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*".

"Traitors? People have filled up over 80 pages with a debate whether Cortana has joined the Flood or whether she is still loyal. We don't need something like that filling up this thread anymore, i mean no offense."

Dude, I don't know what you're talking about. All I'm saying is that we should look out for betrayal in Mr. Clark's fanfiction, because one of the best elements to get you into any story is when someone you think you know turns out to be someone you don't know. It gives you anger/joy/emotion of any sort, so it gets you involved.

the Ender saga is amazingly written, partly because of Card's technological innovations in the story, partly because of the plot twists, and partly because of the way he makes every conversation like a high pitched battle, with everyone dodging comments, and countering each other, and analyzing every syllable.
its awesome.

ya rit now im reading shadow of the hermage and im almost done. go bean!!

hey i dunno if anyone can answer this question but mr clark seems to know alot bout halo so im gonna ask it here.

what if the humans used the ark, activated all the rings and jumped into SLIPSPACE? would they still be effected in slipspace or would they survive the weapon?? and wasnt halo suppose to kill all lifeforms so the flood have no host, but will it kill the flood??

In reguards to the flood/gravemind evolution thing:
The flood grow tentacles because of the infection for that is in their chest. Johnson did not have an infection form in him, yet his arm grew tentacles. The only thing that could have caused this was the previous gravemind which took off his arm. Which leads me to believe that graveminds can infect people and create new graveminds. Or at least people who have been injected by the flood, but not posessed or killed, will become graveminds. But the latter case would not explain why only his arm was infected. And is it just me, or did captain Keyes (Halo 1) look like he was turning into a gravemind.

My theory is that when Johnson's arm was severed, the flood cells had enough time to ,"coagulate" if you will, into enough of a form that a Gravemind could connect with.

Yes but with his arm gone does that mean Johnson has now expelled the Flood DNA, that was in his body? By severing his arm has he cut all ties with the Flood? I personally think so.

The planet hadn’t changed at all since the last time he had seen it. The desert sand that covered nearly the entire planet was still around, and if pillars of fire and the corpses of other Prophets were strewn about, the landscape would be identical to the last time he had set eyes upon it.
.
.
.
There is an evil here, one that will slaughter us all should we awaken it.

His withered body protested the action of moving about, but the Prophet of Truth was not so foolish as to use his hover chair out on the planet’s surface. He had ordered that any and all technological devices be turned off, and never used. The same went for their weapons. Truth knew that even the slightest hint of artificial power could have them be detected.
.
.
.
It cannot be, how did they find us so fast!?

Shrouded in robes that were thick and flowing, a lone creature stood on the far horizon, staring at the assembled Covenant members with curiosity.

The Jiralhanae Captain looked back at the creature in confusion, and then turned to the Prophet of Truth.

“Your eminence, what is that creature?” he asked.

“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.”

-----------------------------------------------------------
Holy smokes!
Great Chapter!

Loved the ending! So Truth is afraid for his life and knows that the Forerunner are so advanced they know when technology is near. Hopefully the Forerunner will wipe out Truth and his band of misfits, then reclaim the ship and bring order to the vast galaxies. Truth remembers his home planet, hmmm, old bugger isn't he. I'm guessing in some Prophet vs Forerunner war, a group of Prophets managed to steal the ship and somehow get away leaving the Forerunner stranded there. The Prophets must have destroyed any other ships and then run off to start "The Covenent" as we know and hate them today.
It appears that the Forerunner also live a freakishly long time and they would love some payback!

That makes me think of some theories...

Prophets just want to use the halos against the last of the Forrunner...

This ship was the only surving ship from when the halos were activated... and thus was the ark or was near/on the ark.

WOW! The ending made me practically forget the whole rest of the story! Don't get me wrong, the whole thing was sweet but wow! Anyway, loved the chapter! Keep it up!

Mr_Clark, this is truly one of the best stories I have ever read, even though its not finished. I just wanted to ask if you could so kindly e-mail me whenever you add more to your story. I would greatly appreciate this.

I'm not Clark, but here are my thoughts
the ark will not kill Flood in all fairness, though it will have effectively done so with the death of all life. as for the slipspace, i dont think there is enough upfront techno know-how to figure this out, since in reality faster-than-light travel doesn't exist, and probably never will, by todays standards of physics. the foremost physicists and Einsteins general relativity show that nothing can go faster than the speed of light, making all the concepts of the FTL drives merely clever innovation and speculation on the part of intuitive beings, with the Hyperspace of Star Wars, Slipspace of Halo, and molecular idontknowwhat of Ender Saga,since what Jane does to teleport them is almost impossible to describe.
so in closing from my odd and offtopic, not to mention broad suppostion, there is no way to know if Slipspace would really prevent there deaths, though it very well could in theory.

speechless
all i can say is WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW OWOWOWOWOW OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOW
very good you must be a writer
I WOULD PAY YOU TO WRITE!!!!!!!!
after reading this i wouldnt mind paying to publish it lol
anyways my thoughts:

johnson wont become a flood or get a new robo arm, nor can the flood control him. when he uses the regenerative rpoperties of the flood in large amounts liek when he reatached hsi arm for instance, it spurs the mutation process of the flood cells.

jan might get over herself and don the mark VI armor from the spartans for the good of inspiring the marines on the roof to fight on. Then when MC learns of it he finds that his whole family is not and he is not the last spartan.

I think graveminds assemble over time and the remains of the last gravemind where built upon and thats why he was so small.

halsey and kelly are gonna pay a little visit to the prophets planet.

From what the prophet has said, the prophets fought the forunners and left the planet because they where losing.

Lastly i think the MC and arbiter will end up sacraficing them selves to initiate a new process,that the forunners have created, that will kill THE FLOOD, themselves, and not there food. maybe just one of them will die but who knows. its all up to the great mind of MR.Clsrk.

If you ever get publishing rights contact me and ill gladly donate to have this published!!!!

I have a few things that i have to address(sorry if this has been stated already, i don't have time to read all the posts.)

This won't make sense at first, but it will come together in the end. First of all I will talk about the forerunners. They are somehow related to humans, am i correct. If you notice in the book "The Flood" 343 Guilty Spark speaks of the cheifs armor and said that it was only a level 2 armor and he should be equipped with a level 12(Somethin like that). For guilty spark to know this the forerunners must have developed this technology(duh) When the Prophet tells the forerunners about how the flood have escaped then they will be furious, and they may just have to send one BAD ASS army to kill the flood. And they will most likely feel somewhat close to the humans and they may just feel the need to protect their own kind.

Just my 2 cents that is usually wrong

ONLY spartans can wear the armor because it would itterally SHATTTER ANY regular person... so pay more attentiion...


Ok Prowlaz, Jan = SPARTAN 1.1, don't be so quick to judge . . .
