Don't scream, it will only make me laugh.

Um... Yeah.

I understand the Forerunner-Precursor War, in fact it seems likely, as well as possible without contradicting previous cannon. The Flood coming back, understood, but when did the Flood start infecting systems again? Why did no Forerunner know about it? That seems IMPOSSIBLE.

Almost none, to my record, of the content in the H3 Terminals were referenced or mentioned. Therefore, I am extremely confused as to the timeline of what is happening in this book.

At the end, the Librarian tells Bornstellar that he is Didact. Immediately after, Born/Didact thinks in patters exactly as Didact would WITHOUT Bornstellar. So then, was Bornstellar "overwritten" by Didact and is now Didact in Bornstellar's body? Or is Didact dead, and it turns out that the Didact in the H3 Terminals is simply Bornstellar acting as the new Didact, using Didacts memories and imprint?

Oh, and i thought that it was the Gravemind that corrupted MB, but according to this book it was the Precursor Prisoner. So which is it?

Speaking of the Prisoner, where the hell is it? Im asking both about the time of the book, and about the time post H3.

Thanks for any light that can be shed on this colored or otherwise...

Loved the book... until the last chapter. Was so confused, I cant wait for the next two, and by the Mantle, DONT SCREW IT UP 343!

Our troops are facing towards the Sun,
Stepping on the earth of Motherland,
Carrying the nation's hope,
We are an indomitable power!
Our troops are facing towards the Sun;
Marching towards the final victory
And the liberation of entire country!

So is Diadict the title of the king or is Diadict the king?

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

I'm thinking the prisoner is a part of Gravemind ultimately. As for the Bornstellar/Didact conundrum; Bornstellar was given all the Didact is and was during their brevet(?) mutation, which essentially makes them one and the same.

The Flood were able to spread because no one noticed. It seems weird, but hey, it happens.

there was no "cannon" on the forerunners and precursors thus nothing is contradicting. Greg implies that what the prisoner said isn't true on his board by saying " now lets see what the forerunners and precursors were really up to."

the book starts towards the end of the forerunner-flood war though didact tells bornsteller what has been going on in the last 10,000 years.

yes bornsteller is now the didact. And the gravemind still corrupted MB there are far many nods to them being the same, the Prisoner will get infected and turn into the gravemind.

we don't know anything post halo 3. And the prisoners location is stated in the book and terminals along with the times.

From when they first mentioned the 'Prisoner' right until the end of the book, I always thought it was the Gravemind.

Who is this "MB"?Mendicant Bias- The green A.I. thing it mentions.

Not to mention MB being gone for 40 years (which shouldn't be anything of concern due to forerunner "lifespans")

MB going rogue

MB saying he has a new master

yet people still say they are not the same

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

It's Didact, and it was a nickname he picked up. I believe his true name (as the Librarian's) is still unknown.

I was expecting serious replies not "whats a MB" and "Who is a diadick?"

*facepalm*

I should have searched ancilla memory banks instead of relying on human [imagination?].
