Ok, here's just a few random ideas I've had about all of this....
First off, no one seems to really wonder how the Gravemind came to having all these special abilities to either take over Cortana, the monitors etc.
It seems to be for the most part accepted that the Gravemind is some sort of uber flood. Is it possible, given that the flood seem to aquire the abilites & knowledge of their host that the Gravemind is a flood parasite that has taken over a Forerunner?
Seeing as how the Forerunners were the ones that developed all the flood, the rings & possibly have something to do with at the least Earth & maybe more to the point the creation of mankind itself... that a flood parasite that has merged w/ a Forerunner (maybe the Gravemind) would be a pretty resourceful dude.
We have yet to hear just what became of the Forerunners but isn't it generally assumed the flood overcame them? If so, then it makes sense to me that probably the Gravemind is some combo of the two.
Not sure where this could go & honestly a year of speculation is going to kill me... I fell in love with this whole Halo franchise because of the game play, but have come to be even more involved & interested in the potential story arch over time... I'm no good at waiting so this next year is going to be murder.
Here's to a year of "what ifs" & "how 'bouts" hope were still here this time next year.
