let me state what i wrote in another topic. it proves the death of the whole race (or at least in this galaxy)

i finally realised what the monitor meant by "Why do you hesitate to do what you've alredy done." in the book, the flood, the monitor talks to the MC as if they have alredy met. he also refers to the MC as 'reclaimer,' and talks about a previous person the monitor called reclaimer, as if he and the MC are the same person. the previous reclaimer was a fourrunner, and activated halo because the flood could not be contained. this reclaimer knew what would happen if halo was activated, and asked the monitor what to do. "having considerable time to ponder your quary (the 101,217 years the monitor had been left alone on halo), my answer has not changed, there is no choice. we must activate the ring." this means the monitor told the original reclaimer to activate halo, and of course, he complied. since this reclaimer alredy activated halo, the monitor asks why this new reclaimer would refuse to do what "he"(remember the monitor thinks all the people he has called reclaimer are the same person) has done before.
