A personal / mental theory ...

Community Halo Universe

I ponder where the cannon story of our adored Halo-verse is heading for hours … DAILY . And a few questions that tie everything together from the games to the novels always HAUNT me .

These questions are as follows - Why haven’t the forerunners ( as we know at least the diadact survived the firing of the Halo array ) returned sooner to help us ’ reclaimers ’ ??

  • Why was the Chief and Cortana seemingly taken to Requiem and by whom ??
  • What is the Flood / Precursor link and where are they now ??
  • What is this ancient evil and why has it ’ awoken ’ now ??

We know that the Forerunners seriously underestimated the severity of the threat that Flood posed and reacted far too late . Paying the price with what we thought was total sacrificial suicide .

It went against their own ’ religion ’ the mantle to even fire the Halo array and cleanse the galaxy of all sentient life .
I feel this deep rooted eternal shame is what lead the didact to enter Crytum on Requiem itself … This and his supposed death of his beloved wife the librarian .

The librarians plans ( and they were also so VERY rushed and not all she’d have wished to have made ) were put into fruition and life in the galaxy was reseeded again as we know . The Flood was stopped ?

The Forerunner civilisation wouldve endured almost near destruction . The precious few who did survive would have all probably have been patiently waiting for the librarians plans to unravel ( possibly all in Cryptums ) long waiting for the reclaimers to rise from the ashes and awaken them to the knowledge that their crimes against the mantle were now pardonable . The Forerunners were deeply Noble as Cortana said herself … And I also feel they were near religious .

Now … This ’ Ancient evil ’ … I think after the reclaimers find the few surviving Forerunners , this Ancient evil’ awakens 'because it is of Precursor / flood classification , being that the Precursors ARE the flood , by the extent that the flood is an ’ extension ’ of the precursors by means of a telepathically controlled bio-weapon , are now maniacally enraged that the Foreunners weren’t apparently annihilated and now can’t / or haven’t fully , tested the humans and are now hell bent to reset all and retake the galaxy ?

I also believe that Medicant Bias ( who now is a integrated super daemon in Cortana herself ) lead the Chief knowingly to this Scenario to stop his things going full circle again .

This is all highly speculative , subjective , and personal . So feel free to discect , digest , and destroy at will . But it does nearly answer all the questions that haunt me as to the who , what , when , why now and how !!!

I’ve had a full blown halo-gasm finally putting it all in words .

I wish to thank Toa Freak , Nihilus Shadow , Decepticon Cobra , Deva Path and Born2Die for the inspiration I’ve absorbed from their thoughts and ideas I’ve read .

Thank you , hope you’ve enjoyed the read :wink:

Ps … Trolls will not be feed … They can keep themselfs under the bridge which we use to walk over troubled waters … And may only be casted stones as headshots as we do so .

Pps … In the next few months I realise I’m most probably going to shake my head and say " No Nick , you wasn’t even a quarter right " .

I don’t believe the Precursors to be the Flood, despite what the Primordial said. I feel like there’s more to it.
I know the symbol for Bias was in Cortana’s eye in Halo: Legends, but a lot of visuals in it were really weird. Not saying it isn’t possible, but I’ll wait till I see it first.

I also think there’s more to the Precursors character motive-wise that we haven’t learned yet.

You’re actually one of the people I forgot to also thank French .

Yes … There’s more . There’s always more . I just struggled to summarise it as briefly as I could .

The precursors motives are still so mysterious and It might be a complete oversight for me to even label them entirely evil . It’s also strange how the exact details were missing from the domain .

I just struggle thinking of it all now as anything other than part what I’ve said …

Please … Speculate how you’d tie it ALL up concisely and not abstractly … Coz I so struggle to do so .

4 will entice and tease and only Silentium will half satisfy .
I just can’t wait !!!

Loved your YouTube vid incidentally . Use it to explain things to friends who aren’t into reading the novels .

Thanks !!

Pretty sure Chief is being taken to Requiem because of his Gea. The Didact is who chief’s Gea represents and so I think that he’s going to Requiem because the Didact wants him to.

I know very little about the flood or the precursors so I can’t really comment on the second question.

As for the ancient evil, I will refer to my first statement about Geas. I have a feeling that the ancient evil WILL be the Didact, and it will awaken through the Gea inside of Chief. For anyone who doesn’t know, A Gea is like a person/life form’s memories and life pattern stored inside of another being (I’m no good at explaining so if anyone else wants to then go ahead). If I’m not mistaken, Chief has the Didact as his Gea, and that is the explanation for all of his ‘luck’. It’s not really luck, It’s all the Didact having an effect on chief’s actions.

I definitely think the Precursors will be the Ancient Evil, but there’s a lot more we need to know about them.

There are way too many possibilities for Halo 4 for me to figure out one theory I actually like.

*Deep breath full of realisation and frustration * Yes French , you’re unquestionably right . WAY to many theories and possibility for just one to be one tenth , no , one twentieth right :frowning: . I obsess to much with it all I confess .

MrHappy’ … I think the Chief may well have a Geas . But from how I interpreted a Geas is its was a genetic imprint and command set and instilled by the librarian herself at the birth of but a few humans she herself spared completely from being paralysingly gentically de-evolved ( as was the humans enforced punishment after the Human / Forerunner war ) . and Geas being taken as the Librarains hopes / aims / aspirations for any future Humans to have and evolve into with regards to her idealogy at the time .
With the after events of the firing of the rings taking into careful consideration , was the librarians ’ future sight ’ , or was she even able to , implement the codes / plans for the continuation of her sight / plans ??? What I mean is … Could she have guessed that FAR ahead … Did she know the future to that extent ??

It just becomes so abstract with that much foresight … Im sorry :frowning:

In the beginning, all it took was the energy within the Halo Ring to destroy all humanity, and the universe.

But it was for naught.

Now these questions arise, and I can basically say : Dwelling over what could be; is pointless.

We can do “what if’s”, question over every section of the Halo Universe, or we can sit and wait for it to unravel.

And that is my statement.

I just so love speculating and trying to guess the direction that Halo will end up going though void .
Ever since Halo2 I’d been guessing that the Forerunners were us ( humanity ) and I was delighted when Guilty Spark said in Halo3 - " You are the child of my makers , you are forerunner " . * Even though its established now that we actually aren’t directly the Forerunners children at all , we are two seperate Species * It so made my day at the time !!

And it’s painfully long until Halo 4 drops ( that probably won’t even reveal that much ) and even longer until the last Forerunner saga novel - Silentium . :frowning:

Speculation and discussion is all I have .

Wish more people gave their views or even wild wild guesses at the direction the story will take .

Well you know I have absolutly no knowledge of the Halo series at all?

I am 16 years old and stuff to.

I have not played Halo 1, 2, or 3. I could care less about them to be honest in my opinion. I do like the Forerunners though. Reclaimers to.

But I do wonder if 343 made a new race : The Inheritors? I mean, where did they get the name, Inheritor from anyway? What significance does it have with the Halo Universe?

the yautja-esque alien conquerers (no Not elites , but way more stronger) arrive en masse from another galaxy through a portal on requiem …and then we know they were originally the first and the favourite creations of the precursors and precursor-like themselves…so in the later games … the elites , brutes , basically most of the covies , (if he exists) the Ur Didact and his promethean army , The UNSC and the Innies all forming a coalition against this massively overpowered enemy ( A goliath vs David battle for the milky way)…then there are sacrifices , epic characters dying, some huge shock , Chief kicking major butts , Coalition wins , peace exists , eulogy time blah blah blah

There you wanted a wild guess , I gave you a wild theory. xD
