Yes, exactly.
I think the Forerunners were some sort of Human-related race.
But I don't think they were Humans.

Wow.... wait....... did I just post the 1000th reply?
Okay...... Mr_Clark, have I won a prize?

In relation to the red blood on the station the two Lekgolo saw, if one might ponder back to the battle with Regret, who, when you hopped on his flying buggy thing and started giving him a taste of Spartan fist, spewed RED blood. This to me indicates that there were no humans there, just that the Prophets were fighting the Flood on the station before the rest of the Covenant, perhaps just a few days our Lekgolo turn up to investigate.

Whoa, 1000 posts, that's pretty crazy, especially considering that maybe out of the whole thing there's maybe 5 bump posts. You guys rock. I didn't even recognize the thread when I was looking for it. Just kind of chuckled when I saw some thread with over a thousand posts. Then I did a double-take when I saw it was the one I was searching for.

The prize everyone will get will be an awesome Chapter 14 that will be out by Friday at the latest. (crappy prize, but it's all I can think of)

At least we've got a semi-solid release date though right?

Turning himself around, Forru nodded at Iobu and motioned to the door, signaling for them to retreat. Iobu seemed surprised for a moment, before he saw the labored breaths his bond brother was taking. With one final shot at the parasite he joined Forru in leaving through the passage they had taken to get there.

OK, back to the story discussion. If the hunters are a collection of worms, it would seem odd that they breathe in a normally identifiable way. I can't recall but don't worms breathe through some sort of osmoses?

Also, concerning the red blood in the orbital station, it makes sense to me that it would be prophet blood. Maybe the prophets with their secretive nature sent out a party earlier to investigate what was found. And when they discovered the flood, decided to come back with their expendable alies. Just my thoughts, although, I'm sure Mr_Clark will correct me. If not now then in a later chapter. - LE

OK, back to the story discussion. If the hunters are a collection of worms, it would seem odd that they breathe in a normally identifiable way. I can't recall but don't worms breathe through some sort of osmoses?


I looked around and that's what I could gather. Breathing or respiration (the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen) is accomplished through the moist surface of the worm's skin. I figure however, that the Hunters are more complex species, if they are capable of emmiting a 'voice' either by growling or shouting, as they do in the game and in "The Flood" book; then they must have some kind of inner respiratory system that lets them have a secondary ability to take in oxygen. Whether this means they actually have lungs or whatnot, I cannot say, as I am not a bioligist, just a poorly educated writer.

As for the blood aboard the station, I won't say or rather, I can't say just yet. It is important though, so don't write it off as me just being confusing.

Maybe every organism in the Hunter's body has it's own bio-system.
You know, the Hunter breathes for hundreds (thousands?) of worms and together those worms can make noises.

Good enough for me. I figured you would have went with the more complex/evolved species argument. I thought of that too. But you know me, always digging deeper. Then again, we are talking about a game character that no one really has much information on anyway. So your spin on them works just fine.

I can't speak for your education, but if your creativity is on par with everything else, I'd say that to call your self poorly educated would be a lie. :) - LE

Just thought i would bring it back to elites now seeing as everyone is talking about the hunter pair. if lum is a famliy/lineage name i have two predictions a) the arbiter is a descendant of the lineage and got special treatment due to the fact that one of his previous bretheren (ie father, grandfather etc.) killed HPL, the prophets then became scared of this elite and then had him wacked (or maybe made him an arbiter?). they would then treat all of that lineage with respect rather than descimate them and cause uproar (that is why he was head of the halo strike team). they then drafted in the brutes for fear that more elites could nullify there powers. or b) there is something about the lum lineage that is connected in the grand scheme of things and the prophets are making sure that they are all in line.

probably totally wrong but i always specualte well chapter 14 days away.....

ps. i am thinkin of writin my own fanfiction but i really don't know where to start (i have the basics of the story) i just don't know how to develop it. i heard that there was a chapter or something that i could go to but i don't know which one. if you have insight or anytips please say so thanks in advance.

heh, one of my co-workers is bigtime manga /anime fan / fanfic writer (As far as I know anyway). I mentioned Mr_C's Ranma and he's been reading it ever since.
I guess Halo's not your only writing accomplishment!

Heh heh, nope.

I needed a pseudonym for when I first started writing, and since almost all of my stuff revolves around military/technical stuff, I decided to have not only a drama involving my story, but also my "Author's Life". It was mainly just a fun thing I did to get people involved in the story and have a deeper connection.

By creating Mr. Clark, I needed to give him a life to go with it. I don't do anything in halves so I gave him everything, a wife, military job, and a history. It was really fun doing that.

In other news, if anyone here has a piece of fanfiction of their own they want to post, but are unsure if its up to snuff, head to the 'Fanfictions' link in my sig, and post your stuff and the writers of bungie.net will give you feedback.

A pseudonym that has a story within it. You are quite unique aren't you Mr. C?

That's some interesting insight into the Hunters too, and once again you prove that you do research in almost everything you write, even small details like the respiratory system of the Hunters. I'd say your crazy if I didn't love it so much.

O_O you looked at your friends balls when "he" sat on your head O_o

That was great!! But why would the prophets bring the covenant to the outpost just to kill them? Surly the prophets could have hired some mercenaries!
