Let’s say you were one of very few to enter one of the first, very stable cryosleep chamber pods. About 500 years later, you wake on the UNSC Infinity with nearly full memory of your past. A captain asks you who you are and why you are aboard the ship. How do you react? I just want to see how people would.
Personally I’d tell them that the entire Halo universe of the video-game had become true and I couldn’t believe it. I would ask what I could do to help onboard and tell them about previous events in history, and try to adapt to the 2500’s.

It’s like the 26th century, by that time human population would have greatly increased. How much is “most”? I wouldn’t want to exactly live in the Halo universe, but the whole storyline is pretty cool. Dramatic and epic. That doesn’t mean I want it to happen though. However, I’d love to be an ODST. Even though I’d probably die a very painful death, it’s only temporary and would all be worth it in the end.

I think by the end of the human covenant war, over 60% of the human population was killed. So basically, flip a coin to see if you and anyone else you know survives and you’d still be beating the odds.

Human population is decreasing, look at countries like Italy where their population is going negative; more dying than being born. That’s happening all over, you could say the population could be anything then.
yeah, I’d be like “ummmmmm well guys you see, we have a problem” (if before CE)…“you’re gonna need guns…lots and lots of guns, and by the way you need to blow up a big ring…just a heads up”
