There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.
Alright, first I should say that I am not sure where exactly to post this thread, so if a moderator deems it to be moved, but all means move it to the proper place.
Now, something that has been bothering me about some of the things that have been taking place in the HALO1/HALO2 plot lines begin back in HALO1. These of course deal with the Flood, which has been the one constant enemy in both games. What makes me wonder about the Flood is something that 343 Guilty Spark says in the level, The Library, more specific in the area "But I don't want to ride the elevator". Sparky informs the MC that:
"The installation was specifically built to study and contain the Flood. Their survival as a race was dependent upon it. I am grateful to see that some of them survived to reproduce."
This begs the question for me. If the forerunners were so afraid of the Flood, enough to constuct 7 HALOS, and then obliderate themselves along with any life for 100 million lightyears in order to kill any food for the Flood, then why were they being kept in stasis and being studied? In HALO2, Gravemind again reiterates that what the forerunners did was on purpose by saying:
Those who built this place knew what they wrought; do not mistake their intent or all will perish as they did before.
My question still remains why would the Forerunners go through the trouble of building the HALOS in order to contain the Flood, where it actually looks like they kept them around in stasis. What could have the Flood possibly given the Forerunners for them to keep them alive?
I am curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this, and if you have anything more to add, by all means contribute. I'm just trying to get some things clear, and I thought it would be an interesting discussion compared to all the HALO3/ Pimps at Sea posts that have been going on.
Sincerely,
B.B.
