How vulnerable would the Forerunners be to time travel shenanigans? Also, does the Precursors ability to manipulate technology only extend to technology based off of the Domain or is a case of anything that uses circuitry being børkëd?

  • [quote]How vulnerable would the Forerunners be to time travel shenanigans?[/quote]More vulnerable than the Covenant and UNSC. Slipspace travel in itself is technically time travel. IE: Two ships who travel to the same destination from the same starting location may arrive at the exact same time, but they can measure different amounts of time in slipspace. One ship could measure an hour travel time, while the other measures a 2 hour travel time. Yet they both arrive at the exact same time in space-time. The inverse is true too. Bothe ships can arrive at said destination at different times, but can record the exact same travel time in slipspace.

They'd need to devise an external method to take control of technology that is not their own. That is to say, it'd be incredibly easy for them. This is evident by the logic plague.

  • Thank you for imparting the knowledge. Ever since Primordium, I have lost a lot of interest in Halo and am behind on new lore.

  • You're lucky we're only getting the MCC this year. You've got quite a few months to catch up before we go once more unto the breach.

  • I still have 15 Horus Heresy Books to catch up on, a half dozen audio dramas, and a crap ton of short stories. With the way the story is going, I am probably going to need to keep up with all of them, because [i]holy shit[/i] are they getting oddly interconnected. If you didn't get one of the audio drama spinoffs, you would never know a main character than seemingly died actually survived which is important because he returns in book 29. And then you have the Cabal and Alpha Legion plot, which seems intent on getting everywhere. Then I have ASOIAF, Discworld, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, and Batman Eternal eating up my entire comic budget. I'm swamped with stuff. :(
