In Response To: Good Job (wraith7n)

Hi, yeah I just thought maybe I should post it again with paragraphs so more people read it.
"Hi, my first post. I was just wondering about something... I'm not sure if it's been posted before but here goes.
Has anyone ever noticed how if you play Silent Cartographer in say... easy or normal and you have a lot of marines alive by the end of it?
If you go back to where you left the marines instead of getting inside foehammer... all the marines are dead with no apparent signs of conflict, no blood, no bullet holes, no plasma scorch's simply a lot of dead bodies with a lot of grenades and guns lying around.
Ok so heres my theory, I tried to post it on the halo story page but it never got put up.
I think that there is another "Thing" on the Halo it could be alien, an AI or even something totally new, I think the whole time that MC and Cortana were running around it has been running around also.
The thing is possibly the cause for the Floods initial release! Does anyone remember GS343 stating that he believes the "Other" race on the ring is to blame for the floods release?
So maybe, just maybe this thing was both the cause for the deaths of those marines and it could be the escaping convict because it's hitch kicking on Cortana.
I think, that it was something the Covies had found in or on the Halo (cos they looked as though they had been there for quite a while before the UNSC showed up) and they had it imprisoned for killing some of their guys.
Also as to the change in Cortanas appearance, this could have nothing to do with her being possibly infected by this new creature (Which is possibly some kind of mutating alien virus, eg it can be either physical or digital)maybe her appearance changed because she no longer trusts MC to do what she says.
Or maybe even she is just a little cranky from her time within the core.
But I'm pretty sure it's probably because of the possibility that while in the core the thing not only infected her but also took over, maybe the thing can’t control her appearance, only her voice, so maybe the angry look and evil eyes is merely a product of Cortana Raging inside her own head.
And that would explain the lying also, obviously this thing doesn’t want survivors, they make things difficult.
The second betrayal in Two Betrayals could actually be Cortana being forced to betray MC by having a "thing" inside of her.
And that whole thing with destroying the generators... do we know for sure that they were generators? If so then it’s possible that these were generating some kind of force field that stopped Mr. Thing from escaping Halo.
The last thing I’ve noticed is that after The Library Cortana randomly insults MC, she calls him a "Barbarian" a few times and I seem to recall something else as well.
So as for Cortana being the convict... possibly but only because she’s under the control of something far more sinister.
It is also possible that before she was inside the Core she was a normal AI but after being infected her time in her prison mind has turned her rampant.
So maybe in Halo 2 the thing will leave her and go off to do its own thing, maybe it won’t be back till Halo 3 but by that time Cortana has gone completely nuts and starts killing people.
In Halo 2 I think that Cortana will do something really, really, I mean devastatingly bad and will be destroyed post-hast, but the thing she does could have something to do with GS343, he will turn up also in the next game.
Possibly he is imprisoned by Human forces and she lets him go and he tells the covies about Earth. Wow, that’s a lot of speculation. What do you think?"
Ok, so now I would like to mention something else, you know how on Halo there are those big buildings that shoot that blue stuff (that looks strangely like covie plasma)? Ok so I couldn’t find it anywhere but do we know what they do yet?
See I was thinking... maybe they are some kind of power generator or maybe like a force-feed generator... You know how the seem to shoot at the other side of Halo?
Maybe to create enough power to make a force-field capable of keeping in the flood, the beam has to be shot right across space so it can gather enough speed and energy to keep the flood contained.
Just my thoughts.
: Good job, I admire the way you took the criticism and didn't go and rant and
: have a fit. Sometimes forum oldies can be kinda harsh. A lot of people get
: All uptight and insulted. Kudos to ya.
