Subject: Question's from Primordium *SPOILERS*

I cap fools.

So I literally just finished Primordium, and I'm confused:

Is 343 Guilty Spark Chakas? I feel like this was heavily implied at the end.

Are Precursors the Flood?

If the Precursors are the Flood, what was the Primordial?

What UNSC ship is interrogating Chakas/ Guilty Spark? (The Infinity?)

What are the Reclaimers reclaiming?

Thanks!

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

It was clearly established throughout the novel that chakas is chakas. 343 is just one of his fragments.


At this point the precursors and the flood appear to be the same. But that doesn't meant that was always the case or this is all the information on the matter.

The primordial was some type of flood. We don't have any knowledge other than that.

I Just found a connection so check out the chakas thread.


we don't know

Inside the Mind of Halotitan Help me get expand my mind.

1. Yes. His body was too damaged to salvaged, but the Didact salvaged his mind and turned him into a monitor. It's been a little bit since I've finished the book, but I do think it is implied that he is indeed 343 and not some other monitor.

2. No, the Precursors are their own race. They're responsible for seeding life into the milky way and they also determined what race would be worthy of the mantle. The Forerunners where created by the Precursors as were humans, but the Forerunners managed to defeat them in war when they realized the Precursors were going to erase them. If one isn't worthy of the mantle, the Precursors would destroy them and the Forerunners were not worthy.

3. The Primordial is a flood. It's a Gravemind.

4. I don't think they say exactly what ship they're on, but I think it's safe to assume it's The Infinity.

5. Reclaimer is what the Forerunners call humans because they designated the humans to be the inheritors of Forerunner civilization.

Not all of my facts may be accurate because it has been a while since I've read all of the books. If you want the most accurate information head on over to Halopedia

What are the Reclaimers reclaiming?


Throughout the first trilogy, we were led to believe 'Reclaimer' referred to humanity being the chosen successors/descendants of the Forerunners and thus, that we'd reclaim everything they left behind.

But after the Forerunner trilogy and all the recent canon... I'm more inclined to believe we're to reclaim ourselves. Learn of our ancient ancestors and the civilisation they had, and reclaim what the Forerunners took from us when they won the war.

I have been saying that for years though the only issue with that is the fact the forerunners meddled with us. According to chakas nearly every important Female is a piece of the librarian which means our achievements aren't really ours. This is shown in glasslands with us walking into tier 2 tech because of reverse engineering technology instead of us making it ourselves.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Spark is one of many fragments of Chakas.
