Talk:The Archive

Hey, I didn't actually know how else to contact you, I hope this works.

Anyway, I saw some of your stuff on the Archive. I had some ideas and wanted to see what you thought.

First, is the Archive like the main "library" or something that holds the all the samples of species or whatexer that the Forrunner were trying to index?

Anyway, I created a new Gravemind before I saw this, but it looks like it would fit in very well with your story. It is a "Dualmind" that tried to break into the forrunner's "main library" (I couldn't think of the name Archives for some reason) but was counterattacked by several Forrunner AIs, splitting it into two consciousnesses, the Hordemind (militatistic, intelligent) and the Hoardmind (childlike, flood equivalent of rampant). I said they survived the firing by staying on the archive-thingy in hybernation, then left by hijacking a craft redistributing species to their planets afterward.

You didn't explain who controlled the flood on the installation, and I didn't do a good job of stating why the sentinels didn't find and destroy my flood on the library. We could combine it, which could help flesh out your story and introduce my flood character. Just go to the links, see if you like it.
