As [[Cortana]] watches over [[John-117]], currently in cryo hibernation, she begins to experience the effects of rampancy, unable to key together who she is with the massive input of information in her databanks. She then begins recounting the history of the galaxy. | |||
Over 100,000 years ago, there was once a great civilization called the [[Forerunner]]s. However, their empire was invaded by a parasite called the [[Flood]]. Initially, the Forerunners treated the Flood as an infestation, until it was too late. The more Forerunners assimilated by the Flood, the more intelligent the Flood became. Soon, open war was on the rise. The Forerunners were confident that their valor and technology would stop the Flood. Unfortunately, the parasite had spread too far across their empire. On the verge of defeat, the Forerunners made one last ditch attempt to eradicate the Flood from the galaxy. They constructed the [[seven]] [[Halo Array|Halo rings]] and used [[Installation 00|The Ark]] to send the rings to different parts in the galaxy. The seven rings would destroy all sentient life and Flood biomass. Once the rings were in place, the effects of the rings cleansed the galaxy of all sentient life, including Flood, in an instant. | Over 100,000 years ago, there was once a great civilization called the [[Forerunner]]s.

With their enemy defeated, the Forerunners then began to repopulate the galaxy with various alien lifeforms that had been indexed, storing DNA samples, embryos and live specimens. These lifeforms were then returned to their home planets. | With their enemy defeated, the Forerunners then began to repopulate the galaxy with various alien lifeforms that had been indexed, storing DNA samples, embryos and live specimens.

The humans, still fresh from their encounter with the Forerunners, continue on with their civilizations. Inevitably though, much to Cortana's dismay, they fight amongst themselves. Various moments in Humanity's history, such as the invention of penicillin, the invention of dynamite, the bombing of Hiroshima, and the launches of ''Sputnik'' and the ''International Space Station'' are shown briefly. | The humans, still fresh from their encounter with the Forerunners, continue on with their civilizations.

*''Origins'' | *''Origins'' the first official visual depiction of the [[Forerunner]]s, though they are seen wearing [[combat skin]]s and their true features are not shown. According to [[Frank O'Connor]] in the audio commentary for the episode, all of the visual elements of ''Origins'' are formed from Cortana's concepts of the described events, thus rendering the depiction of the Forerunners ambiguous, especially since the episode clearly shows Cortana to be either [[rampant]] or borderline-rampant. Despite this, Forerunners bearing the same design were later shown in the [[Terminal/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|terminals]] from [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]. | ||
**''Origins'' is also the first official work to depict life on the home planets of the [[Unggoy]], [[Jiralhanae]], and [[Kig-Yar]]. | **''Origins'' is also the first official work to depict life on the home planets of the [[Unggoy]], [[Jiralhanae]], and [[Kig-Yar]]. | ||
*Some of the Forerunner structures seen in ''Origins'' are based on concepts cut from the ''Halo'' games. At one point in Part 1, during the section showing the Flood being wiped out by the Halo effect, a large mass of Flood is shown attached to the top of the unused tiered structure design for [[New Mombasa]] first shown in the [[Halo 2 E3 Demo]]. In addition, a version of "[[the Lost City]]", a level cut from ''Halo 3'', is featured in Part 1. | |||
