We know that rampancy exists in the Halo universe (what with the situation with Cortana). However, is there any possibility that this could apply to 343 Guilty Spark in his 100,000 years of isolation on Alpha Halo? There are a few odd holes in the current story that we know.
1. Halo is supposed to wipe out all sentient life and force the Flood to starve to death. If this is true, what have the Flood eaten to sustain themselves in their 100,000 years in containment since the last firing? Each other? Their survival is unexplained.
2. The only explanation we have of Halo's inner workings are from 343 Guilty Spark/Gravemind/Cortana. Seeing as how the former two are technically enemies in the games that they are introduced in, does Cortana follow this pattern? Could they be rampant/lying?
But...
3. Given the fact that Cortana absorbed raw data about the superweapon in Alpha Halo's computer, is this theory moot, or is the data flawed?
Feel free to discuss.
