We also learned that:
- There was another Gravemind before the one stopped by the Forerunners and the modern one which is on the High Charity.
Quote:
It spoke to us
{/MOCKINGLY, DISMISSIVELY/}
It has done this before
{/ELSEWHERE/}- The Forerunners wanted to obliterate the antithesis of life: death (or the personification of death and darkness, the Flood).
Quote:
KNOW THAT ENERGETIC AND TENACIOUS AS LIFE IS
IT HAS AN
ANTITHESIS JUST AS POWERFUL
IT IS
THAT THING THAT WE
MUST OBLITERATE- The Forerunners created or found a rival, contender, to fight the flood.
Quote:
I pray that it doesn't come to that.
{/I PRAY THAT
THE CONTENDER SUCCEEDS WHERE OTHERS HAVE FAILED/}
- The title reclaimer refers to the one who will come to reclaim the Ark and revive the species which were destroyed by the Halo's firing and not just one who will reclaim their technology.
Quote:
The thing we built on that world will vouchsafe their lives,
{/But perhaps one day
it will be used for its intended purpose./}
If the plan succeeds, and they are saved, it will be a good world.
If the plan fails,
{/And the adversary succeeeds./}
it will remain an enigma forever
{/With no-one left
to reclaim it./}
The thing= The Ark= The thing
What do you think?
