Hello everybody, and thank you for looking at my Halo 4 Theory. Most of what I say is based on information found on Halo Waypoint, which you can see for yourself.
Cryptum: A sealed structure where a warrior servant would enter a self-imposed exile, hibernating in a meditative state of contemplative transcendence called "timeless xankara"
Wisdom of Harbou / Strength of Lang Two forces that hold the millenial seal on the Didact's Cryptum, barring entry to all but a Forerunner.
Okay, so, this implies that the Didact is still alive and in something like cryo-stasis, and only a Forerunner can wake him up.
"Uncategorized" in Beasterium:About John 117 / Spartan-IIs: "It certainly meets all the required traits of a Reclaimer, but its physicality is notable."
Master Chief has been called "Reclaimer" and "Forerunner" by 343 Guilty Spark. Maybe, the Reclaimers were supposed to be a species that would evolve to retake the Forerunner's place as masters of the galaxy, or....bring the Forerunners back?
And to be brought back, maybe the Didact had to be awakened, among other Forerunners. And if Master Chief meets the standards of these Reclaimers, then they technically are Forerunners, at least in the Monitor's terms. So, what if, Master Chief crash lands inside of the huge blue portal thing seen in the Halo 4 trailer, goes to the Didact's Cryptum, and awakens him so that the Forerunners can retake the galaxy?
And since there is no Librarian to dampen the Didact's rage, then, if he gets angry, he might just feel like destroying Humanity.
Explosions will ensue.
Also, does anyone know what a 'caveat' in the Beasterium is?
