Mat Burke Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I've been reading a lot on different discussions about who is the new enemy? and people keep giving their opinion on who it will be and what their motive is the biggest issue I have with their opinions is that they don't have all the facts They take the information they know from online and tell their opinion on something they have barely touched their feet into the halo universe is vast and has gone across many platforms from game to book to comic book to legos.....yes legos count having read almost every aspect of it and watch every video i can i have a very different opinion than most do !!!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!! in one of the books they talk about a dark enemy locked in a jail that was put there before even the forunners came into existence they said that anytime they came across this ancient civilizations structures even the forunners were unable to break destroy or alter anything bout them this enemy was release at some point in the book and he begins trying to escape one of the rings from what i gather they got him onto a shield world which was the Didact's world he built in secret in response to the halo's being built the artificial intelligence then has "custody" of him and although they have been able to keep him from escaping they have not been able to kill him or stop him so i feel he basically has taken over most of the computers in the shield world and has been fighting with the convenant who were sucked in there and the shield world even if its systems are compromised will not allow anyone to leave that is why you see a lot of things getting sucked into it often because it can't allow outside interference otherwise it could risk exposure to the outside universe this is just my thoughts on my information most of it is debatable but i do strongly believe the enemy is the Captive although the forunners couldn't break the mysterious prison that held the Captive the humans were able to find away basically we broke enough away where we could have a look inside and have a talk with "the captive" and only one person talked to him and they basically said yea shut the thing back up again we cannot let this thing out also lets bury it so no one can find it yea so thats my thoughts on the enemy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Read the next book :3 lol It's called Primordium :3 This is what a lot of us thought when it first came out, but Primordium clears a few things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaxx Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 What i believe you are talking a about is the prisoner that is the last of his kind..the Precursor. Which in turn you find out at the end fo the book is a Flood Gravemind. He was in custody of the AI 05-032 Mendicant Bias. He was tasked to bring this Gravemind out of hiding into the open to be destroyed, unfortunately for the Forerunners, the Gravemind can turn AI's rampant (it is unknown how they achieve this ability) and turned the AI against its creators. How I know this, this is what he said. "I am the last Precursor. And our is at hand." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely right, messed up on the quote a bit though lol However, Primordium completely debunks the theory that "The Timeless One" is in Halo 4. I don't want to spoil it though, so go read it! :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Burke Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I did read it I'm still saying it has something to do with him like maybe he transferred himself into an AI......they get creative in things like that and if not its at least the guys who put him in the prison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Halo 4 enemy (combat level) has been revealed to be Forerunner Promethean Automated Weaponry (or somesuch) as well as covenant. It hasn't been revealed who's pulling the strings of the Prometheans, so your theory still has a bit of a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to spoil it though, so go read it! :3 Darn it it, I was gonna tell him what happened to the Timeless One But it's been pretty much confirmed that it's a forerunner because the voice in he E3 demo says "I've long dreamt of this day, Reclaimer" and precursors didn't call humans reclaimers, forerunners did, and that was mostly likely the Didact, so he is probably the ancient evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Burke Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 no I do remember that What I'm saying it that the didact basically did a reverse life pod on the timeless one making millions of years pass by inside the chamber in a matter of seconds time could have gone by fast inside the pod but it could have gone slow.....then again it could be a librarians instalation that went wrong I'm not sure there's too many possibilities I know they said these new books were going to be tied into the new halo4 story but I'm not seeing how yet Darn it it, I was gonna tell him what happened to the Timeless One But it's been pretty much confirmed that it's a forerunner because the voice in he E3 demo says "I've long dreamt of this day, Reclaimer" and precursors didn't call humans reclaimers, forerunners did, and that was mostly likely the Didact, so he is probably the ancient evil Yea but the Didact had no issues with the humans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra1117 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 If you read this thread, it explains that the original Didact wasn't executed by Faber and how he could hate humanity If you read this topic, http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/12415-didact-wasnt-executed/#entry136002 , it explains how the Didact wasn't killed and how he could hate humans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I agree it could be the Didact but I think it could more likely be the Master Builder Only because no one actually witness him being killed and correct me if I'm wrong but he hated humans also they mention it at the end of Primordium that he was figured dead with installation 07 i believe?? not sure on that one but hes the more likely subject for blaming it on humans Indeed, to me this seems more likely than the Didact theory. I guess we'll just have to wait for Halo 4 and the new Forerunner book to come out to see what's next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra1117 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well we now know the Didact's alive and it looks like there's a bigger chance of him being the ancient enemy because it's his symbol we've been seeing everywhere. I agree that it could be the master builder, but the full summary said that Judiricals are investigating the crimes of Faber, and the novel is focusing on the Didacts and Librarian so I don't think it would go to great lengths of putting Faber in Requiem just so he can be in Halo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see how anyone could say "no" if his symbol is shown right when it says "an ancient evil awakens" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wait what?! did i miss something? How is the Precursor a Gravemind? I thought the Precursors created the flood as a test, and that graveminds were formed when the flood reached a certain density, so how is the Precursor a Gravemind?
