If you're wondering what part 1 is about, then click[color=yellow] HERE [/color]. As for part 2, here it is. Since, and this has been well documented in part 1, Sergent Johnson has this new regenerative ability, he may turn into a walking super human, time bomb, Jesus figure. Let me elaborate:
[color=red]1. He MAY be super human because everytime he is injured his new regenerative ability will heal him... basically, he will be invincible.[/color]
[color=white]2. He MAY be a walking time bomb because he is carrying potentially potient flood DNA in his body. Any of these genes get out of his body ( a cut or something ), and all hell will break loose.[/color]
[color=blue]3. He MAY become a Jesus figure because he might hold the only cure ( himself ) to the Flood. Basically, he would have to give his life to save all those who are infected; however, he would rise again because of the new regenerative process.[/color]
With all this said, and I know it's sounds really crazy to most of you, here is Part 2 of the Trojan Horse theory.
In part 1 of the Trojan Horse theory I described the Flood using Johnson as a Trojan Horse on his own kind. In part 2, I would like to discuss the idea that the Humans may figure out a way to use Johnson as a Trojan Horse on the Covenant. This would fit the profile of the Spartans in our own history much better. It might go something like this (JUST AN EXAMPLE):
Two huge masses convert in the plains of ( Fill in the blank ) to go to battle. One side would be the Covenant, and the other side would be Humans. Before all Hell breaks loose, Johnson would be sent out ALONE into the Covenant mass. Of course, this would look crazy to the Covenant. [color=yellow]It might even look as a if the Humans are offering a sacrafic to their Gods ( The Forerunners ).[/color] They, the Covenant, would accept the sacrafic (Johnson) with open arms... of furry. He would be ripped apart; which by doing so, would spread the Flood DNA inside his body all over the Covenant welcoming comity. Flood forms would begin to pop up everywhere, and the infection would begin to spread throughout the Covenant hord. You can see for yourself where this is heading. The Covenant become the Flood, and the Flood, who have no stategic mindset other than INFECT, would be overcome by the Humans, who now have the technological/strategic advantage.
This is ONLY an example of the many possibilities concerning Johnson. He is a Trojan Horse to someone in the Halo universe, but who? This is just another take on the situation from me:)
[color=red]UPDATE:[/color]
[color=aqua]I understand many you guys concerns; however, I must ask you to think about this. If the Flood genes can't reconfigure the cellular stucture of organic life, then what gave Johnson the new regenerative ability? I give you this reference from First Strike:[/color]
[color=white]Dr. Halsey on page 245 of First Strike:
"Further blood test show his ( Johnson's ) system bearing traces of flood DNA- very much dead and noninfectious, but some gene fragments are intact."I beileve this is proof of a failed attempt to possess him ( because of the Borens syndrome ). It also appears to have imparted him with some curious regenerative abilities,"[/color]
[color=aqua]Now, you might say, "This is pointless because the Flood DNA is dead." I would say, if the DNA is dead and noninfectious, what is giving Johnson the new regenerative process?
You might then respond with, "Yea idiot, the Flood DNA gave Johnson the new regenerative process, and then died... end of story." My response to this would be, to regenerate means to reform completly, or give/gain new life ( Webster's ). If the regenerative process is to refrom Johnson completly, then that means everything inside his body will gain, or be given, new live... this includes the Flood. The Flood have basically created a stale mate with Johnson's body untill a more suitable victim is found.[/color]
[color=red]ALSO[/color]
[color=aqua]A carrier form was needed to infect Johnson, but he couldn't be infected. He is basically the same as the carrier form. All the carrier form does is introduce the Flood genes/DNA to the victims body. Johnson can do this by accidentally introducing his blood to a cut/wound of another organism... think of a virus:)
If Johnson's regenerative process is completly reforming the Flood DNA/genes, then why isn't the part that infects the brain happening? My response to this is, it can't infect Johnson, in a tradition Flood way, because every time his body regenerates, his disease "Boren's Syndrome" is made potient again. Boren's Syndrome then neutralizes all the Flood genes, except for the ones that give Johnson the regenerative ability. The genes that give Johnson the regenerative ability give it to him again, and then it starts all over again. The Flood genes/DNA are at a stale mate with Johnson's body. They live, then die, and then repeat the process. It all comes to an end, atleast for some of the Flood DNA/genes, when Johnson's blood is introduced to another organism:) [/color]
