thought'? : Is she implying that cracking the engine shields has caused the engines to
: If so, why is she appearing to hide the fact that it's due to her and Master
Ok... so you assume Cortana would say to Foe Hammer "We just initiated an uncontrolable self destruct, on PURPOSE! Please pick us up?" Sorry to attack your rather fun idea, but I think Cortana would rather take the time to tell Foe Hammer the details LATER, rather than risk delay or indeed abandonment. : For that matter, why have none of the other human forces been ordered to
You miss the point. There are no "other means". Humans, except the cheif and his small group, got their @$$es handed to them. Remember what Cortana said, his primary mission became the prevention of firing Halo, everything else was secondary. Hmmm... save a couple buddies, or save the galaxy... idunno... tough one... : As it is, after Halo's destruction, Master Chief asks Cortana 'did anyone
Ah.... so the cheif shouldn't inquire? Why not, I too would be concerned with the lives of those around me... even if chances were null... : As an aside, but connected with this, is the issue of getting off Halo. At

=\ small plot smear i agree. But like I said before, the destruction of Halo was much more important than the survival of the few scattered marines (if they had not already been infected....) : However, given that her second choice is Foe Hammer, does that imply that a
Id assume so.... a fighting chance anyways... : I don't know. But whatever, the Cortana/Foe Hammer exchange near the end of
: The question is, why? *ahem* didnt want to come across as insane? like I said before "We just set the fusion reactors to blow! We've insured the death of everyone EXCEPT us! We're not crazy! trust us! pick us up!" nuff said? : ---------
: And what about "Warning: Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Convicts." Has
lol, its a JOKE man. Cortana and the cheif have just slipped in under the noses of the Flood and the Covenant, set a 'bomb' to kill BOTH enemies, and are trying to escape their own doings. Its almost comical... : ---------
: To which I replied: --------- : Indeed... : Cortana, in. Cortana Plus, out. Certainly plausible (if that's the direction
: Don't get me started! ;-) : Of course, arguably, it could be seen to imply that 343 Guilty Spark is the
: It's interesting to note though that Cortana refers to her 12 hours in Halo's
: Moving on though, if she was 'watching' MC and 343GS during those 12 hours
Nuh uh! REMEMBER, Halo could NOT be activated without a HUMAN HAND. I doubt it could be disarmed without something similar... perhaps nothing less than a direct command by the builders. Cortana may have a library of data at her hands, but it is doubtfull that the system would allow her full run of the shop... : Plot defined to allow for game play..? Possibly... Because she couldn't..?
: Here's a bit of wild, crazy speculation though: If Halo is capable of killing
: 343GS states: "The installation was specifically built to study and
Hey... life is life. We erradicated small pox.... why did we keep samples of it in labs all across the world? Im not sure myself, but we have. Science sometimes tempts people to do things... that would normally seem insane. "OOoooo this thing kills and injures quite well! we shouldnt be so quick to destroy it completely..." : If, by 'installation', he means Halo, then his comment implies that it's
Ahhh... you miss the point again! The flood would be nearly POWERLESS without their hosts. Had they escaped without the VAST amounts of hosts (covies and humans) they would be little threat to the installation (halo). : What if destroying Halo in that manner doesn't actually guarantee killing the

mmmm i still think it is more of a science station... there doesnt seem to be too many weapons and seeing that there is very little keeping you from leaving.... i dunno : 343GS: "The Flood must not escape the installation. They could soon
