OK, FIRST: I said smartsmen not coining the phrase, i forget who, but someone recently claimed it - and i have a truly RELEVANT theory at hand here. It came to me reading the beginning of The Flood again. I went to a court hearing as a field trip for Government class, and read the whole time. Finished Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" (-blam!-ED UP book) and started reading the Flood. FoR is at a friend's house, and FS is too new.

Number one on our DOCKET: (haha, court hearing, right.)

* Atmosphere on Halo; Earth: BIGTIME SHIZNIT GOIN' DOWN HERE. Ready? No? Good.

My take on the Universe, and any other intelligent, sentient life out there, is that said plainly in the movie "Contact": "If we're all alone, than it's an awful waste of space, huh?"

And WITH that comes all the potential for alien life, and how it's evolved on it's respective planets. With ALL the possibilities in the development of a planet, it's almost a milion-billion-trillion-bajillia-FRIGGIN-ZILLION to ONE that a planet with life on it has the exact same conditions as ours.

Two things come from MY theory: ONE, that it's funny how 5 of 6, maybe more, Covie species breathe the same blend of Oxygen and Nitrogen bullcrap that we do.

And TWO: That Halo's atmosphere is the EXACT SAME as ours.

More hints towards our ancient human selves, or future time-travelling selves, are INDEED the Forerunner?

YAH. THOUGHT so.

SECOND:

* I was thinking, with their individual breathers, that if the Grunts move into a evacuated area (i.e. VACUUM [spelling?]) can they still breathe? Then i thought about exposed skin, and a slight, malicious smile flickered in the corner of my lips as i thought of a Grunt being torn to pieces by a black, inky, invisible force...the luminous, cerulean geysers spewing from his eyes, his breather, his very PORES....then slowly, agonizingly, coming apart at the SEAMS. Haha. Stupid space chicken.

THIRD:

* I was reading how Dietz described Ship Master 'Fulsamee's LOATHING of the Prophet's interpreter, how the Prophets werehigher beings, and 'Fulsamee remembered hunting small rodents in his childhood, and is snapped back to reality. Allow me to quote:

Page 5, Bottom, Halo: The Flood. ".....Though only a minor Prophet, he still outranked 'Fulsamee, as his bearing made clear. True sayings aside, the Ship Master couldn't help but be reminded of the tiny, squealing rodents he had hunted in his childhood. He immediately banished the memory of blood on his claws and returned his attention to the Prophet, and his tiresome assisstant."

It almost seems as if he's speaking of..... Prophets.... he was hunting. BUT they're different species, on different planets, but it's still possible. Or not. Just bad grammar by Dietz. Still, i believe ALL the books kick-ass - only, sopme WAY more than others.

(I wrote a bit on the Fall of Reach on my AP English exam. YES, i am a freak.)

FOURTH:

* I also noticed, when the Chief lands in the doomed Bumblebee escape pod, that when he crosses the bridge, eludes the second Banshee, and leaps off the rocks to the camping Marines, the Elites dashing about the trees - he takes out a blue rookie, and a Vet tries to flan him, and he hucks an M9 frag grenade, and takes out the crimson Elite, an splinters the branches and bark along a nearby tree.

HOW MUCH ASS would that KICK to see in Halo 2? i KNOW about the destructable environments, but what about TREES??

Ok, ok....i'm done. HAVE AT IT, my BRETHREN!!!!

It is my theory that the Brutes are Forerunner. The Covenant uses them as temple guards; who better to guard the temples than their builders? The Cortana letters say that the creators of Halo "must now be in chains." Control by the Prophets is chaining, all right. Also, the Brutes rebel in Halo 2 (they announced there would be a Brute race fighting humans and Covenant.) They don't want to be ruled by the other Covenant anymore. Also, I think that the Brutes are somehow related to both Prophets and Humans.

i belive that the forerunner are basically humans. but they discovered a disease (Flood) and were not able to contain it. so in a last ditch effort with all there technology they biult halos about the galaxy so this virus would not spread to other galaxies (just the polite thing to do) and we startred over from square one leading to the poitn when they were discovered

[color=white]The Grunts have methane breathers. They breathe methane. The Elites, Hunters (and maybe Brutes) wear armor. I tink that those races have breathers built in, I'm not certain. I think the Jackals are the only ones that don't wear any protection according to the novels.[/color]

[color=white]You know, I was thinking the same thing. It seems that the author kind of changed subject, which I've learned with reading other books is a sign of a hint. ;D[/color]

That's alot of coincidences, but that's all they could be, coincidences. The evidence for human forrunners seems to be piling up, so I guess we'll see.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Well if the books are anything to consider....(and they have beeb tied very well to the game)... it seems at the end of FS that the Brutes and the Prohepts are up to something big.....and IMO it's going to come down to them vs the Elites...(not sure where the other races fall under), so... it'll be VERY interesting to see what happens.. And I too support the idea that the Humans were once the Forerunner....

OK. just checking this after i posted it last night. I think a few things:

ONE. Posted: 5/18/2004 8:37 PM

Yah, uh i said 5 out of SIX. That leaves ONE to breathe UN-OXYGEN. Silly.

TWO: IMO, i think we're placing WAY too much faith in the sheer CAPACITY of this new race. I do NOT think they're forerunner - there's simply not enough we know about them. esides, they're big, ugly, ferocious, hairy, and mean. Not exactly an open-minded, scientific society, if you ask me. I like the idea of Covies battling Covies......I posted something a while back about enemies duking it out with each other due to friendly fire and stuff, comparing it to old-school DOOM.

THREE: Thanks, Maka. You've found a very good.......self-determined LABEL, if anything. i sorta like it's ironic backround: giving title to someone who's so smart, yet not very grammatically correct. At all. Ha.

FOUR: I like pie. Do you like pie? i like pie.

Keep 'em coming!!
