you failed to look at the fact that guilty spark knows what a human is even though they had been only there for a few days. also the humans ditched the pillar of autmn when it went down so where would they get the technology to reverse engineer the forrunner hardware. also no ones even seen the controll room so how did the chief know to bring a converter with him? the one fact that even I overlooked is that Guilty Spark can speak english and a few days is an insufficent amount of time to peiece together a language.
Of course 343 knows what a human is, and if he knows what a human
is, why would he tell a human (Spartan 117) to stop being human?
Why would he pick humans as reclaimers when he obviously sees
them as inferior? It must be a case of mistaken identity. If you know
what Marathon is, this will interest you.
In Marathon, there was a terminal that had a quote from Shakespeare
in it. It read:
I am an ass indeed: you may prove it by my
long ears. I have served him from the hour
of my nativity to this instant, and have
nothing at this hands for my service but
blows: when I am cold he heats me with
beating, when I am warm he cools me with
beating. I am waked with it when I sleep;
raised with it when I sit; driven out of
doors with it when I go from home; welcomed
home with it when I return: nay, I bear it
on my shoulders as a beggar wont her brat;
and I think, when he hath lamed me, I shall
beg it from door to door.
Marathon and Halo have many similar themes, and this particular
quote is from a play called The Comedy of Errors. It was dealt with
mistaken identities.
I also wrote about how 343 could mistake humans for Forerunner
in an earlier post.
Humans would get the Forerunner technoloy from other sites, maybe
even the Halo itself. (Eagle 117 has made many convincing posts that
all but prove that humans were on Halo before the actual events of the
game)
Also, 343 GS says one very important word in the Maw if you listen
carefully.
Inconsistent.
Cortana derived the coordinates of Halo from the symbols found on the artifact at Sigma Octanus IV (p.335-336, TFoR). That same artifact was used to send a Covenant transmission from the planet Sigma Octanus IV to a Covenant stealth ship in orbit around the planet. Keys (Iroquois) intercepted this same transmission, and we later find that the transmission and artifact symbols were viewed by Col. Ackerson (p.231-235, TFoR)
We know that the artifact found on Sigma Octanus IV gave two coordinates. It gave the coordinates to the Epsilon Eridani system (Reach)(p.130, FS), and it gave the coordinates to Halo 04 (Cortana finds this). In the S-III file there are two sets of coordinates. One coordinate, which is plainly stated to be taken from the artifact symbols found on Sigma Octanus IV, gives the location of Reach. The other location in the S-III file is in uncontrolled UNSC space. I then derived that the two sets of coordinates, which are both located in the same file (S-III), and around the discussion of the artifact found on Sigma Octanus IV, are a likely 99% match.(p.130, FS).
Given that Ackerson derived the coordinates of the Epsilon Eridani system (Reach) from the symbols on the artifact, then it's logical to conclude that he also found the location of Halo 04 from the symbols on the artifact as Cortana did (p.335 - 336).
