Subject: Halo: Primordium discussion [spoilers]

I know this books comes out for you yanks tomorrow so I thought I would create this thread now and you guys can pitch in once you have read it.

Only read this if you want to have the story explained to you.



Two of the most significant parts I thought anyway were th bits I have included below

http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/5107/multipleforms.png

- Forthencho talking while still the geas inside chakas

And then

"We are the flood. There is no difference. Until all space and time are rolled up and life is crushed in the folds . . . no end to war, grief or pain. In a hundred and one thousand centuries . . . unity again, and wisdom. Until then - Sweetness"

- Timeless One/Precursor talking to the brevet mutation Diadect and the Chakas monitor



*** Now these are two very interesting aspects of the book and they change everything we knew and provide great insight into the precursors and flood.

If you have read the book then lets start discussing some of these quotes and post your own. Let the discussion begin.

Nope, it is only mentioned briefly that he was turned into a monitor.

BUT it was mentioned later that the UNSC that were talking to the monitor detected it as 343 Guilty Spark (it only recognised this very late into the book)

This monitor business has completely changed our understanding of the Halo universe. I can see this coming, a possible explanation as to why John is called a Forerunner.

Rampancy IMO is not a good way to explain this, I just feel there is something more to know...

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

Hmm I like were this going with the Timeless One.

Yes and no, it appears that the precursors are another evolution of the flood i.e. maybe give a gravemind a million years or something.

And yes there are many multiple graveminds

Waypoint Moderators aren't really Moderators, just power hungry and its goal is defend their beloved Halo at all costs. (Meaning that they wank Halo too much.)

BS Angel is alleged foe so, be wary of Waypoint and its moderators! Do not attempt to move to Waypoint. Enter your own risk.

*WARNING* IT IS MY OPINION.

Damn. The Librarian aren't dead. Primorodium confirms this.
