smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Now, I will make this as short as possible while keeping in some detail. Now, according to Cryptum, the Precursors had the ability to create objects using their minds, so who's to say that they couldn't control a living creature telepathically? The Gravemind was created by the Precursors, as was the Flood. They could have created the Gravemind as a puppet, something they could use to control the Flood, and as a distraction. Their enemies would focus on the Gravemind, and not the one controlling it, as they wouldn't even KNOW it was a puppet.




The Timeless One could very well be controlling the Flood. Think, the Gravemind is listed as a telepathic existence, something that doesn't require a body. That is the TO reaching out telepathically, commanding the Flood. The Gravemind somehow managed to defeat the Forerunners with their advanced weaponry and superior battle tactics and got a highly advanced AI to defect to his side. The TO's species created the Forerunners, so they'd know their strategy against something like the Flood, and only a Precursor could argue against an AI as advanced as Mendicant Bias.




How could the Gravemind corrupt the Domain? The Precursors created the Forerunners, so therefore they created the Domain as well. Only they would know how to block the Forerunners from using the Domain, and counteract their strategy. As another tidbit of evidence on this matter, the Halos destroy objects telepathically linked to the Precursors, such as their buildings and planet-connecting tethers. It kills no Flood, no Combat Forms, no Pure Forms, nothing. Except the Gravemind. It kills the Gravemind, but no other Flood form. Why? Because it is telepathically connected to the Timeless One. Here is a quote from the Gravemind.


I am a timeless curse, join your voice with mine and sing victory everlasting.

The part that interests me the most is "I am a timeless curse." Timeless, the Timeless One. The other part makes me think that the TO will be trying his hardest to infect the Last True Reclaimer.


TL;DR The Timeless One is the Gravemind, the Timeless One will try to infect the Chief in the Reclaimer trilogy.



Thoughts?

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

This has been speculated over and over again. Popular belief, it's the Gravemind.
