Re: Why 343GS thinks MC should know what Halo does

In Response To: Re: Why 343GS thinks MC should know what Halo does (Ciarán) : Firstly, I'd like to point out that I'm basing my info on the ebook version : of FoR, which doesn't have the last chapter (when they arrive at Halo I : believe), and so I'm not sure if Cortana explained there what she did. : Anyway, perhaps she was only looking at some of the symbols in the rock, : and there's other symbols that explain the other things I mentioned. I think the age of the rocks was stated earlier in the book. There's a timeline for FOR on the HBO.bungie.org site that also talks about it. : Secondly, I should remember to put down in writing the other things I am : thinking :-) My thoughts followed on from an earlier post I made that : talked about the rocks/asteroids being part of the firing of Halo. The : pulse goes out first, wiping out sentient life. Then the rocks are sent : out to seed the galaxy with life again. The rocks also contain a warning : about the Flood, and what to do if they ever turn up again, including the : location of the weapon that can stop them spreading. Perhaps the : Forerunners couldn't be sure that they had permanently stopped the Flood, : and if they're like the Vang that's a pretty good possibility. It would : make sense then to leave information for the new inhabitants of the : galaxy, just in case the Flood managed to live that long. Very nice thoughts. I think it might be time for me to resurrect an old theory of mine. I'll post it in a new thread. : So, the Halo could have been fired 100,000 years ago (or more), wiping out : sentient life at FTL speeds, then the asteroids were sent out at non-FTL : speeds, and seeded life throughout the galaxy, with the asteroids arriving : at different planets at different times, sometimes successfully : engendering sentient life once more - possibly by enhancing existing : non-sentient life on the planet. There's no-one waiting for the Reclaimer : (except 343GS maybe) in the sense that there's no immediate threat from : the Flood. Not that anything on this forum is really original, but you might know that I may have been the first (at least in recent history) to suggest that asteroids were used by the Forerunners to reseed the galaxy. So I whole heartedly agree with your theory as being viable. : Just some more (hopefully clearer) thoughts :-) : Ciarán. Thanks for the clarification.
