Subject: 2401 Penitent Tangent question

I'm curious why he never bothered to attack Gravemind when he was captured by him. Assuming he has a beam as powerful as 343 Guilty Spark, he would sure have a significant amount of power and damage, why does it seem like he never bothered to at least attempt to break free?

Unless I'm wrong and there is a whole back story to this, if there is please feel free to tell me.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

That beam can't hurt the Gravemind....

2401 Penitent tangnent couldn't break free, but he did not fal into rampancy in his captivity. For more info, I suggest you go to this webiste: Link

Tangent had been presumabley captured by th Gravemind in the middle of combat. Tangent was heavily damaged and couldn't use the beam at all by the time of the cutscene with the Arbiter and the Chief. Could have only been temporary, but I doubt that Gravemind would ever have let Tangent recover.

Huh? I am 99% sure the Gravemind had 2401 long long before any other race visited the ring.

I think it's pretty self explanatory. The Flood.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Penitent seemed like he and the Gravemind were one. The did not offer any resistance nor talked to the Gravemind in any despicable way. They talked as if they were not sworn enemies.

They have been together along time. I´m pretty sure the Gravemind corrupted himn, just like he did Medicant Bias.

On Alpha Halo / Installation 04 the Flood were released by the Covenant (although it may appear that they were released by Fire Team Charlie).
However, on Delta Halo / Installation 05 there was a malfunction in a containment facility (known to multiplayer people as Cold Storage). Pentinant Tangient chose to ignore this. That is why the Flood are already on the surface of the ring in Halo 2. The Gravemind can't have been on the ring before that because the Gravemind / Brain Form does not get built until the later stages of the Flood infection.

To be honest the Mind wouldn't have to currupt him seeing how he couldn't get away. As 2401 is an AI i would like to think that it cooporated because it new it couldn't get away. Thus we have that mutual partnership we saw.


And while halo 2 had the most visual scenes of the Trilogy, That was one of my favorite cinimatics along with delusions and Grandeur

Ahh i see, you haven't read cryptum :)

After you read cryptum you will know more about the question you are asking, try reading the terminals also, hell look up IRIS aswell.

I'm not asking anything. This is how it happened. This is how the Flood on Delta Halo were released. I know this because of the Terminals. Besides all this is regarding stuff that happened a long long time after the events of Cryptum were forgotten.

That isn't how it happened.

Read cryptum, and read the terminals in better context.

The Gravemind was already on the ring just contained. And After reading cryptum The Gravemind form might not be a natural stage to the flood but introduced.
