Battle of the Maginot Sphere: Difference between revisions

The battle was preceded by the [[Logic plague|subversion]] and [[rampancy]] of the [[Forerunner]] [[artificial intelligence]] [[Mendicant Bias]], who, after a protracted intelligent conversation with the Flood, had decided that the Flood were the next step of evolution for galactic life, and that the Forerunners were corrupt for resisting this inevitable evolution. For refusing to be supplanted by their biologically superior adversary, Mendicant declared its allegiance with the Flood and defamed the Forerunners, not only lending its tactical intelligence to the Flood by directing their fleets, but also gave the thousands of Forerunner-crewed vessels under its command to the Flood. However, its intelligence was tinged with madness, a blind fury for the Forerunners and for their obstinate tendencies, making its actions predictable and violent, and thus easily countered by the Forerunner's last great AI: [[Offensive Bias]], designed along the same lines as Mendicant, seemingly possessing less free will and creativity,<ref>'''Halo 3''', ''[[Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminal 7]]''</ref> but being exponentially more lethal.{{Ref/Reuse|terminal6}}
