Subject: Possible reason John 117 is called a Reclaimer [Halo Cryptum spoiler]

Not sure if its already mentioned in another post but..

Could it be that Master chief was called a reclaimer to the Forerunners because unlike normal humans (also note the separate entry in the bestarium) Spartans had to undergo genetic mutations from their natural self.

This is in parallel to the 5 genetic mutations that forerunner go through i.e. Born stellar mutating from a Manipulator.

What do u think about this?

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Maybe. IDK. It's nice to bring the two together though, so I'll watch this thread and see if anyone with knowledge of the book (Not I) comes in and posts something significant.

all humans are called reclaimers. johnson and miranda have been referred to as them by guilty spark on multiple occasions.

To clarify further... only John 117 was referred to as a Forerunner by guilty spark.

Also notice the happenings on Ghosts of Onyx with the attempt to authenticate the Spartan 3's by the forerunner sentinels.

I thought the "reclaimer" had just a been known as that because it has the role of obtaining the index.....

I quote from halo 2:
Tartarus: Come human it is easy, take the icon in your hand *Slams on console* AND DO AS YOU ARE TOLD!
Guilty Spark: Please, use caution, this reclaimer is delicate.

SubtleSpartan I agree about the Reclaimer reference.

But as I said John is explicitly called a Forerunner
