I'm having creative differences....with myself, over a few of the finer details concerning Chapter 13. Shouldn't pose too much of a problem, but I can already tell I'll be losing sleep over it tonight.
While I take this little break to fill you guys in, I might as well take the time to congratulate all the new stories everybodies been writing. Reading some of your own views on the Halo universe is awesome, and it really is a motivator.
Here's a few musings on my part, as I'm so often to give while working on a chapter of certain importance. Judging from my last few musings, you'll know they often pertain to the chapter I'm writing at the time, so if you want a sneak peak, check the next few things out and do a little thinking on them.
What do you suppose the life expectancy is of a Prophet? I've always kinda thought they were pretty much ageless, cause I recall the transmission in the Conversations of the Universe booklet, that Truth and Mercy refer to Regret as being young. If you ask me, he didn't look too young, unless that's what Prophets look like when their kids, and that'd just be really weird.
When did the Covenant discover the Halo's? When you look at the names of the Ages in the Covenant history, they lend credence to the thought that they knew of their existence long before mankind found them.
But wait, didn't the opening scene of Halo 2, regarding the trial of the Arbiter, kind of make you assume that the humans stumbling onto Installation 04 in Halo 1, was at the same moment the first glimpse the Covenant got of them.
Who let the Flood out on Installation 05 though? If the Covenant just stumbled upon it, then who released the Flood? It must have happened a long time ago, seeing as how the Flood had been capable of creating Gravemind.
Hmm, there's some kind of dastardly deception going on in the Covenant. I wonder just what it could be.
....blah, that's enough random mumbling on my part. Let me know what you guys think.
