I have been recently been looking into the gravemind message and have thought on what it could mean....I think I found out the answer.
"...I have walked among men and angels for three thousand years. Time has no end... no beginning... no purpose.
I wander the earth, seeking forgiveness for my horrible crimes against God and man.
I live to see death, destruction, over the light, but the light cannot be extinguished.
I live in a prison of my own demise.
I am lost in time... "
this message is found by recording the one of the two places given and reversed.
A. at the begining of the level The Arbiter.
B. during the level Gravmind when rescuing the marines.
I have walked among men and angels for three thousand years.
I can see this as a way of saying that gravemind might be a forerunner consumed by the flood. If im correct, the flood make you into a living corpse, I do kind of consider that living and dead at the same time. He has walked among men in the flood form. He has walking with Angels in his former form.
Time has no end... no beginning... no purpose.
The flood dont exist live and die like us, they could live for a millenium, so to them time is of no purpose, thus to them time has no end.
I wander the earth, seeking forgiveness for my horrible crimes against God and man.
I also think that the flood could've been a way of punishment of crime, such as murder, theft,
that kinda of stuff. I belive that The Gravemind has commited a heineas crime and was punished by the flood.
I live to see death, destruction, over the light, but the light cannot be extinguished.
He lives to see the death and destruction over the light, possibly the Halos? Trying to keep
them from becoming the "cleansing flame" from burning out all of the foods and nutrition of planets. This could also refer to the Ark.
I live in a prison of my own demise.
He lives within the Delta Halo, the Halos are a demise to the flood, in a way...
Gravemind himself in trapped inside the Halo, in someplace unspoken of.
I am lost in time...
...to them time is of no purpose, thus to them time has no end... he is lost in time becaus he does not pay to it as a purpose.
well that ends my theory of the gravemind message plz feel free to comment.
