Halo Legends

[n00b1n8R]

Yeah, I thought Halo killed life, not actually destroy the flood.

Master Chief: The Flood is spreading. If we activate Halo's defenses we can
wipe them out.

Cortana: You have no idea how this ring works, do you? Why the Forerunners
built it? Halo doesn't kill Flood - it kills their food. Humans, Covenant,
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?
