True. Another facet to this topic. Gravemind can teleport anything on this Halo to anywhere in range (which is obviously High Charity). But then, why did he need In Amber Clad to get the Flood to High Charity. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!
Great point. Maybe he was trying to conceal his involvment from the Chief, speculation but your previous post has baffled me.
I think that Grave Mind is simply to big to transport that way.
No, the teleportation is a Grid, some things (like a ship about 50 feet in the air) can be tele'd to, like the T&R from H1. I doubt even the forunners could teleport to something that is off of Halo's surface....
ok first off if grave mind is able to do it, the forerunners were able to do, he using their tech to teleport, he didnt come up with anything new
second, the reason he needed in amber clad is because he wnated to get a large amount of flood onto HC all at once with the ability to spread it quickly, in amber clad was the only way to do this, i dont think he can teleport that many flood all at once
third, it was ackerson, this is about the most sensible theory out of all the theories iv heard and is the most plausible
anyway, on to the evidence, im not gonna go thru all of it, but enough to prove the pnt
ok, first you must realize that the books and the games go hand in hand they are not separate in any way and the author or bungie or whoever official said that this was so(cant remeber exaclty), so in other words, what you see in the games go along with the story line, you are just seeing it from one pnt of veiw instead of from several like in the books
ok on to the main evidence(there is thread for this, but i am in no way gonna look thru 200 some pages of threads to find it)
ok, like was mentioned before, the flood are inside the shield when the arbitor turns it off, they were not teleported there by the gravemind
ackcerson worked for ONI, which is the Office of naval intelligence and had access to lots of classified material, alot of it being research
now, we know that he was interested in incorporating flood DNA into a new line of spartans however he needed a large source of it and had to do his research in private, he also ahd access to forerunner knowledge about certain locations(i cant remeber whether he got it from alpha halo or from that stone pulled off of reach) one of which was delta halo
well since they keep flood on hand at these installations it was good place to go and not only that, he could stand to gain even more tech because its a halo and contain lots of knowledge in its library, well where would the best place be to do research, the place i just mentioned
ok enough of that, when you first land on delta halo in the game, the part called hell jumpers, if you look on the surface as they show the piods coming down you will see that there are already pods there on the ground, now as far as i know, keys didnt send in a wave before the MC so the pods were there before the in amber clad arrived
the next bit of evidence are the boxes around the library, why would there be human boxes there? i dont think that keyes was planning a prolonged stay on the ring so it make nio sense to have lots of supplies sitting there and not only that, when your playing as the arbiter you see the marines running thru where they say "we'll hold out here as long as we can" well from the looks of things they are pretty bad off and i dont think they would have had time to get boxes into that area
then there is the fact that there are human combat forms already there, now it takes at least a couple hours for flood to assimilate someone so how could there be human combat forms there already if the in amber clad just arrived? there would had to of been humand already there in order for this to happen which goes back to ackerson
to tie all this together, the theory goes that ackerson was doing experiments with humans and flood DNA around the library and had set his base of operations there(the explanation for the boxes, and by the way, if you play these levels, read what the boxes say on them)
well, while experimenting there was a flood out break and that would be why the flood are already there
there is even some speculation that he made a pact of some kind with Truth, but thats a different story
