There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

First off, this is just my own take on Eagle 117's genius.All props go to him, and if you find a problem...well it goes to me. This is posted under his thread but I think it might serve people better here.
Well, Eagle, I'd say you've got something about as good going there as anyone has conjectured so far. In your honor i'd like to make my own alterations to your theory....
ONI never sent a clone of MC to Halo, instead, they sent normal humans.Hence the abnormal number of human flood forms (the flood wouldnt have animated the dead marines killed by the covies, it doesn't work that way I think...but please prove me wrong if you disagree) The only flashclone of MC was given to his real parents as a replacement when they took the real John. And here's my big twist, what if the other species that 343 GS is talking about being responsible for releasing the flood isn't the covenant but instead the humans. The covenant specifically tried to lock down the different contaminated parts of Halo as evidenced by the level 343 Guilty Spark. Instead it was the ONI team sent there as part of Ackerson's secret project (including Lt. Haverson, explaining his presence) that began to release the flood, and was unsuccesful because the covenant showed up and shut everything down.It would then be sustaining that when the Pillar of Autumn marines showed up and finished the job, 343 GS saw no difference.
Now, you are probably asking yourself, why would 343 GS consider the humans different than John. Well because he didn't know that John was essentially a human....Scanning MC would have revealed a ridiculously advanced and much larger version of a homosapien than the other humans on Halo, even to the level of his DNA which had been altered through the gene therapy of ONI. Instead, as congruent with calling him the reclaimer, 343 thinks he is...dum dum dum...a forerunner! Going back to the many theories of human-forerunner relationships, 343 GS sees MC as a far more advanced (and much larger version) of a human, which is essentially what most people contemplate a forerunner to be.
Please Please respond with your critiques and comments, and if i'm wrong, please tell me about it in detail. Those people who would like to flame us because "it's just a game", can go do something else, while we do what we want.
