Governors of Contrition: Difference between revisions

The beliefs of the Governors of Contrition may have been originally influenced by a [[Rampancy#Logic plague|Flood-corrupted]] [[Ancilla|Forerunner AI]] or records of communication with one, as their beliefs of the Flood as the perfect life-form correlate with the agenda preached by the [[Gravemind]], specifically when subverting AIs like [[05-032 Mendicant Bias|Mendicant Bias]].<ref>'''Halo 3''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 3|Terminal 3]]''</ref> While untrue in the strictest sense, their beliefs of the Flood being a Forerunner creation have some basis, as early Forerunners were indirectly responsible for the Flood in [[Forerunner-Precursor war|wiping out]] the [[Precursor]]s who transmuted themselves to molecular dust in order to survive. This dust deteriorated over millions of years and spawned the Flood when it came into contact with sentient life.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 13''</ref>
