im sorry if everyone alredy knows this, i just figured it out, and i can't wait to tell it.

i finally realised what the monitor meant by "Why do you hesitate to do what you've alredy done." in the book, the flood, the monitor talks to the MC as if they have alredy met. he also refers to the MC as 'reclaimer,' and talks about a previous person the monitor called reclaimer, as if he and the MC are the same person. the previous reclaimer was a fourrunner, and activated halo because the flood could not be contained. this reclaimer knew what would happen if halo was activated, and asked the monitor what to do. "having considerable time to ponder your quary (the 101,217 years the monitor had been left alone on halo), my answer has not changed, there is no choice. we must activate the ring." this means the monitor told the original reclaimer to activate halo, and of course, he complied. since this reclaimer alredy activated halo, the monitor asks why this new reclaimer would refuse to do what "he"(remember the monitor thinks all the people he has called reclaimer are the same person) has done before.

yes that is pretty much it, and the fact that GS is abit crazy from all those years of solitude makes it make sense that he doesn't distinguish him from the reclaimer he keeps refering to master chief as

maybe the forerunners beliefes were that the second time the ring would have to be activiated, it would be by the reincarnation of the original reclaimer. So GS talks to him like its the same guy.

XBL: FTG Spartan
But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting in to an infinite pattern.
Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.
Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.
I know who you are.
You are Destiny.

halo doesn't kill flood, it kills there food, maybe all but a few died and those few were put back in halo

OMFG!!!! if halo was fired b4 , then 4runner artifacts could be on earth we could be decendants coz all those years are enough for humans to start up again, so MC is a forrunner!

dnt piss on my bonfire, jus say wt ur thnkin





this means that ig MC had fired halo, then evolution would have started all over again!!!

Ok, where have you been the last year! we went over this before! There is something on earth fromthe Forerunners most likely but we dont know what!

Maybe the flood feasted on the weaker flood to stay alive???

or they slept. Like bears do during the winter ( I have lost the word for it), or flood spores could lay unactivated, and then when conditions are right, reactivate, like plant seeds can do

I would also like to note that in The Library, 343GS comments:
(Paraphrased, I can not remember the exact dialouge)

I am glad that some of them survived...

Note that the only way they wouldn't have survived is if the Ring had been activated before. Further proof that yes, Installation 04 has been activated.

Does anybody know how far Installation 04 is from Reach, and Earth? I have not read the books, although I've played through the game quite a few times.

I am glad to see that some of them survived to reproduce. He is NOT referring to the flood, but rather to the Forerunner, because he is talking about the MC. (at least thats what I think)

Remeber the quote of GS "its so wonderful to have a record of all our lost history"(level maw). We are forerunner descendants(or atleast there slaves), which is why we understand there language and such. now just to mess with you, why to the covenant PROPHETS (not necisarily the other races) wish us dead? Do they know something you don't? Hmmmm....

He says that because Master Chief has gone through hell to get the index, and he does not understand why now he is not doing the simple part of it all.

Guilty Spark already knows about humans because if you shoot him in the Library he sometimes yells "stop being so human!" but this could just be a random line thing.

I am glad to see that some of them survived to reproduce. He is NOT referring to the flood, but rather to the Forerunner, because he is talking about the MC. (at least thats what I think)

Also Solid Snake i'm afraid your wrong, when he states some of them survived to reproduce he is referring to the Flood because if you put his full statement together it goes,
"This installation was specifically built to study and contain the Flood, thier survival as a race was dependant on it. I am grateful to see that some of them survived to reproduce."
Read it through, its obvious GS is reffering to the flood not you as a possible forerunner.
Sorry to burst your bubble, solid snake.

This may be very far fetched but maybe humans have already activated the ring. Maybe 100's of years ago or maybe he recognises you because a spartan I activated it, nothing is known of those though this is next to impossible and i urge you to disregard it and not use it in arguments.

The Flood layed dorment until new visitors arrived so it was like a long hibernation and yes, it is quite obvious the ring has been activated before (at least installation 04)

which makes GS slightly crazy (or awful programming) because he contradicts himself. His sinlge goal is the elimination of the flood through the use of the halo instillations but hes glad to see the flood survived? He must have gone crazy through all those years of being alone. (just like a little ai in marathon).

yeah, in The Flood, it says that over time AI's can become crazy. and the monitor has been alone for over 100,000 years

Guilty Spark ran into humans along Halo 04 before he ran into the Master Chief... so he would have some idea on how people act... and stereotype it.
Remember, the Halo ringworlds were meant to contain and study the Flood. The Forerunners didn't want to destroy the specimens that they had, so they altered the targeting programming of the Halos' weapons to destroy things that were not on the Halo ringworlds.
