Is there no end to this rabbit hole? Deeper and deeper we go with no light as of yet at the end of the tunnel.
And of course I am one to extend the tunnel for as long as possible, ensuring that everyone reaches their breaking points in anticipation and then finally give them the briefest of glimpses to the truth, and then visciously tear it away and leave them in the dark once again.
Well plenty of good reaction from this latest chapter (no complaints about the sorta not long length either!).
Seems most people are wondering about the Forerunner, and whether I am one to pool my beliefs in the thought that:
Humans = Forerunner
There are a few things you can gleam from my writing so far.
1. The Forerunner originally created the Flood in an attempt to infuse themselves with the Flood's regenerative properties, essentially bestowing upon their race eternal life. This of course turned out to be a collosal mistake.
2. From Truth's mental ramblings last chapter we've discovered that the Grand High Prophet of Law was created by the Forerunner. Or better yet, he was an experiment carried out by the Forerunner. Does this mean the Forerunner created the Prophet's as a species? I can't say...
3. In Chapter 13, during the Covenant History chapters, it was revealed that the Forerunner did create some form of A.I aside from the Installation Monitors. If you'll recall Ido Naslum and Romsunee encountered an A.I that was in the form of a Forerunner.
4. Most obvious of course is the fact that the Forerunner did not kill themselves off completely when activating the Halo Installations. How did they survive however?
Lastly I'll leave you with the passing thought that, while my base ideas on the Forerunner are structured off of some common beliefs, where I go with the idea is a direction I have yet to see anyone take.
So look forward to plenty more surprises in the future.
