*sighs* captain keyes wasn't turning into a gravemind.
Yes he was. It was confirmed by Joseph Staten.
Really? I've never heard that before, however I'm not about to question the word of opogjijijp or anything. Well, that just changes everything doesn't it...
So therefore I suppose that there could be multiple Graveminds, and that their creation isn't that difficult or rare. It also implies that the flood need only be released for a very short amount of time before they create a "Gravemind".
I think that the "Keyes Blob" was harvesting Covenant information from the 'Truth and Reconciliation', which was being added to Cptn. Keyes' own knowledge. Maybe this new type of flood can assimilate other forms - a la Regret - in order to expand its own intelligence.
This also implies that perhaps a "Keyes Blob"-esque flood creature could have been being formed on the Pillar of Autumn, as long as a "host" of requisite intelligence and knowledge had been found, or perhaps a base of enough information, like the "T & R".
Also that "Keyes Blob" was formed pretty quickly after Keyes was talking to John over the radio... I rekon he was being assimilated by the blob like Regret was. I think he was being manipulated by the blob, or hadn't realised the chief and cortana's plans.
Can opogjijijp find where Staten said this? I'm sure I'm on to something here...
