Mendicant Bias: Difference between revisions

Line 37:

The defection of Mendicant Bias utterly undid the Forerunners' [[Maginot Sphere]] defense plan and forced them to accelerate work on their [[Halos|doomsday weapons]]. In order to give them time to complete the Halos' work, the Forerunners created another AI, [[Offensive Bias]], to slow Mendicant Bias' advance. Offensive Bias lacked Mendicant's creativity and possibly his free will, but was more methodically lethal. His only purpose was to prevent Mendicant Bias from accessing the [[Ark]], and buying time to activate the [[Halo Array]].

It seems that Mendicant Bias was ~~gay and~~ unable to disable the [[Halo Array|Halos]] directly, perhaps not knowing their locations, and so the only chance he had to stop the coming cataclysm was to secure the Ark and stop the firing sequence from there. While he did not know the location of the Ark, he was aware of a method to reach it via the [[Portal]] and [[Key Ship]]s. The [[Forerunners]] subsequently destroyed or disabled most of the keyships to stall Mendicant's assault. However, Mendicant Bias managed to locate (or thought he had located) one of the remaining keyships that led to the final, titanic naval battle with Offensive Bias. Mendicant's fatal mistake was that he had come to hold the Forerunners in abject contempt—his rampancy clouded his perceptions, such that he failed to anticipate the possibility of facing another AI. Ultimately, Mendicant Bias was outsmarted and [[Terminals#Terminal_Six|defeated]] by Offensive Bias and the successful activation of the Halos.
