Be undead

The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

the Hushed Casket

Unseal the hushed casket of my soul...

possible storyline spoiler

I did a search for possible links between the Halo storyline and scripture on the Flood and came across something very interesting.

http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/apocjn.html

"And he (the chief archon) repented for everything which had come into being through him. This time he planned to bring a flood upon the work of man. But the greatness of the light of the foreknowledge informed Noah, and he proclaimed (it) to all the offspring which are the sons of men. But those who were strangers to him did not listen to him. It is not as Moses said, 'They hid themselves in an ark' (Gn 7: 7), but they hid themselves in a place, not only Noah, but also many other people from the immovable race. They went into a place and hid themselves in a luminous cloud. And he (Noah) recognized his authority, and she who belongs to the light was with him, having shone on them because he (the chief archon) had brought darkness upon the whole earth.

If you keep reading the rest of the text, it goes on to talk about "angels" breading with man, and the lost knowledge.

This could be where the guys at Bungie got some of they're ideas for the storyline.

It would also explain why we're called "Reclaimers" and not Forerunners. We have their genetic code within us but aren't full blooded Forerunners, explaining the "guiding hand" that UFO sites like SOTA always talk about.

Just some food for thought.
