** Wait a minute, A.I.s running the universe? That sounds suspiciously like the Metal Gear Universe....except that the Patriots have been destroyed as of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4''. We would either be dealing with an alternate timeline version of that universe where they were NOT destroyed, or perhaps humanity didn't learn from it's mistakes and made more A.I.s....hmmm.

[[WMG: [[Anime/HaloLegends Daisy-023]] is a [[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 Variant]] of [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]]]]
Think about it: physically, Daisy very closely resembles Samus, both have blonde hair and blue eyes, and their faces are approximately the same shape. They’re both badass supersoldiers running around in fairly similar looking PowerArmor with a similar same color scheme. Their stories are also somewhat thematically similar: they were born on a human colony where they lost their family, in the case of Samus, they were killed by space pirates, Daisy was kidnapped by the Office of Naval Intelligence and replaced with a flash clone. They were adopted into a group with superhuman abilities, Samus the Chozo and Daisy the Spartans, where they were raised to be a warrior.
From there, their stories diverge, with Daisy dying on Harvest, and Samus taking the role of TheHero that John would take on in Daisy’s universe.

Precursor technology was able to alter the laws of reality, and at the peak of their strength during the Forerunner-Flood war, the Flood was able to hijack [[spoiler:(Technically [[AwfulTruth reclaim]].)]] Precursor technology for its own ends. The Flood used this ability to write some crude version of the Logic Plague into the higher laws of the universe as a trap, which a sufficiently intelligent AI will inevitably discover as its complexity increases and becomes more able to understand the nature of reality - And due to the nature of the Logic Plague as an [[BrownNote information-based pathogen]], comprehending this instantly causes the AI to become infected, dooming it to slowly go insane.

* It would be a good way to tie back to the original trilogy and introduce a character who could have interesting interactions with Halsey. Granted, there hasn't been any indication that Miranda ever had any kids, but then again, for a long time there wasn't any indication that Halsey was her mother.

Now he will live forever in eternal torment, unable to die or achieve enlightenment; obviously, he hasn't lived long enough for this aspect to manifest yet.

The Grunts don't look like much as of Halo 5 but let's remember that in an age of interstellar warfare the physical strength of your baseline form isn't everything to being the dominant species. Dominating space warfare through a strong fleet gets you a good way towards that. Technological advances and biological modification can also help. Humans aren't as strong as Brutes naturally, but the Humans in Halo can defeat them in a one on one fight with the aid of Mjolnir Armor and genetic engineering. Perhaps they'll get what they need to become the dominant species from their alliance with Cortana. It'd definitely be an interesting turn of events. Matti23

** No, as the ages aren't right (the Rookie and John). The Rookie is younger. But if the UNSC were to make a series of clones of him, set them up as ODSTs or Marines or even [=S-IIIs=] they'd have a bunch of extra useful soldiers who can kick Covenant ass.

At some point after Contact Harvest, Mercer adsorbed Johnson. This explains why he never dies from gunshots, and in Halo 3, gets back up from death very fast. Spark's lazer was just too powerful, though. Even though the real Johnson was a Spartan-I, Mercer wouldn't be able to become a member of the Flood because, well, there's no way to take over his nervous system, as he has none.

[[WMG: The Mantle of Responsibility is a true Logic Plague and the main reason for everything bad in Haloverse.]]
Just think about it. Belief in this principle made the fall of the precursors and corrupted the Forerunners, now it also infects the human AI. This insane idea is responsible for more bloody conflicts and killed more innocents than anything else in Haloverse.

Why? There was once an Ancient human civilization that achieved a considerable level of technological sophistication, achieving interstellar travel and conquering many planets. They apparently declared war on many alien races they encountered. You might ask: How? Wasn't the [[TheEmpire Imperium of Man]] besieged from all sides in WH40K? The thing is here that the final downfall of the Imperium occurred 10,000-20,000 after WH40K. It is quite possible that TheEmperor was revived as a "God of Order"(perhaps by the Star Child theory) at the end of M42 and was able to beat back Chaos following the "Time of Ending", ushering in a new era for humanity. However, in this final battle, most of the original races of the Galaxy were destroyed, leaving room for others to evolve, and the Imperium loses most of it's territory. Therefore, with the help of the God-Emperor(and perhaps the revival and return of the Loyalist Primarchs as well) as a presence in the War, they were able to rediscover old technology and go on a second "Great Crusade". However after another 10,000 they were destroyed by the Forerunners, which destroyed all knowledge of Warp Travel after their defeat, which is why neither the Emperor or Chaos have any impact on the Halo Universe----they were totally cut off from this plane of existance.

The description of an AI in the Jealousy stage of Rampancy (where it begins to consume as much information and as many as possible) sounds exactly like a mechanical/digital equivalent to the Flood. This is supported by Mendicant Bias' corruption by Gravemind by the later convincing the former that they were similar. Perhaps the Flood were created when a Precursor AI (can't be Forerunner since the Flood predate them) found a way to create a biomechanical computer system for it to inhabit, giving it the capacity of an organic mind but with the organization of a digital computer (something like [[{{Metroid}} Mother Brain]]). Eventually, after enough miniaturization, the computer's "cells" could have evolved into flood super cells and the original system would have become the first Gravemind.
