[QUOTE="Tenebrae, post: 122893, member: 5970"] I agree, but it still has a good story... at least, I think so. Uh, the gravemind, I think, is like the "father" of the flood. In Halo 2, the Arbiter calls him the Parasite, which is the same word that the Covenant uses to refer to the flood. I bet that its kinda similar to starcraft. The Xel'Naga created the Protoss, who turned against them. Likewise, the Foerunner probably created the Gravemind, which turned against them and started spawning a bunch of little onions that ate living things and turned them into zombies, lol. That's why they decided to create the rings, both to contain their "science project gone wrong", and to destroy pretty much anything that the flood could eat. And about Vess's opinion about humans being "tools", not "descendants".... hmmm... that does kinda make me wonder. It's possible, but I can't really bring myself to agree unless I found evidence about it. Then again, I've only found possible theories about humans being their descendants, so either one could be right. *groan*, I can't wait 'till this game comes out so I can find out what the crap is going on! I think Cortana knows what's gonna happen in the end, cuz if you watch after the credits on Halo 2, there's a little cutscene that shows her talking with the Gravemind, who apparently knows pretty much everything. She probably found out the future, thus her saying "This is how the world ends." I'll bet what's gonna happen is that the Master Chief will hear some thing about how it is the natural order of the universe or whatever that Halo has to be activated to destroy all living things so that the flood will eventually die as well. But then he'll be all like, "Well, I think I'll take my chances," and he'll stop the Ark from being activated, and then some war will begin between humanity, the Covenant, and the Flood, which will probably last for hundreds of thousands of years. Either that, or the Ark will just be activated, and everyone'll die, mua ha ha. Another thing that makes me wonder is this: Is Cortana gonna die? Cuz in the book, it mentions how the AI's eventually pretty much overload because over time, they gather so much information that its just too much for them to handle. So either, Cortana is going to die, or, because she's a "special" AI, she'll find someway to defy that reality and keep on living. *sigh*, I think I might be taking this game a little too seriously. lol [/QUOTE]
