Okay so during my geometry class I got really bored and thought up the following
What I took from the video was there's a (spartan) back on Earth, could be the MC, could not be. Im beginning 2 think it is NOT because of the weapon that spartan is carrying...its a MA5B from Halo:CE...only the remaining spartans that survived reach carried those during the timefram of Halo2
-MC, the Prophet of Truth, Tarturus and some brutes were on the Arc. (How'd they get off??)
The Arc refers back to the chest that held the 10 Commandments; the directives from God (Forerunners) to his children (humans, covenant, w/e)
*Interesting coincidence w/ that ship on High Charity w/ biblical history..the full title of that chest with 10 stones is The Arc of The Covenant...
It could very well be that the FOrerunners were humans, in which case...
a.) Earth was a remote firing station where the Forerunners fled to from the Flood.
b.) Such an elaborately-huge and hidden thingy would support this idea
**Insert-Epiphany**
Why did each Monitor (Guilty Spark/Penetant Tangent) call the MC "Reclaimer"? These things were locked away on the RIngs, with NO human contact whatsoefver- how would they recognize them? Here's why...the MJOLNIR armor was prolly modeled after a suit of armor made by the Forerunners, or by using designs (possibly from a crystal) In which case a similiarity would easily be recognized by a Monitor, since I highly doubt the average human would suit the task of "Reclaimer".
There will be other Spartans, in the Special Edition there's a letter to John from someone at a rehab-station; who needs special-needs surgical/physical therapy labs to recooperate?? another Spartan you douche! According to the tone of that note I'd wager it's Linda, since 117 and her had a close lil-thing goin on
The confusing part of this story is now the Covenant...it's basically shattered. Prophets and Brutes are continuing the Great Journey, but the Elites and Hungers are left alone to decide what they should do, knowing they've been lied to, used, and betrayed. If they don't choose a side all life will end, and the Great Journey would begin...
Something's weird here...how did they learn of the Great Journey to begin with??They couldn't know it was a weapon of mass destruction or else they wouldnt've come so far... Landing on a Ring wouldn't tell them much either, unless they knew of the Flood and spoke w/ a Monitor at length.
If the Forerunners built the Rings knowing it would kill them all and anyone else who used them later on, WHY BUILD THEM?!?! Unless they found/had a way to escape well beyond the reaches of the Flood while preventing anything from following them.
*(The Great Journey)*
The Forerunner ship on High Charity...an old left-behind relic??
- I think it was a return vehicle, a manned craft
- The Covenant found it, learned of its leaving the Galaxy and of its return trip...
*here's a thought...the first Halo was designed to Study and Contain the Flood...dangerous Bio-weapons that can consume anything aren't something I'd want around, unless for a damn good reason.
The Forerunners engineered the Flood in our Universe, using the Rings as research labs to observe different effects on flora/fauna in various environments- Flood STUDY and CONTAINMENT were Priority #1
Only Bio-Labs and Military Installations have ellaborate Containment Protocols people...
But when things got out of control they pulled the plug, activated the Rings, and got the hell out of dodge.
*It makes sense to have quaranteen zones to observe data from, leaving everything else to automated AI's--limits the possibility of an outbreak
**The RIngs were controlled environments...***
