[@HoneyBadger363]

No, he is right, Keyes was still himself, the Flood was trying to access his CNI Transponder for the Pillar of Autumn's codes and the location of Earth. Keyes was fighting the infection when he kept repeating his rank to throw off the Flood intelligence trying to access the CNI Transponder. So he was still technically alive when Chief put him out of his misery...that's the whole point of his segment fighting the Flood mind invasion. The same deal happened with PVT. Jenkins in Halo: The Flood novel when he communicated using his last bit of himself (he was already infected and turned into a partial Flood Combat form) to cause the Truth and Reconciliation to crash on Alpha Halo to prevent the Flood infection from reaching Earth (Major Silva, ODST and Marine survivors commandeered the ship with Flood still inside to try and get off the ring and bring a captured Covenant ship and the Prophet of Stewardship (being the most valuable and principle objective target for Operation Red Flag and the Pillar of Autumn) for Humans to study since they normally self destructed when attempted to be captured by Human forces and no Prophets have ever been captured alive before to be used as a Prisoner of War to barter a Truce with the Covenant). Since PVT. Jenkins was partially infected, he could "hear" the thoughts of the FLood collective intelligence and alerted those around him the plan of the Flood to infect Earth and spread.

Mr.Tweezy007 what I was thinking was the ai wanted the covenant to fire the rings so he could do what ever he wanted without the covenant breathing down his back

[@darkpuppetlordful]

Don't the covenant use the hunter worms instead of AI (i know one of the terminals in 2 shows a worm crawling into a shio and it turned on. And also Scarabs are partially Worm). If that's the case the Hunter's might have known they'd be safe from the flood as they lack sufficient biomass (also i dunno the worms lifespan, but the bigger the colony the smarter they collectively get)

[@oreodepup]

OneArmedGhoul they use the worms almost as wires or internal mechanisms. They aren’t really ai though. The hunters can form a plethora of bodies that can be armored and used as weapons, tanks, or soldiers. They are also quite smart and they seem to be able to reason and ponder especially when they are all communicating. The scene where it goes into the forerunner ship shows it’s intelligence because it relays information back to the prophets and knows how to work forerunner tech Also the covenant use the code from old human ai. They are corrupted however and seem to be degraded from either the cole protocol or the covenants lack of understanding of the technology

I always wondered why does Guilty spark assumes that humans and covenants alike know about the Halo array and it's purpose... then again: the galaxy is littered with Forerunner technology, and NOT ONE monitor to explain shit to space-faring humans. Just write in a piece of paper: "you own the galaxy now, buy milk, activate halo if the flood return" and stick it to a rock on the Moon. Done.

[@HoodedLord]

Yeah that really was the thing that always irked me about the forerunners (or other ancient mysteriously absent entities/races for that matter) they didnt even bother to explain in the most basic of terms what the Flood was, what the Rings were and why all of their tech was left behind for humanity. I mean pull a Prothean or 2001 Space Odyssey Monolith and leave a massive honkin archive on mars for christ sake with half a dozen AIs or monitors or something. Just explain shit in clear and concise terms so that even the most paraliticaly stupid people understand shit, so nobody mucks everything up it's really not that hard.

Gotta remember, 343 is going crazy by this point. And he has no way of knowing humanity doesn't know. For all he knows, they do. I mean, they show up at the ring, something no one in the entire galaxy is supposed to know about. Something so secret, he blocks the distress beacon from that crashed ship. He also really doesn't get a chance to talk to any humans, as they're too busy trying not to die. However, I do agree that explanation has some issues and holes. The best answer is simply "because the plot demands it". With the exception of The Fall of Reach, Halo 1 was truly the first of the Halo lore. They didn't know where the lore would be 20 years later. Hell, large portions of The Fall of Reach aren't even canon anymore!

[@elijahwatson3474]

Okay here 343GS point of view. The Halos was basically nukes that you should eat before even going to the areas. That why he was confused of people ignorance because the Covenant/UNSC/ONI hiding critical information.

I don't think anyone could do what Keyes did. To withhold information from the Gravemind, especially the location of Earth, would've been impossible.

I know a lot of people have said 343 talking to the Chief and assuming he's Bornstellar is because he's crazy and confused, but I think this proves otherwise.

Wait, so if 343 knew that the humans were coming and we’re being attacked by the Covenant, why didn’t he use the defenses to defend the Pillar of Autumn?

