It’s good to see an extensive explanation for the Storm faction. I look forward to reading The Thursday War.
So what you’re saying is, humanity 500 years from now is one, big, collective dueche? I think Master Chief needs to tell them what’s up.

Lol yes and no. I hate ONI with a passion. Yes theyre looking out for mankind, much like Cerberus though theyre rich, sneaky, powerful ***holes. Theres still a lot of honesty out there, Lord Hood being a perfect example. He intends to honor his peace treaty with Arbiter as long as Arbiter does the same, while ONI go behind his back to try have Arbiter killed lol. Jackals and Brutes are intergrating rather well, but ONI sees the Elites as too much of a threat, as the Elites do us. It was a loooong genocidal war, that neither side seems willing to let go just yet, which is understandable, but in light of the flood and now the forerunners, i hope they can learn to just get along
The whole letting him roam freely with an engineer is so dumb.

Hence why the thought-she-knew-it-all scientist who thought it was a great idea is no longer around lol
i’m going to be reading the thursday war in the near future so i didn’t read this post but if it isn’t relevant to halo 4 then it doesn’t go in the halo 4 section of these forums. it goes in the “halo universe” section or ever “general discussion”

considering the covenant we are fighting in Halo 4 are Storm Covenant, id say this is reasonably relevant? Ive seen a lot of people ask why wer fighting covenant again, why thier armors different etc etc, i was simply trying to provide answers for those people who arent going to get this info otherwise…
Cool.

So was Glasslands the first of the 3 or is it the second? Cause I never knew it was a planned trilogy (besides Greg Bear’s)

Glasslands was the first, Thursday War the second. I too didnt know it was a trilogy until i read “The riveting sequel in the new York Times bestselling Kilo-Five trilogy,” on the front cover lol
So wait, the storm covenant are some long lost colony of covenant that somehow have more-advanced weaponry yet no contact with the rest of the empire, and don’t even know the war is over? That plot is kind of weak if you ask me. . . I like the Storm better as the Covenant’s version of the Insurrection.
Did someone knock the didact out for all those yrs ?
Who is urdidact ?
Is the didact forerunner ?

There weaponry doesnt seem more advanced? they dont have needle rifles, nor plasma rifles or repeaters, less armor etc…
And technically theyre still rebels, they arent allied with the arbiter, who is the ‘leader’ of the elites as such.
I much prefer this new development, the rebels only have like 5 warships, possibly less now. Not very formiddable at all. Plus, ONI has a constant watch on them, and thier essentially in ONI’s pocket, wheras they have no idea about these others, giving them them a big advantage the rebels dont have…

He has been presumably asleep in his cryptum on Requiem all these years yes. The UR-Didact, not sure, possibly the original Didact, im sure well find out soon enough.
And yes, he was a warrior-class forerunner, the highest ranked promethean no-less.
thanks for posting this,now i wont be as confused when i play halo 4 
This tells us that the Didact gets cranky when he wakes up.

There are two Didact’s. The original is Ur-Didact.Bornstellar Didact is Bornstellar with Didact’s personality imprinted.
I had this theory in my head from reading Glasslands.

You mean to tell that the plasma repeater and the needle rifle are better than the sexinesses (it’s a word) that are the carbine and the storm rifle???
