Subject: The Prophets Are Forrunners And They Know Exacly What The Rings Do.

We are a generation commanded by fate to defend
humankind ! We must meet the threat with our valor,
our blood, with our very lives, to insure that human
civilization, not elite dominates this galaxy now
and always.
we need soldiers, SOLDERS LIKE YOU!

WE WILL FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!

Maybe the prophets are forerunners and are deceiving the covenant and using them to reactivate the halos and kill off the flood. I mean if the humans could figure out that halo was a weapon the prophets must know what it dose. They probably want to wipeout the humans because the object under the earth is some kind of failsafe device that can disable all the halos and they don’t want to risk them getting to it and now they are trying to destroy it. or there is somthing else we dont know about the humans that could case the prophets to fear them.

The prophets are the dumbest of all. They think the rings will bring salvation for the covenant, they know nothing of the rings.

unless there just saying that to trick the covenant into helping them activate halo.

Ya, I think the prophets know more then we think, they probably have some other plan and are just using the other Covenant races as pawns. We'll see in Halo 3.

I'll give you kudos since it's a good theory, but I am afraid I will have to burst your bubble.

Before the alliance of the Covenant the Elite race and the race of the Prophets were at war. Then while at battle they found artifacts that there were the rings and they misread these artifacts through poor translation, they read them as rings of glory and salvation. So they allied, then the rest joined in later times (That's why the Elites were the guardians of the prophets). Thousands of years later they found more artifacts and drew closer to solving the enigma of the rings. And then they ran into the Humans...

If you watch the deleted cutscences in special features on the Halo 2 special edition disk. It tells a little about what was typed above.

Err, you realize that if the prophets activated the halos, theyd die too? Anyway, the reason humans figured out halo was a weapon is because they heard it from the covenant. This doesnt change anything, but still...

The humans found out that halo was a weapon from Cortana being in the network. Go watch the beggining cutscene in Two Betrayals.

y would the prophets lie to the covenant and make it a huge religious thing when they could easily have just said that you will all die from the flood if we dont activate the rings.

Notice how in Halo: CE the Covenant had control of the Control Room of Installation 04 and didn't activate it.

The prophets could be doing anything all we can do is assume. and when you assume you make a ASS out of U and ME.

You relise the Forunners only activated the halos in the first placing, knowin they'd die, but if it meant killing the flood, then it would be worth it. too bad it was all in vein.

forunners aint gods. they would need massive armies.



If the theory is correct, Then to all the idiots asking why make it a religion. they are playing intergaltic chess, using the covanant as pawns, the cheif as the enemies king. and cortonna and flood the enemys pawns, queen and everything else.

Chess. simple game. Prophets (kings + Quenns) use the rest of the covenant as a massive army (pawns) cleverly elaborating their long time scheme.



And yes the covie in halo:Ce were right by the controll room, but in Halo2 it clearly states that they would wait for a main prophet to do their sermon.

In my opinion the prophets are not the forerunners. I think the humans are. The architecture looks like human architecture. If you have seen the Halo 3 trailer, there is something funny going on in Earth. I bet that the Earth is a Halo ring. Why would the covenant be gathering at that funny place. It's probably some activation area. Cortana talked about knowing Master Chiefs past. What would that mean? It can't mean something stupid like your dad died when you were three. And anyways, it it the ideal twist. So ideal that I think it is quite obvious.

But I could be wrong and you could all be right. Who knows. Except Bungie.

If we were, the halo's were made 100,000 years ago. were was the technology of thattime (No not alantis!)

A halo ring? WTF? it couldn't even fit in earth! hlao's are massive! (small next to gas-giants is all)

Covenant don't just sourround Halo ringworlds ya know. they also surround planets that may have artifacts to do with the forunners. in this case. the ark. the activation place of every halo.

She's been with him on all of halo:CE and Halo 2. minimal of a year. im guessing knowing ne week of his life is his past. so she does know his past, quite easily.

and he died when he was 14. you sicko.

ok, historical reference....THE HOLY GRAIL!

the prophets seem to bear an uncanny resemblance to a midevil christian high priest that wants god's super cup and sent the kings and such on crusades...failing i might add....and looks like the religeous blindness that i see all around that closes peoples minds and they only see it their way.

the elites have opened their eyes and now oppose the covenant and their faith.

i dont think the prophets will betray the covenant as they already have

in halo 2 where the whole place is replaced with brutes and the covenant are shunted out.

i think the arbiter was with the covies???
and in the end MC and Arbiter dont think so bad about each other.

i think the last of the prophets will pull a twist and somehow take over the flood that has taken over cortana.

so then the flood will make cortana tell MC what to do and how to destroy the covenant :)

1.ALL of them are the covenant as a group, no matter who is shunted

2.the prophets dont know about gravemind, MC and the Arbitor do

3.the arbitor LEFT the covenant and, by covie standards, became a HERETIC
