I think Gravemind is the Queen of the Flood (don't laugh). What I mean by that, is that it is the one that reproduces. Much like a Queen Bee or Queen Ant. As you may know, a colony of Flood is called a Hive. Hives usually have a Queen.

when you first see the gravemind in the cutscene after tartarus betrays the arbiter, the gravemind has absorbed/assimilated the prophet of regret and penitent tangent. put two and two together and you could kind of figure out thats just what it does, absorb crap. it makes sense when you think about it. the flood infection forms infect host, and the gravemind absobes the fallen host and assimilates them into itself. not that hard to picture.

o jackals, sorry, just making sure. and where did it say that all halo's fire simultaneously? if all halo's fired at the same time then there would not be any life in the known universe. am i right? it wouldn't make much sense to think that all of the rings were fired, but mayber i'm wrong. does anyone ever recall it being said that the entire halo system fires all 7 rings in unison?


Yea, when Gravemind has the MC and the Arbiter and is telling them what the rings do he pulls up 2401 Pentinent Tangent (the red monitor). 2401 says that Delta Halo has over 2 trillion simulated and once actual activation. They all fired together. As for how life continued...the answer is the Ark. The forerunners (humans) went into the Ark to activate Halo. They waited there a while and then came out when all was clear. The descended till the time of the games. This is why the monitors call the humans "RECLAIMERS" and assume we should know about the rings. To reclaim means to take back WHAT IS ALREADY YOURS.

Well thats all speculation... and in fact reclaim doesn't necessarily mean you have had to own it in the first place. It can also mean to bring something back to it's proper use.

a very good point, i've never bought into the whole "humans are the foreunners" thing. not saying it isn't possible, just not something that i've ever believed.

I mean it as a theory. I do find it interesting though that 343 continually tells the chief he already knows something. He also refers to human history as "our lost time". Only humans can activate Halo. I could be wrong, but evidence certainly points to that. I also believe that if we are the forerunners, that Truth knows that already. I think he has been lying all this time to finally get his hands on our Halos. He is after all a lying piece of crap.

not a bad argument. my problem with that theory is that there is really no proof. if the humans were indeed the forerunners then why is it that there is tons of forerunner tech all over the galaxy, yet none on earth?? (besides the arc) and where is it written that the arc shields halos blast???
