Re: Server 2 Image and Video Discussion

I just had a thought. Since Earth is probably the Ark, you wouldn't leave something like that unattended. It would make sense if the Forerunners decided to use Mars as another shield world, just so highly much more complex since its so close to the Ark. That's why we haven't heard of this idea befo...

Re: Shield Worlds

Part of a bigger plan? :? It is interesting, but perhaps even the Forerunners in their technology needed time to retreat behind the shield...? FTL travel in the Halo Universe sure isn't instantaneous, or humans wouldn't need cryo for long jumps. You're only half right. The human FTL drives aren't f...

Re: Server 2 Image and Video Discussion

http://glx.sourceforge.net/ Well this is a little odd. It appears Google'ing "Gle" has brought up that site above. It appears to be some sort of programming language that when installed mentions ghostscript in a command prompt. Perhaps through Gle's command prompt something will turn up? ...

Re: playing catch up

Perhaps GM had Regret in the same state, with enough of his brain left to chatter on about the great journey but still hopelessly infected until he dies like Jenkins or succumbs completely like Keyes. Couldn't he just teleport away? And he seemed quite amenable to Gravemind. I agree, 2401 could mos...

Re: Gravemind - Once Malevolent, Now Stirring?

As for 2401 idk, maybe Gravemind has some electromagnetic discharge the it uses to keep the monitor in check, like how an eel stuns its prey. It gets so lonely in the Library. I'm sure PT was just looking for someone to talk to. Gravemind was seen there giving him a big hug! :roll: But honestly, if...

Re: The Flood: Natural or Artificial?

System, I find it interesting that in some ways a Flood infection form looks like a life-sized virus, with that space-capsule look, just rounded out a bit. I suppose to keep along Occam's Razor, if it ain't broke, don't fix it--I would theorize that the Flood are the result of a virus that has evolv...

Or if you subscribe to string theory, what made up the strings?

Sorry to bring this up, but the back cover of the book says Onyx is triggered when the MC destroys Halo 04. I've read the book, and I remember that quote. I suppose we just have a double standard here.
