Prowlaz you have quite the imagination, to say the least.

Mr. Clark I know that you are probably numb to praise by now but......THAT WAS AWSOME. Like Prowlaz, it would seem your imagination knows no bounds. Please keep up the good work.

If im not mistaken when master chief and fasul were talking about taking the whole injection things i believe dr halsey mentioned the process on how they become spartans to fasul. so i guess that he did know, unless he has a really bad memory.


and is it just me or is prowlaz a really hyper little kid?

No, I think he just needs to lay the crack pipe down for a few seconds and back away from the computer.

Wow.... what happened? The last thing I can remember is finishing the chapter and feeling a little dizzy, now its three days later...

The only conclusion I can come up with is THIS CHAPTER WAS BRAIN OVERLOADIGNLY INSANELY GOOD!!!

Ps. My theory is that, The half-breed is the ‘forunner’ that’s hanging with the prophet of truth - cause of the whole sustenance thing, where he needs it to live and that he got sustenance from Truths soldiers but they had not been harvested ,turned into flood, so were not that nutritional and how insane it was at fighting - and to back this up, if you think about it there’s no way it was a pure blood like Fasul because they all got wiped out when the installations fired but the half-breeds could survive because they had developed counter technology to the rings (chapter 22). It can’t be gravemind because he is flood; well not entirely he is more a forunner, I think. Gravemind equates to a Forunner, “Destruction is creation. We are what they strived for, what they desired to become. – (Gravemind, Chapter 7)”. Fasul even hints to this in chapter 22 when he says, “I am not a Forerunner in true form, and I can only hope I never have to experience the truth that comes with making the transformation. ’Forerunner’ is a word that was created by the race my kind fought against”, the pain of assimilating, being destroyed then created into a ‘Gravemind’ is what he hopes he will never have to experience, even though he’s a hologram… (I use Gravemind for absence of a better name, as most likely this is a singular name like john or Cortana etc.) They were trying to use the regenerative etc. properties of the flood to live forever and the result was a Forunner; therefore, by process of elimination and smart thought process. The half-breed has to be the ‘Forunner’ dude with Dr Truth, if you go back and read chapter 22 you will find that Fasul says (cryptically) that one has awoken from its sleep etc. " the last transmission I received from the planet where the Half-Breeds sleep was quite troubling, and if what I fear is true, then this universe will need Cyriacus’ power to escape the fate", a couple of earlier chapters back-up this idea that they are in-fact the half-breeds, they are from when the prophet of truth is unwillingly sent through slip space to an unknown planet on the Forunner ship.
1. “The device fell from his hands and clattered to the ground.
By the Gods, we are heading for the birth place of the Prophets! (Chapter 15)” this is what the prophet of truth does and says at the point he realise where the Forerunner ship is going to exit slip space and land.
2. There is an evil here, one that will slaughter us all should we awaken it. (Chapter 18), Truth says this forebodingly when the Forunner ship lands on the planet after exiting slip space.
3. That,” Truth said, his voice dry and cracked. He cleared his throat, his eyes never leaving the figure that stood, watching them.
“That is a Forerunner (chapter 18).” Prophet of truth calls this half-breed misguidedly a Forunner, just like Dr Hasley etc. call Fasul's hologram a Forunner when first meeting (would go into more detail why Truth calls him a Forunner, but i'm trying to not write an essay).

4. The Forerunner was in reclusion! Why? Why have they been awoken? (Chapter 19), says this as he runs wildly back to the Forunner ship while is soldiers are being cut down around him.

I’m not going to go into the plot-line e.g. what may or may not happen, but I just thought I may add my thoughts to the widespread speculation of which there will be no end until chapter 23.

Did i just own, as in link everything together Mr Clark... Was I even close

I dont know what to think. The chapter was probably my favorite so far, but John-117 is gone. The MC is no more. I feel like crying. I hope he wins the mental war waging between his own conscience and that of Cyriacus. I think we all want MC to find peace, but not like this. Im saddened. :(

She did talk about the augmentation done to John but she didn't say when it was done or if anything else happened. This is just my thought of course and I could be totaly wrong. I was only wanting to point this particular thing out to see if anyone else had the same thoughts.

where have we heard that before? lol gees, just a little snidbit for you to think about in the wait for 23 : im sure most of you have heard about the Spartan character in DOA4, right? well her number is like 458 or something, but in the books it said : "But we have onehundred and fifty test subjects to consider, and facilities and funding for only half that number." : Thats a direct quote from doctor Hasley on page 27 of FoR. That would mean that the spartans numbers would go up to 150.... seee the conspiracy and the flaw in it, and even then there would only be 75 of them that they could consider, they didnt screen 458 so all of this is really messed up. What do u think?

I've been wandering about that, but I really don't know what to think.

Black Chapter, for all religious and political debate that doesn't fit in the Flood.

Bungie did say that the back story would be plausible, if notably tongue in cheek all the way, so try not to think too far into it, its a nice addition to DOA4, and probably has a funny back story, so just wait and see :)

Oh, great chapter... musta been sat with my eyes glued to the screen for almost 45 mins... which is a hell of a long time considering i read a 500 page book in 6 hours.... but hey, i didn't see that one coming, and now have no idea where your going... but damn is it good.

Enjoy your sabbatical, just remember, you have a legion of rabid fans wanting feeding... not meaning to add pressure... :p

Nah, were cool to wait and discuss the chapter... and we'll try not to start flaming each other again... not saying im not guilty of that... anyway...

Hmm, Fasul said that they had trained their Reclaimers from a young age to withstand the trials put before them when they became true Reclaimers, and that John had not and so he would die from having too much strain on his body. However, John was trained from a young age as most, if not everyone knows. So is it possible that Fasul didn't know that?


I agree and I think you might be right. The same thought occured to me as well. So this could mean that the master chief could survive, right? Allthough it would be nice to see the Master Chief live on after the war it would be awsome if he went out in a blaze of glory ending the war or something like that. (but it would have to be him in control, not Cyriacus)

As to the therories about gravemind, I think that he might be either an advanced form of flood, mabey a brain form, or a half-breed flood mix. So then what are the Half breeds? Well I think they may be the flood combat forms of the majal because of this line.
The creatures with whom we fought were our brothers…our sisters…our families
Or they were reminants of the society that lived on the planet the flood were found. But they must have flood DNA in them to live so long.

OK those are my theroies, probabally wrong, but still, its possible, isn't it? And yes I am a bit behind the times.
