"Well, that makes sense."
William nodded in agreement.
Ancient Humans in <Halo> is very advanced in biotechnology.
In Halo 4, which William has played through several times, Chief Librarian once mentioned this aspect and even upgraded it to Master Chief.
If 'gods' like Hades and Athena are actually the descendants of Ancient Humans who have escaped technological degradation and halo annihilation, then it can indeed explain various 'abnormal' phenomena.
"That's why I said that any supernatural events labeled as 'abnormal phenomena' are actually completely incomprehensible with our current technology and knowledge.
Once our level reaches a certain level, any supernatural event can be explained naturally.
Just like the pioneer race...
It cannot be said that it is the entire universe, at least the civilizations and creatures in the entire Milky Way Galaxy are very naive existences in the eyes of the pioneers."
Halsey, who was standing on the left hand side of William, crossed her arms in front of her chest and expressed her guess.
"Yeah." William still agreed, and then asked:
"So... if a Flood appears, how should we prevent it?"
"Well..." Halsey frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head to face William and said:
"From what you said, the Flood is indeed an extremely difficult species to deal with.
However, with the current Individual Equipment of the UNSC and our troops, its airtightness is enough to filter out Flood spores, at least reducing the chance of infection during combat.
Also, the ancient virus released by General Rebels was very likely related to the Flood.
It seems that we need 'Doctor (049)' to come and help..."
Halsey said, and suggested to William: "William, I think Xenos can effectively resist the erosion, assimilation and infection of the Flood.
After all, the blood of Xenos is Corrosive Acid, so the possibility of infecting Xenos with spores is extremely low.
Therefore, I suggest that you notify Pluto Research Institute now and let the doctor lead the team that researches and manufactures Xenos, as well as samples of the ancient virus, to come to Bountiful Star.
In this case, even if the Flood still exists in the universe, we are not unprepared to deal with it.
What do you think, boss?"
"Well..."
Hearing this, William nodded again, then opened the communication system on the central control screen and contacted Serena.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Soon, a video call of the bust of Serena appeared.
"Yes, I need you to notify Pluto..."
Then William conveyed Halsey's suggestion to Serena in the form of an order.
And William also asked Mike to lead First Fleet to carry 049 on Pluto, as well as the team and related equipment that manufactured and researched Xenos, and immediately went to Bountiful Star to rendezvous.
After conveying the command, William facilitated Serena to cut off the communication.
Immediately afterwards.
William asked Halsey again, "Catherine, if I ask you to help me translate the language of the Star Alliance, you should be able to do it."
"No problem." Halsey said without thinking:
"Assuming that the writing and language used by the Covenant are inherited from the ancient forerunners...
Then we have all the text data of Göbeklitepe, and I can use our two cabin computers to write a program specifically designed to translate each other's text.
As for the tone, pronunciation, intonation, etc., I cannot guarantee it. I can only make guesses based on the dialogue captured in Blood Raven Squad's combat video.
Therefore, the intention that the other party wants to express may be somewhat different from my translation. The accuracy is conservatively estimated to be around 70."
"Seventy is enough." William also crossed his arms and hugged his chest, looking at several holographic videos on the central control screen, and said:
"So how long will it take you to compile this program?"
"A few days." Halsey shrugged and said, "After all, I still have to breastfeed Arthur and coax him to sleep, so it will take some time."
"It's okay." William nodded lightly.
"Haha." At this time, Halsey chuckled, looked at the battle video that William was paying attention to, and said:
"William, you want to talk to those Sangheili people and instigate them to rebel, right?"
?
William was stunned.
But he soon shook his head helplessly and said with a sigh, "Hey, it seems I can't hide anything from you.
Yes, according to my understanding, Sangheili... can also be called the elites. The elites seem to have conflicts with the leadership of the Star Alliance, that is, the race of prophets.
However, this conflict seems to have been resolved, and the elite race is now still responsible for the prophet's guard work.
Then, you also saw..."
William said, then stretched out the index finger of his left hand and pointed at a holographic video.
And the content of that video is exactly Blood Ravens holding Energy Sword, fighting against an elite in bright red armor.
However, due to the secret attack of the Jiralhanae, the duel between the two sides was interrupted.
Moreover, the elite in bright red armor led many blue-helmeted elites to massacre those Jiralhanae beasts that were disrupting the situation and were on the same front.
Seeing the video William pointed to, Halsey continued what he said, "Well, I discovered it too.
The elites you mentioned, and the ape-like Jiralhanae, there seem to be deep conflicts between them, and there may even be internal fighting."
"Yes." William continued to explain:
"Jiralhanae are a relatively late race that joined the Covenant, and their personalities and appearance match very well.
A species that likes to solve everything with brute force, is rude, impatient, and has a sky-high ambition.
They believe that their own strength is stronger than the elites, but the status of the elites in the Star Alliance is second only to the Prophets, and they have always been weighing on them, which makes them feel deeply angry and humiliated.
Although the elites also advocate force, they are not as violent as the Jiralhanae, even though the tempers of both species are not very good.
To speak metaphorically...
Jiralhanae are like the robbers and hooligans of ancient China, while the elite are more like knights with their own pursuits.
This is also the reason why, when the elites see the Blood Crows showing their super high combat power, they can't help but want to challenge them to a duel."
"Hum..." After hearing William's explanation, Halsey groaned:
"Then I guess, the supreme leader of the Star Alliance is the Prophet, but it is also a political system with a parliament.
Among them, the power of the elite race in the parliament cannot be underestimated, and the elites are also the commanding class in the army.
But the elites also have obvious flaws in their character, that is, they are very straight, and because of their bad tempers, they definitely do not have very good relations with other races.
And as the leader of the prophet race, they would naturally be very afraid of the elites. However, the elites were so powerful that they did not take any effective measures.
But you just said that the Jiralhanae joined the Covenant late, and the Jiralhanae and the elites have conflicts that are difficult to reconcile...
Then it is very likely that the Prophet will use this to completely suppress the power and arrogance of the elite in the Star Alliance, right?"
