it doesn't make any sense the forerunners r all dead, it said so in the first halo and usualy dont make lyin games


Lets not get confused. I'm not sayin the Forerunners are still alive. Maybe someone activated the halos prematurely. I'm thinkin like a rogue monitor or something. Well not necessarily rogue but maybe overzealous in his programming.

E.g.

Programming: If the flood escapes, activate the halos
343 GS: Ok. Oh look! The Flood has escaped. Better activate them halos.
Forerunners: But we're not safe yet!
343 GS: But the flood will spread. Activating Halos.

You get the picture.


an installation monitor cannot activate the rings. you need a "reclaimer" to do that. 343 GS sais so at the beginning of "two betrayals"

your theory isn't the worst that i've heard, but i just want to point out a couple things. the teleportation system that is used buy 343GS utilizes a special system withing the halo ring, meaning he could no teleport himself off. cortana explains it at the end of two betrayals right before she teleports cheif to truth and reconcilliation. not to say that the forerunners aren't capable of building something with a little more juice but i think that they would have been too busy handling the flood. 343GS sais that the rings were built as a last resort weapon against the flood, specifically designed to combat them. when building something like that your not really putting much R&D into other projects that may seem irrelevant. from what i have grasped of the forerunners, they are not the type of race that was out for themeselves, they were worried about the rest of the galaxy and preventing the flood from spreading. again, not criticizing you, just bringing up some counter points.

Why does everyone keep harping on that point?! I said that if teleporters were out of the question, maybe a constant slipspace portal could've heen built. Looking at the Forerunners supreme technology, i think this is quite possible.

As for the reclaimer thing, weeeeelllll... i cant really answer that one. Maybe there was a reclaimer of some sort acting alongside 343 GS or maybe his programming changed after he realised that there were no more forerunners so his orders became obsolete of something.

Maybe even, his programming stated that a reclaimer (hence the prefix re ) was only needed upon a second activation for some reason about the forerunners possible survival or something.

i thought it was the physical handling of the icon that could only be handled by the reclaimer but i can't really remember. as far as the permanent slip-space thing, i'd have to read "the fall of reach again", i believe they mention how slip space works in that book. i couldn't really invision 343GS losing his mind so to speak and going against programming. considering his agenda is simply containment, and he followed protocol the entire time with MC in halo 1.

I dont think he'd be going against protocol. i mean, maybe he just took it too litereally or maybe the Forerunners were too short sighted in programming him because they were distressed about the rise of the flood.
