[Some Halo 4 spoilers within.]
A brief-ish thread questioning whether MB really was helping John-117, or in fact using him as a tool for his own atonement.
Let's have a look.
Our first thought was that MB wanted to help the Chief; save him in order to make p for all those he had slaughtered. In the final terminal of Halo 3 on Legendary difficulty, MB states that "One life hardly balances billions. But I would have my makers know that I have changed. And you will be my example".
It seems co-incidental that in the vast, empty nature of space, the portal just happens to send Chief to Requiem. We can, therefore, assume that Mendicant made it so.
But why?
Perhaps Mendicant "kept the path stable - kept it safe" to deliver Chief as an example....for a more devious intention. Is it possible that MB is loyal to the Didact and his kind, rather than loyal to simply atoning himself?
Didact himself states, at the end of Halo 4, that humanity stands as the greatest thread in the galaxy to the mantle of responsibility. Is it plausible that Mendicant delivered John to Requiem, in the knowledge that it would awaken the Didact from the Cryptum he was imprisoned in by the Librarian?
EDIT (thought I should summise my point): Did Mendicant Bias use the Chief as a wake-up call for the Didact, so that the Didact would see that humanity is a thread once more?
Any ideas?
