Ok, I've been doing some research into this, and here's what I've found so far that makes your theory look questionable at best.
First Strike concludes on September 12th and the Mona Lisa is taking place in October, no specific date given, but it would not take that long for the Gettysburg to get back to Earth with news of the Flood, especially since the Unyielding Heirophant was practically in the Sol system.
And in the Mona Lisa they didn't even really know what the Flood was, not at first anyway.
And I'm pretty sure most of the Universe forum has read the Mona Lisa, all the high profile members have at least.
I'm a little out of it right now, so I'll come back with a more coherent and well thought out response tomorrow after I get some sleep.
You also have the time crystal which distorted pretty much the entire timeline, Unyielding Heirophant was not "practically" in the sol system, They knew what it parasite and that is it just because they didn't say "flood" doesn't mean they didn't know what it was.
I know they have and as i have stated we had came to that conclusion well before you started posting here, so just because i am the nearly one of the few still coming here and not calling them for "support" doesn't mean anything.
Beat the horse all you like but you really are wasting your time because 343 is going to connect the two sooner or later. I think frankie even smiled at the mention of the SoF making it back.
So go on all you want all just wait afew years and see how it comes together, because i had this same "issue" with somebody pre halo 3 on something.
What difference does the Crystal really make? It sped up Blue Team's eventual return to Earth by essentially making the Ascendant Justice go back in time. I don't think it said where in the Tau Ceti System the Unyielding Heirophant was, but a system is not that big, and it was only 11.9 lightyears away according to Halopedia, and that's practically our next door neighbor in regards to the galaxy at large. It would still not be a very long trip back to Earth.
How would they have even found Alpha Halo? Cortana was the only one to get that it was a star map of sorts on the Sigma rock, so how would the Mona Lisa have gotten there, hmm? And how would they have even known to look for Flood there unless John Smith and his cronies got the information from intel gathered by Chief and Cortana.
This is an entirely different issue than whatever it was you were proved right about before, so why should past experience dictate that you are right this time? That claim doesn't make me want to believe you.
Again the time crystal messes up a lot if you try to put together events because hof how they got back to reach so fast.
The covenant honestly know where everything is, they are just to ignorant to follow up and check. I am not sure how they know, but they knew about installation 5,reach, the shield world, even the ark. I honestly don't understand how they know of all these places but now recently decided to check them. I am guessing they have some sort of relic or something that they aren't using properly.
It was clearly stated that the mona lisa didn't even know where they were or why they were sent there. It is clear that ONI sent them to check up on the red horse because something went wrong. Both ONI and the covenant knew of the flood prior to installation 4. The covenant knew from old texts (and probably ancient encounters) and it was stated in an update that ONI also knew of the flood years and years ago, i assume this is what bungie was talking about when they said that.
For the last time can you read the story and tell me where it says anything about chief and cortana? you keep bringing it up like it is suppose to solve anything. The ships were already at installation 4 before they got back
I couldn't careless if you believe me because i know i am right cocky as that might seem. But its true, so if your even on bungie or 343i forums in the next 304 years when everything adds up you'll be looking at the same thing i have been explaining to you.
How does it mess anything up, I'm not seeing the connection here.
I was talking about ONI in that second paragraph, not the Covenant. I was asking how ONI would have known how to find Alpha Halo or known that surviving Flood specimens would possibly be there. As for the Covenant finding things, I had assumed they knew how to find the Shield World in Halo Wars from the artifact the Scarab was guarding on Arcadia. And we know how they found the Ark, Regret detected the Portal on Earth.
The Red Horse knew where they were, Lopez tells Smith that the Mona Lisa is by the planet Threshold when her squad first finds him. What update was that in, I don't ever remember hearing about anything like that at all.
I don't own the book, and I gave it back to the friend I borrowed it from, so I can't give you a page number or anything, I can only tell you what part it was at (which I think I already did in another post). It's when Rebeca is telling Foccault about the Flood and showing him the intel they have on it. It mentioned Chief and I'm pretty sure it had a description of what could only possibly be the Jenkin's footage.
The Red Horse was definitely not at Alpha before Chief got back. I'm willing to entertain the possibility that ONI was smart enough to figure out the Star Map on the Sigma Rock and then found Alpha Halo that way, but I am totally, completely and one hundred percent certain that it has nothing at all to do with the Spirit of Fire. There just too many vectors that make it very highly improbable.
