I answered all of the quotes you posted from 2B, let me know what you think. Do you understand what Im saying about when the Halos were activated? That part makes all the difference. It happened in GS's past right, 100000 years ago...he couldnt very well say the rings were activated in the future right, that would give away the plot. Some of the Forerunners left on the arc for the past, Im sure meny were left behind, and they activated the rings, OR the Forerunners who escaped on the arc had control and activated the rings and then left...that part doesnt really matter. Fact is, everyone that wasnt on the arc when it left died, that means both flood and any forerunners who didnt leave on the arc.
The ones that did leave on the arc, took all the guilty sparks with them, and when they got to the past, the GSs all returned to the halos they were designated to. 100000 years go by, and in comes the reclamer the MC...now re-read those quotes...they make sence.
The only thing I have not explaned is why there are halos in the past, why there are halos if they have not yet been made...because my theory says they were built in the future right, so prehaps the halos traveled threw time as well with the arc, but stayed where they were supposed to. If this was the case, then all of the GS's could have stayed on each of them, and just been waitting for someone to show up...understand?
*Before I posted this, I read what you have added... so I will add a little more.
"No, because the rings have only been activated once in the current timeline. I can't say this enough..
2401 PENITENT TANGENT:
Not true. This installation has a successful utilization record of 1.2 trillion simulated and one actual. It is ready to fire on demand.
At this point in time, the rings have only been activated once!!"
That is right, but the rings wernt activated in this time line, they were activated in the future.
Only once. To GS that happened 100000 years ago. Now they have to activate the rings again. (in the past, in our time) But really, because the rings were activated in the future and they traveled back in time, the rings have never been activated before. (in this time) If the MC activates the rings, it will technicly be the first time in this time line, and once he travels to the future, to after the rings were activated by the forerunners (in the future) the rings will have been activated twice in total. When he arives in the future, there will still be no life because the forerunners will have just activated the rings. I would asume they would return to the Forerunners future but after the flood had starved themselfs out, so however much longer that would take, I dont know. But that may have been the reason why they kept flood for study, to see how long it would take for them to die maybe. What other porpose would there have been to keep some for study if the forerunners were just planning to kill themselfs anyways...what would be the point? If your going to kill yourself, you dont spend your last living moments studying for a test right. They must have thought that information would be useful if their desendants were going to know when a safe time would be to return right?
I need that drawing program so I can make a visual and link it easy...help me out someone.
