Work-In-Progress (Halo: Reach) / AI Theory Search
« on: October 20, 2010, 02:52:07 »
My theory has shown up in a couple of threads, but I realize that it would be good to move my efforts here.
The original theory is:
http://reachtheory.blogspot.com/
What I'll do with this topic, though, is go through everything having to do with Reach (materials, Halsey's journal, levels, radio chatter), and speculate how it might relate to my theory. This way literally all the evidence will be in one place. Additionally, as new discoveries are made - for instance if the shotcode is decyphered and has some crazy implication - it might tie in directly with the evidence I present here.
Please add things you find, duplicate info is okay.
If you don't want to read my whole theory, let me present it here in a few words. I've also changed my mind about how 'deep' this theory probably goes.
Basically, I think that the human AIs that have conspired to manage humanity, have coordinated with the Covenant somehow, or that the Covenant are somehow aware of this AI conspiracy. Maybe it's as simple as Mendicant Bias knows about the human AIs, and they know about Mendicant Bias, and the whole war is just a scramble for information.
Still, I suspect that there was a betrayal somewhere in the big picture.
So: look for clues that ONI and the Covenant know more about each other and the Forerunner than we are openly led to believe. Also, look for clues that someone within the human command chain is a traitor. These could be clues like weird Superintendant like effects that don't make sense in levels. Like doors that should have been closed, but were open, or anything like that 'in the background'.
I'll go through EVERYTHING before I'm done... you'll see.
