Subject: What if The Truth and Reconciliation had made it off the Ring?

Could you imagine if the Truth and Reconciliation had made it off the ring? Aside from the Flood on the ship I believe Silva as she said it would have been a glorious success. They captured a Minor Prophet along with hundreds of Covenant forces with a few Flood specimen. Don't you agree this would have changed alot in the war?

Hundreds of Marines, Jenkins(=D) and all that, return to Earth, we could have studied the flood, all the information on the ring, interrogated the prophet and Covenant Forces and studied their ship. This is only a theory of mine, of course the flood could have taken over the ship and doomed the earth, but that's just another theory. But you tell me, what would had happened if the ship made it off the ring and made it back to Earth?

EDIT: Another theory could have been the ship being shot down as it entered Earth.(lol)

KILL OR BE KILLED!

Then master chief wouldn't have had a banshee to get off the ring and the flood would of escaped with captain keys which in return master chief could't hav blown up halo with the PoA and the flood would hav gone 2 earth

Do you know anything about Halo: Combat Evolved? He used a Longsword. The flood would have probably been contained as the UNSC controlled 80% of the ship, he would have still have blown up the ring and the flood would have never been released.

I've never thought of that possibility. Would've been an awesome alternate storyline.

Flood infects Truth And Reconciliation crew en route to Earth. Earth falls. The Covenant find an infected Earth. Flood infect Covenant invasion forces, and go to High Charity. High Charity falls. Flood travel throughout galaxy and proceed to systematically wipe out the individual races left. The end.

That would be a pretty dark ending.

Well that's what would most likely happen, which is why McKay blew the ship up in the first place.

Yeah, I know. I suppose it's a good thing that it didn't make it off the ring then.

I don't think so, they controlled 80% of the ship, and they just killed a avalanche of flood, sure one of them would have made it all the way to earth but if it infected civilians, there would have been a quarantine, wouldn't have taken over all of earth.

""We meet again, young one. I am the last of those who gave you breath and shape and form, millions of years ago. I am the last of those your kind rose up and ruthlessly destroyed. And our answer is at hand."

Lets assume the flood were killed. So now we have timeline where the MC does not pick up his comrades on Reach. This would allow the Covenant to have access to the slipstream crystal on Reach. Also the Covenant fleet en route to Reach wouldn't have been destroyed.

Humankind would have gained one Covenant ship with a minor prophet, vs a full covenant fleet.

Hmmmmm

That's enough to destroy earth

The flood aren't the same as a disease.

I give them 32 hours before Earth falls,just like the forerunner planet in the terminals.

What they didn't think of is leaving the ring, and then cleaning the ship of flood before returning to Earth...

Agreed, they should have left the ring and cleaned the ring in space.

CoD is a good game, even if the Halo series are better in some aspects. Anyone who insults either is just bad in that game. Grow up.

You're underestimating the flood...

Aside from the Flood on the ship

You underestimate the flood entirely, a few spores breathed in through the ventilation ducts or even one or two humans gone awry on their own, mission squiffed and a taxi full of flood on way to earth... there is no studying flood, .... ever...

  • 01.29.2011 1:42 PM PDT

I am a monument to all your sins

Couldn't the crew have just vented the atmosphere in all unoccupied areas? killing most if not all of the flood? although it is possible that the flood can survive in vacuum, in which case that theory fails. yeah, its possible that the flood on the ship could have been contained, but if they got out we'd be -blam!-.

I dont think spores can infect people, they just spread biomass and grow growth pods. I dont listen to halo wars, its just too inconsistent. If the spores could cause infection then why have infection forms? using spores would be far more efficient

Flood can survive in Space, how do you think they control Covy and High Charity?

Spores cause gradual genetic mutation into the desired form. The pods are just faster... much faster.

Because 100% containment and at least an understanding of the flood worked out so well for the Mona Lisa...I'm sure a group of marines with no real understanding of the Flood or Covenant ship design can fair better.
