I may not be grey, but my two cents on the matter...
Posted by: Shards77
The whole unity and wisdom factor I agree that it means the flood consuming everything, but I still have another theory based one the claims of unity-(pg 364 says "the flood will return when they (humans) are ripe, and bring them unity) could this be that humanity is being challenged/at war with the covenant, and the flood came to try to "unite" those species together against a common foe (similar to Transformer's 'till all are one') so that they can help uphold the mantle?
pg 365 "Last of this kind" I read someone say you theorized that Precursors could be multiple races.
is it at all possible that Primordium wants humanity to be reclaimers of their Mantle with the aid of other races? When they are ripe...I suddenly think of Glasslands with the "treaty" with Sanghelies..
Your theories seem fairly reasonable. After all, the forerunners have some control of time with the timelock/anti timelock thing then whos to say that precursors couldnt look forward in time. Pre-covenant war, humans were fighting themselves or at least uneasy with each other well into the fall of reach timeframe (halo first stike I think is the book that mentions this). Furthermore, humanity wouldve had a hard time to expel the flood from Africa without the help of the elites in halo 3. Considering that the precursors chose humanity to uphold the mantle, they would want humanity to last as long as possible for better or worse.
Another question, anyone have any theories when the science team is talking the the 343GS duplicate/Chakas? Could this be after the events of Halo3, even several years after? or even beforehand? They never say GS is dead, that it is but a Duplicate. "Shedding all of my former self" Halo CEA terminal, could the "dupe" but that piece that 343GS shed off?
It isnt very clear as to when the science team interogation is taking place, though it is possible that it is post halo 3. Prior to it, the only human that met 343 is master chief/cortana who wouldve believed that he blew up on halo anyway. In halo 2, johnson meets him and could theoretically introduce him to humanity, but there is no ring for him to defend at that point. The best time period of when the unsc fully realizes what he is is when the forward unto dawn appears near the end of halo 3 where a full ship needs only one person to make a report about 343 and the installation.
I could be wrong but the part where he says he is shedding something refers to his connection to the domain unless you are talking about a different terminal than the one I am thinking about. Regardless, it makes sense that the didact would duplicate chakas or at least parts of him seeing as how he is the didact's friend and has proven himself to be useful anyway. It would also make sense to put him in charge of a halo since at least he isnt mendicant bias and aligning himself with the flood (though this is merely a wild conjecture).
In light of the CEA terminals and the forerunner saga info, this could lead to some very interesting encounters for the master chief and cortana in the future.