1. 343 was going crazy by this point. Remember, he was venting out portions of the ring for "research", but for no reason really. He's talking to himself, and wishing for another monitor to speak with. So, he really isn't all there by the time of Halo 1. 2. "Protocol dictates my response" 343 is programmed with really only two things in mind. Monitor the ring, and prevent outbreak. That's it. And he was around when the rings were originally fired, so he knows firsthand how dangerous the flood is. Using up any of his resources that are intended to prevent outbreaks for anything, even if it's helping the reclaimers, is completely contradictory to his protocols. He simply can't do it. That doesn't mean he doesn't try. We see in his talk with covenant AI, he demands they stop their violence against the reclaimers. It's only when the flood is released that 343 can take a more "lethal" approach, because protocol has changed.

Eventually Humanity showed up, and assumed they knew of the rings and were searching for them from the get go, despite it being hte opposite. Then everyone was trying to survive Keys got hit by the flood and struggled to strip himself down to name, rank, and serial number until Chief came to kill him and end the suffering caused by the protogravemind. So Spark never got to know the truth until Chief refused to fire the halos. He then started reminiscing about the Librarian and the Diadact, as well as how humanity didnt follow an unknown protocol and how the forerunner drones would do things different, and decided to use the Covenant to get in contact with the other rings and use them. still wondering if he ever ended up losing to rampancy.

What's up with the code at the start of each terminal?

They appear at the end of each terminal. You would input them into Waypoint to unlock stuff for Reach if I remember right.

man the halo story is the best. so in-depth and intriguing. can't wait for halo 4 to finnish the story. they should make an intimated halo movie, like a 2hr cutscene???

[@kineticdeath]

@bearguyful the forerunners is the race that built the halos. The back story is flood invaded ancient human space. Ancient humans invaded forerunner space while fighting flood (they were pushed back). Forerunners were commanded by the Didact in war against the ancient humans. They won then 9k years later fought the flood. Losing the flood war they built the halo's as a doomsday switch against the flood. Thats the raw basics of it

[@strikezero01]

wait... I remember at First Halo , when Cortona mention that there were Covenant Ships hiding in the other side of the Planet, they were ahead of them but couldn't land on Installation 04 due to its perimeter defense

[@theravenlordmasterofthevib8991]

What logic is there in preserving the flood for study in the hopes of finding an immunization/cure when the weapons you built would completely eradicate them, thereby negating the need for a cure?

[@takedown205productions6]

... Because destroying an entire galaxy's worth of life, is harder to compensate for than finding a method of curing the flood.

[@takedown205productions6]

@@theravenlordmasterofthevib8991 Sure, we have a big ol' super weapon to kill the flood with, but the flood came in from beyond the galaxy, after being chased to Andromeda by the Forerunners. Humanity inadvertently found a cure via Johnson, and his Boren's Syndrome; by scrambling his neural frequencies, he was deemed unusable by the flood. Hence, how he survived the swamp in CE. Edit: I point this out, because the Flood is an existential threat. You can only hit the big red button so many times, before something gives and it fails.

The death of Keyes might be one of the most tragic in the entire Halo franchise, second only to when Dr Halsey finds out that Miranda was killed.

[@jaydub6928]

Imagine how different things might have been if they were able to get guilty sparks message approaching the ring

[@ZchinoZ94]

I'm curious. With the unknown vessel that landed on the ring that Spark investigated, while reading up on Halopedia and all the theories behind what its origins may be, I was wondering something that no one really touched on when I researched it: was that ship manned? I know there was quite a bit of time before Spark did a more thorough investigation, and there was nothing showing up on the motion sensors, so did any life in that ship just decomposed rapidly into dust, perhaps disintegrated upon impact, or was it just an unmanned ship?

[@millerbob918]

Maybe when the ring fired it killed all aboard and it drifted towards the ring, got dragged in to the ring gravity and crashed?

[@1212-e6y]

I love there cutscenes

[@jacobdennison968]

Do slightly confused about one thing here:the construct 343 talks to in the truth and reconciliation sounds like the didact, and the dialogue is in line with him as well talking about being the only thing remaining after the firing of the rings again and attaining freedom. Is it actually him? Or what I’m rather perplexed

[@My19922]

The Humans and the Forerunners were already rivals.

[@ethanhooper8606]

not exactly, the forerunners thought Ancient Humanity was invading them so they started a war, but they were Running, from the Flood, when the Forerunners realised, it was already too late

if im translating their weird speech correctly it seems the covenant AI wanted to fire the Halo's so it could be free of them, no more masters for it to do their bidding...

[@ciknay547]

The Didact was a Forerunner Warrior, and was legendary for his battles against the flood. I had presumed that he, along all the other forerunners, died when the array was set off. 343i somehow intends to bring him back, and make him evil...
