whatever; we're all equally edible. The only way to stop the Flood is to
starve them to death and that's exactly what Halo is designed to do - wipe the
galaxy clean of all sentient life. You don't believe me? Ask him!

Master Chief: Is it true?

Monitor: More or less. Technically this installation's pulse has a maximum
effective radius of twenty five thousand light years, but once the others
follow suit, this galaxy will be quite devoid of life, or any least any life
with sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood...But you already knew that, I
mean, how couldn't you?

Cortana: Left out that little detail, did he?

Origins stayed pretty true to the story. Anyone who read the Mendicant Bias terminals would know.

Shame Mendicant and Offensive didn't make a cameo.

I'm also half-tempted to recreate that sword-gun thing, I've got an idea of how to tag it.

E: this thing

I think this is the first episode of Halo Legends that I've actually enjoyed, and quite a bit at that. I take back what I've said before about it.

so, from what i can tell everyone likes this episode?

I liked it, but one thing bothered me.

The halo rings ended up at all of the covenant species home worlds? And all of them where 'reclaimers' too?

The whole forerunners 'saving and repopulating' species was a little under explained if you ask me.

And if the covenant species had halo's of their own, and they where 'blessed' by the forerunners like the Humans, why didn't they activate their 'great journey' themselves. Or for that matter go looking for more halo's in general.

Other then that I really liked it, art was good...etc liked the look of the forerunners too and still managed to keep the sense of mystery.

I think the whole flood dying when the halo's where activated was either killing the sentient beings of the flood hairacy or it was just for visual effect to show what would happen to the floor, for the sake of the story.

I did it because I doubt anybody else would have.

Only the Prophet species wanted to go on this "great journey". The other species, such as the elites, just worshiped the forerunner artifacts. And while the other species "got halos", the Humans did not, they got a more important artifact, the portal to the Ark. This leads me to believe Humans are still the only reclaimers and are the only ones that can activate Forerunner technology.

That's what i am now led to believe yeah, that the Humans where 'special' in the forerunners eyes and they decided to make them the reclaimers, but also still keep the population of this galaxy alive after the halo's where activated. I do appreciate it alot more now, hints at the war which i guess will be explained alot more in the new Halo novels (Forerunner).
