Battle of the Maginot Sphere: Difference between revisions

The battle was preceded by the [[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 and for refusing to be supplanted by their biologically superior adversary. Mendicant declared his allegiance with the Flood and defamed the Forerunners, and not only lent his tactical intelligence to the Flood, directing their fleets, but also gave the thousands of Forerunner-crewed vessels under his command to the Flood. However, his intelligence was tinged with madness, against blind fury for the Forerunners for their obstinate tendencies, making his actions predictable and thus easily countered.
