SC = Supreme Commander/Supreme Canadian.

De Facto leader of the military of the APE (Allied Planets Empire).

Coup = Admiral Asskicker, ZPM hive ship

ONI found it, Captain Cutter gave the ONI prowler commander the details about the Flood and what they were doing, the ONI commander realizes the only way to keep this a secret is to bury it, and the prowler opens up on the Spirit of Fire, destroying it with nuke spam and placing the crew on KIA rosters.

Cause that's just how the CIA would roll. And seeing as how ONI is the CIA on steroids...

Killing three Spartans? I say if they try that... they're probably going to have a though fight.

Not if they don't bother docking with the ship in the first place and just missile massacre it from long range.

I don't think they would learn about the flood without docking.

ONI prowler captain promptly loses his commission, and gets heavily investigated for either being a rebel or some sort of Covenant brainwashing.

He is then taken to trial with the families of all the thousands of people crying out for his blood.

You don't know how 'ONI rolls.'

Edit: That's even if the prowler survived long enough to DESTROY the SoF. Cause, prowlers don't really have any weapons. They wouldn't be able to nuke spam. The SoF deck guns would rip it to shreds.

Yeah...I don't think he's going to make it past any of them...alive atleast..or in one piece.

"One final theory, posed by the father of Professor Ellen Anders, the civilian scientist aboard Spirit of Fire, is that the ship is unable to get home or somehow disabled. He claims to have talked to sources inside the Office of Naval Intelligence that a huge upset in the Covenant war plans happened some weeks after Spirit of Fire went missing and that intel reports inside ONI have suggested that the Spirit of Fire may be responsible. While wishful, most discount this theory as too fantastic to have any truth."

That pretty much sets it up for halowars 2 with "something has happened".

through some long and dramatic set of events the SoF will make it back before reach and be detained by ONI. OMEGA team might be released under the cover of different spartans of RED Team or just be heavily advised not to say anything.




Just one question? How do we know that the Mona Lisa takes place before Chief and Cortana ever got back from Alpha Halo? And if I remember correctly Rebeka shows Foccault footage recorded by Chief fighting the Flood through the Library and other places on Alpha Halo. And why would ONI detain a whole crew of capable naval personnel when they're in the middle of a war of extermination and need every able bodied person they can find to fight in the war or serve in roles that support the war effort?


I don't remember that happening so give me a page number.

You active like they wouldn't be working while being detained by ONI. Kurt was detained for a awhile before being given an alias, the same would be for the SoF other than red team.

  • 05.14.2011 6:20 AM PDT

My guess is it somehow was found by the UNSC, and ONI kept it in quarantine and a secret.
This would explain why the UNSC suddenly has a lot of information on the Flood, right after Halo CE (in Mona Lisa, Halo: Evolutions) even without Cortana bringing back the data on Halo...

Maybe it got found by Cole and "his" Rebel troops, and was later found by "accident" when the UNSC encountered it in battle or in a Rebel dock.

Have a bigger theory on the whole SoF thing, will post the complete one later on ;)

EDIT: Found my previous post in another thread about this issue ;)


Posted by: DonVinzone1
Ok, here's my theory.

SoF wasn't lost with all hands, it was accidentally recovered by ONI. Why do I think this?

The Evolutions story Mona Lisa takes place in October 2552, on a unspecified day at the Alpha Halo debrisfield.
In the story a team of Marines infiltrates a top secret ONI facility that has been there testing the Flood as bioweapons.

Now: Halo 2 starts off at October 20th. And Alpha Halo is destroyed at September 25th.
The ONI ship arrived at the debris field shortly after the destruction of Halo, presumably within a week or so and began testing with the Flood....

How on Earth do they know about the Flood and Halo at that point? Because Chief and Cortana aren't back on Earth to tell them about the Flood/Forerunners at that point in time. I can (am will at least to) assume the distress call from Cortana when they destoryed Halo and wanted the UNSC to find them, had some minor info about "Flood", but the question still remains: how does ONI suddenly turn up with a fully fleshed out plan to use Flood as bioweapons, even with a ship fully equipped and prepped for such an operation? Thats not something you do in the short period of time they had...

Unless they were prepared for such things and already knew about the Flood in a minor way....which is where SoF comes in to play, because they are the only ones who had UNSC contact with the Flood before them.

So I assume ONI somehow found them, put them in quarantine, covered the whole thing up, and then already planned for what they did during Mona Lisa. Halo is destroyed: Cortana leaves a distress beacon with information in it for the UNSC to find them. However, they capture a Covie ship and make it back to Reach (First Strike) and ONI shows up with their plan to use the Flood...

Welcome mate ;)

And as for the Mona Lisa timeline issue: If I'm not mistaken, the story takes place several days after the Halo Event. I believe it was somewhere in the story, when they interrogate the doctors etc. But no hard dates are given.

Again, thank you. it seems some people must have skimmed the book or something because i clearly remember that being stated also.

One problem with that little theory of yours, not saying your theory is bad, even though I do disagree with it, I'm just saying that you have a slight error with your dates. Operation FIRST STRIKE (of which Chief was a part) took place on September 12th. And Unyeilding Heirophant was practically right in the Sol System, so it would not take very long at all the Gettysburg to get to Earth or to some nearby UNSC held planet. It is much more likely that the Mona Lisa comes after Chief and his companions get back to Earth.

Going along with your idea.

Their should have been a greater covenant presences at the site seeing how high charity was at the remnants while earth was attacked. Not to mention the mona lisa didn't say/mention/ or imply anything about earth or chief.

***Edit

now that i think about it didn't high charity jump to 04 right before Earth was attacked and THEN later jumped to 05. which means (according to your idea) that this has to happen before chief got to earth seeing how there still really wasn't any covenant presence at the ring. I might need to read it to find how long it took them to get back to earth (which i know was a short time).

I normally wouldn't care but FS ended on the 13th. every day counts.

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

Short and sweet version?

SoF made it back and ONI is holding them back and keeping everything hushed, while they analize the info and logs from their engagements on the Shield World.

We don't know when High Charity arrived in the Soell system and Alph Halo's remains. And due to the nature of Alpha Halo's destruction and a possible Flood threat still looming there, I think the Prophets would exercise a little caution and make sure the area is completely secure from any threats such as Humanity and that there is no chance of the Flood still being around and infecting the whole fleet.

And it is also entirely possible that the Red Horse was sent to investigate the area after High Charity and its accompanying fleet left the scene. There is no definite date given, only that the story occurs in October of 2552.

We don;t know the exact date but we do know that It was there when chief was near earth. And i think they would have rushed to get there seeing how in "conversations of the universe" i do remember truth studying the flood to use as a weapon, though he wasn't really sure what it was. and the flood wouldn't be an issue for the defense fleet.


I know that this has to be before high charity gets there because it wouldn't make sense other wise.
