I was playing thru this section of the game, and at the beginning of this level, in the cut scene you see the prophets talking about how they found an Oracle to help them find the Index. You can see that 343 GS is held in this beam of light, and he is absolutely quiet. No humming, no "Hello,I am 343 GS" etc. What did they do to him to shut him up?

The next time we see him, he is more than eager to inform us of what he knows about the Halos. But in the 1st cut scene he zipped his metal lips. Anyone know anything about this?

Respect, most likely. Just think about it. The most jumpy and loud-mouthed character in the game, absolutely silent in their presence. That just screams out "omfg these guys are the bees kness" to everyone watching the cut scene. Bungie did a good job at making everyone think deeply about the story line =]

THAT or the devs were too lazy to think up dialogue for that scene. The latter is highly unlikely.

It just seems strange to me that the one thing GS always talks about (halos and Forerunners and Flood) is the one thing that Truth doesn't want the Elites to know, and for some reason GS actually doesn't spoil it by speaking up in front of the Arbiter.

There is only one or two times I can think of where GS only speaks when spoken to besides this one. Maybe Truth threatened GS to dismantle him if he spoke of the 7ru7h....

Yea this is one of those "make you go hmmmm" moments

Just message me on live.

He appears paralyzed, he probably can't speak as well.

GS is a good little Litebulb who will listen when others are talking. He is very respectful, save for when someone tries to activate the Ark and blow it up... then he loses patience.



But good ol' MC put him in time out.

I'm thinking the paralyzed theory is the best one. 343 is a little jabber-jaw, he didn't stop talking when he saw a human for the first time in 100,000 years.

I always thought that they temperaraly deactivated him during his interigation so he could only answer truths questions and not babble about anything that Truth would regret. It would make sense because they had trouble with forunner construct AI before.

I don't think it would be hard for Truth to find a way to shut him down for a few moments either. And to support my theory about him being deactivated, next time you watch the cutscene, look at him. He doesn't even move to notice the people around him. Even if he was doing something like going through high charity's systems he would at least babble about his Genius or love of catigorization. But no, he is as limp as a bonefish.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

They got him to shut up by saying 'SHUT THE HELL UP!'....
