Wow that was soo good, its been worth the wait. Luckily i had the new Harry Potter book to read over the last couple of days or i woulda gone crazy. That book has so many unanswered questions and mind boggling twists, it reminded me alot of Clarkes story.
Wd clarke, eagerly awaiting the next chapter...

Phew... a lot of mysteries added in this chapter. Atoning Deviant... WTF? Taken from Halo 01? Well... I gues I'll stop trying to understand it and wait for the next chapter, since it's giving me way too many aches....
I have nothing to say but: Well done, fantastic, superb, keep writing and keep the mysteries together.

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.

He watches every Hodgetwin video they put up...on ALL their channels. He calls them the Hodge Triplets, and considers himself the 3rd triplet. He's started talking and acting like them now. Every other line out of his mouth "Thaaas some BULLLLLL**** maaayne" or "Gotta make dem gainzzzz". He calls his biceps "gains". When he eats post-workout, he talks to his biceps, "Don't worry gains, I'm feeding you. Daddys gonna feed you, gainz *kisses biceps*".

"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?"

Heh, funny. As soon as I read this in review of your post so that I could make mine, Mr. Clark, 343 Guilty Spark's words popped into my head,

"Why, the Ark, of course!"

The Prophet's homeworld, the Elite's homeworld, and Earth are the three Arks, I believe. It makes perfect sense: the three races destined to clash have the three Arks.


The way I see it, the answer to all of these other questions is going to be extremely unusual. If Mr. Clark thinks like I think he does, then he's going to answer it all with one blinding, gigantic revelation that's either so far out no one thought of it or so simple no one thought of it. I don't see how you can answer every question there is simply, but Mr. Clark is clearly a mastermind of such things, so I suppose we'll just have to wait and see...

There are some interesting things to point out, though...

Of Halsey and Kelly, what does Kelly mean when she says, "So the monitor wasn’t lying when it said we’d need to upgrade before we could continue on." Now Kelly says "we" meaning that it couldn't be an upgrade for either individual, which makes me think it means...

... an upgrade involving their ship. Keep in mind Kelly says "we need to upgrade before we could continue on," therefore they must get a new ship, I think it means. I suspect that that little research station could possibly be the very one Naslum was killed upon in the Covenant history section... we'll soon find out, though.

the only forruner that died were the ones still in the milkyway galaxy. the seven halos are only meant to destroy life in our galaxy, not the forruners. and remember that truth said that they were awaken. mabye the were resurrected.

If you are hinting at a forerunner vessel then I might be inclined to agree. - LE

hmm i wonder if the forerunner ship looks the same as the 1 truth is in. Ir might be different though. We will find it though.

Sweet i'm back, and from Mr. Clarks point of view it's obvious that he thinks humans=forerunner, and i'm obviously stateing the obvious, obviously...

But anyways, i'm not sure if truth's ship looks the same as the other forerunner vessels, but the Brutes have an entire fleet, so more than likely they don't look alike, unless...

Nope. I was speaking in regards to how people seemed to think that I leaned toward that theory. Right now you can't really gleam anything from my writing that would define exactly who I believe the Forerunners are.

Basically the most you can assume is that some Forerunners are still alive, and they obviously do not like unannounced visitors...

Yes, that's precisely what I'm hinting at. The next obvious question is where will they head once they get it. I have an eerie feeling it will be the Elite's homeworld, after all, that seems to be the place everyone is meeting up at (Keyes is headed there).

so is kelly gona die too?? The other spartans have died, so will she have the same fate as the other spartans or is Mr_Clark gona save her. Thats my big question.

Tone down Sgt. Johnson, don't make him so 'bad@ss', he's isn't that strong in First Strike he had trouble lifting a fuel frod gun so you don't need to make him like a 2600 century Rambo. Your portrails off, but nice work.

WAIT! If you said the monitors were never supposed to tell a lie then why did 343 say that the forruners killed themselves of when they first activated the Halos, this was also repeated by Gravemind too! Plus where did Atoning Deviant come from?

343 Guilty Spark does not know all about everything. He probably doesn't even know the Forerunners are alive. Gravemind may not know, either. Atoning Deviant came from Installation 01.

Oh, dang, I missed it.

Here's the short version, it's dead, but don't feel like we failed, because we didn't, but I can only explain that in the long version, lol.
