Forum:Terminal 1 and Halo Primordium

So reading through the terminals, I noticed something about Mendicants description of his "charges." I know the terminals aren't the best sources for this kind of information but they could easily have been used to flesh out the storyline? We now know that Forerunners deal with most bodily function through their armor. We know Mendicant's Halo was used to transport the humans from the description of Primordium. Could he be describing the humans here? And is their sacrifice a willing one to learn a way to combat the flood? It would be interesting if they volunteered to be tested on, or if Fabr lied to Mendicant. Other ideas? ProphetofTruth 22:33, 9 August 2011 (EDT)

Despite this the morale of my charges remains high. They wake, clean themselves, fuel their bodies, communicate with one another, eliminate waste, train to destroy the enemy, and return to sleep. The sacrifices they have chosen to make on behalf of their [brethren] fills me with pride

I think that passage is talking about the Forerunner soldiers under Mendicant's care, but it would certainly be interesting (and probably plausible) if you're right SPARTAN-347 00:41, 14 August 2011 (EDT)
