Master Chief was infected by the Gravemind
So far there has been no reasonable theory on how Cortana is communicating with you in Halo 3. I think I have a new theory that might spark some debate and some interest.
Ok we see that when MC encounters the Gravemind for the first time, he was uncounsious. It could be possible that the Gravemind slipped some Flood Spores into the Chief. The Gravemind probably knew how dangerous the Chief would be, so this would eventually turn him into a Flood.
How is this relevant to my theory?
On The Covenant, we see that Truth is being infected by the Flood.As he is, the Gravemind communicates through Truth.
This shows that the Gravemind, or the Flood for that matter, have some sort of telepathic ability.
So, when Cortana was being "hacked" into by the Gravemind, he/she communicated to him through this telepathic ability.
Now of course, how come MC hasn't fully turned Flood?
Remember that Johnson, who is a S-I, is immune to the Flood.
While augmentations are different between S-Is, and S-IIs, it could be possible it still had a similar effect of Flood immunity. Remember that even though Johnson is immune to the Flood, he now (or did) have some regenerative abilities because of the Flood particles in him.
MC could have a similar effect, but with the communications instead.
Gonna tally how many people clearly didn't read this OP.

No. Simply no.

The things Cortana says are almost entirely past quotes. At least, that's what I remember.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Phoenix 418 No Boren's syndrome was the cover for Johnson's immunity to the flood. Its where lengthy exposure to plasma screws your spinal nerves-which is what the flood relies on to infect things. However Johnson never had this, it was his augmentations that make him immune.[/quote] Actually I think Johnson actually did have Boren's syndrome. All of the SIs had negative side affects to their augmentations that manifested as various neural problems or just other problems with their bodies. I think the coverup would have been [i]how[/i] Johnson got his Boren's syndrome rather than using it to cover up his SI augmentations. @Grey Are you sure that was retconned? I've read Breaking Quarantine, and it didn't seem like Johnson's immunity to the Flood was retconned at all :/ It looked to me like it just showed exactly [i]how[/i] he managed to escape from the Flood, even immunity to infection won't guarantee your escape alive.
-
I'm pretty sure the Halo games would have made it very obvious if MC was infected. Kind of moderately important. I don't know, maybe.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ImmortalJoshua This doesn't explain how Cortana could communicate through Chief over hundreds of thousands of lightyears unless there was a constant slipspace portal open somewhere.[/quote]Are you talking about the flashbacks? Those weren't communications, just flashbacks.

to grey 101 i did a play through of halo CE yesterday for nostalgia's sake and though i know your refrencing the book. Halo:the flood that doesn't actually happen in the game and i belive the games cannon/events override those of the books/comics/anime's etc? and were abouts in halo 2 does it clarify that no one's immune to the flood?. off topic do you play on 360/pc?

And he was banned. Again. He must know he will not get anywhere fast here. He should just stay in the gallery and community.
-
Even though his post is gone, all I have to do is see the title to bang my head against the desk. If he is going for a bigger member title, he does know getting banned resets it right?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] sameron to grey101 ok this might make me unpopular but hey. do people take your word or understanding of lore as the "law"?? true there is more then one way to become infected by the flood 1)spores 2)gravemind 3)carriers (mayebe another)? but yes SGT johnson was immune to the pods and seemingly the spore's seeing as he was trapped down in halo 04's flood research centre for a fair amount of time. and seeing as its his augumentations from the ORION PRJKT/SPRT-1 then it's more then safe to assume MC and the other spartan II's are also immune to these form's of flood infection. and MC's MK-5 armour is capable of "SCRUBBING" the air he breathes so as to not allow any spores in so why would the MK-VI be downgraded in this respect? not hating on you just wonderded as to were you heard/read this?[/quote] because they know i don't say anything unless i can back it up or state otherwise, plus i've been here for years. I gave the requirements for being infected i never said there were no other ways to get infected. johnson being immune was corrected around halo 2 era so the people that keep bring it up are that outdated. no human is immune to the flood, nothing other than the lekgolo are. In "the flood" MC was swarmed by infection forms going after the weak spots in his armor and one actually got into his armor but cortana shocked him thus saving him. chief was terrified that he almost got infected and started being more serous after that. Read the books and get updated people.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] grey101 reven can i get a dialogue link? that is interesting. And to Joshua brother, spartans can get infected i like the kindergarten logic of " we haven't seen it therefore it can not happen.[/quote] Yea: [url]http://www.halopedian.com/Sierra_117[/url] I don't think i heared that in Halo 3,probably cause those marines can't catch my speed up.

Interesting how discussions turn into hate fests...

You know what the say: " Even a broken clock is right twice a day." Eventually Joshua is bound to get something right if he keeps going... Or maybe not.

I don't want to be mean but are you mental? In all honesty, who can be this stupid? If you are going to be on the Bungie forums, go to another section please, thank you.

To everyone-you can be infected through different means than just infection forms. A list off the top of my head- Infection form(duh) Flood spore(some random canon thing where elites are on a ship, one breathes in too many spores and turn into a combat form, then slices off his partner's mouth tentacle thing-his partner was the shipmaster elite from Halo 3.) Or you could be absorbed by a big fat one(Halo: Legends[film] Origins II. A forerunner gets eated.)
