Phoenix Logs/Campaign Logs/An Uncomfortable Truth II


 * From records I have studied, as the Flood grows closer to the critical density it
 * absorbs the knowledge and intelligence of its hosts. As it grows in strength,
 * coordination and self-awareness, it forms Proto-Graveminds and then finally the
 * Gravemind itself . Once a Gravemind has been created, the Flood's race memory
 * is re-established and it becomes almost unstoppable. This scenario is what led
 * to the creation of the last Halo Array so many years ago.


 * From the perspective of the Flood, is this not attempt at bringing order to
 * the galaxy rather than chaos? It is a dangerous line of thought, and I know
 * there was another who fell into this trap and indeed became instrumental in
 * the downfall of my creators civilization. Fortunately, my loyalty and duty to this
 * installation precludes me from following that path.


 * My conclusions are still disturbing. The Flood are indeed the great threat to the
 * galaxy my creators feared, but they are the truest to their nature. The
 * Forerunners, the San'Shyuum, the so-called Reclaimers all declare peace
 * through unity and civilization, yet endlessly make war amongst themselves and
 * others. Wars fought in defense of their own independence while each forcing
 * their own ideas of unity upon their enemies.


 * I stand here as a guardian of that chaos. It is an uncomfortable truth. [2/2]
