Re: A few halo theories

In Response To: A few halo theories (MC vince)

: I posted a few halo theories a few days ago but it hardly got any responses.
: Any ides are most welcome!

: On the Libary GS says "This installation's research facilities are most
: impressive! Perhaps you will have time to see them later." This is a
: puzzling statement as he seems so eager to fire Halo's main weapon, does
: it go off after a certain time, time enough for people to get off halo,
: forerunner prehaps.
: Or does it go off straight away, if so surely the MC would be killed. Maybe
: the monitor suggests he upgrades to a class12 suit, so he survives the
: blast.

It strikes me that 343 may be referring to after the blast as "later". How would the Chief survive? Your theory is "well concived", but perhaps that anything ON Halo during the blast is not affected. THIS is interesting indeed...

: Which leads me on to another point if a class twelve suit survives the halo
: blast, then surely the forerunner could use it to stop being infected by
: the flood while observing them, which could suggest they were sentient
: life.
: Again this dosn't completely make sense, as if they were protected from
: infection why design a weapon to destroy life in the galaxy?

To prevent OTHERS from infection? Assuming there were other races at the time of the forerunners.

: I am also surprised at some peoples belief that the human weapons are
: inefective "Puzzling. You brought such ineffective weapons to fight
: the Flood, despite the containment protocols." I know some people
: have said shotgun kills flood with 2 or three shots, but what I understand
: of the containment protocools to be, that flood must not leave Halo. Now
: the weapons seem pretty useless, as it neither stops the flood trying to
: leave halo, or does it make them stay on the halo.
: Another, but bizzare possibility is, that the monitor believes that the
: marines are the weapons, with the MC as the leader. This is similar to the
: way flood are seen as weapons. With the humans being so realativily easy
: to take over then the flood would surely find it easier to escape Halo
: with more bodies, and theirfore break the containment protocools.

VERRRRRY intersting, yes....

: As for one of the most famous quotes in Halo "The installation was
: specifically built to study and contain the Flood. Their survival as a
: race was dependent upon it. I am grateful to see that some of them
: survived to reproduce." I always thought it was the flood he was
: talking about. With the reason he's happy that some of them survived
: being: for example, say hypothetically you built an ant farm and the ants
: survived, then you would be glad to see some of the ants survive.

But if that is true, why would the flood need to be contained in order to survive? Wouldn't they need to be released to in order to survive to reproduce? Do the flood even reproduce? I think not, being that it is a virus, and viruses would infect something.

: But what
: if the monitor is talking about a different race entirely, "The
: installation was well conceived". By the foreruner? Maybe, but they
: were the ones who built it. Its like an invention being well recieved by
: the general public. But the person who built it was the inventer. So it
: seems as though another race must have around with the forerunner. Maybe
: the forerunner(s) lived liked the covenant with different class systems.
: Leaders(maybe people who were pleased by the Halo creation),
: scientists(the forerunner) and maybe another race, but any suggestions
: would be very helpful.

No comments

: Another theory that other people have asked is why the chief is not affected
: by spores but elites are. The reason is a) the shields produces an
: electrical charge which stops the flood being abled to embed itself into
: him. b) Maybe the master cheif is able to be infected, but we never see it
: as it takes so long, we only see the MC a couple of seconds after his
: death. I have also noticed that when a spore enters it host it disapeares,
: but we never see the process happen. from convenant to flood.
