I have walked the edge of the Abyss.
I have governed the unwilling.
I have witnessed countless empires break before me.
I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.
[I was there with the Angel at the tomb]
I have seen your future.
And I have learned.
There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.
I HAVE WON.
Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.
I was watching the Weekly IGN show and they talked about the Cortana Letters. These were from 1999 in a viral marketing campaign for Marathon. Seemingly enough they apply to Halo 3. Look at this first one.
To me, if the Flood is talking through Cortana in this letter it means that the Flood have taken over the world (Thats what they mean by no more hate, anger, jealousy or envy).
Anyone else wanna analyze this? This is pretty interesting.
