Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.
omg not realistic stop game production plz
It has come to my attention that it is likely that the Didact has a plan, or at least made one that would still be effective if he were to die before it was enacted.
What is this plan?
My primary evidence comes from the 8th Halo: Anniversary Terminal, on Two Betrayals. I recommend you watch it again in order to understand what is to come. 343 Guilty Spark clearly mentions that:
"[Didact] never got the chance to fully execute his proposal. The council saw to that. But if anything were to ever go wrong with the Halos, if our tools were ever turned against us.....long plans, indeed."
So it seems likely that Didact at least partially executed a plan. But in addition, it sounds like this partially constructed plan is enough to compensate even if the Halos were hijacked by another species to be used against the Forerunners themselves.
Why does the Didact's Plan matter, exactly?
And here's the $1 million question. Which other species aside from the Forerunners could potentially hijack and use the Halos against them? Which race had a great war against the Forerunners and is still a potential enemy to them?
Ding! That's right! HUMANITY.
But wait, we're not done yet. Now we take ourselves briefly to Glasslands. At the closing of Glasslands, although I have not read it myself, I am aware that Installation 03 is under occupation. Who by?
Ding! That's right! HUMANITY.
I feel that all of this is somewhat TOO co-incidental. Furthermore on my point, I'll return to a noteworthy terminal: the 10th terminal, on The Maw. 343 Guilty Spark (as most of the community has now discussed) mentions that "he" (i.e. the Didact) would have to be here if there were Prometheans, and that humans "might almost prefer the Flood".
Other un-assorted evidence!
This is where I need help putting evidence together. Assuming you all know about Halo Waypoint's new interface to put the Terminal Symbols in which unlock the videos and some Reach credits. But that is not the concern. Using the Terminal Symbol Decoder, courtesy of forum user "About 9 Grunts", I translated the symbols into a series of words (one word per terminal); 10 words. They are below, in order of the level terminal they appear ("1" being the Pillar of Autumn terminal, "10" being the Maw terminal, etc.).
1. 343gs
2. halo4
3. spark
4. flood
5. earth
6. demon
7. rings
8. array
9. human
10. haven
Three words strike me the most here: "halo4", "earth" and "haven".....I need your help theorising here, community. I don't know what these all mean.
Also worth noting: the final track on Halo CEA's OST is "Didactic Principal", which could be the designated name for his grand scheme/plan.
