    5:06 This is actually something that military personnel are taught to do if captured by the enemy and interrogated. They are told to reveal nothing to their interrogators - and presumably torturers, but their name, rank and service number. In a way, Keyes was compromised by the Flood and was subjected to what was effectively a Flood interrogation technique. Keyes was remembering his training. It was the only way to fight the Flood he had left.

    5:05 the reason Keyes was repeating his name, rank, and serial number was because it’s based off of a U.S. military rule. If captured by an enemy, you are only to tell them your name, rank, and serial number. No more no less. The gravemind was not mad at him for saying his name, it was mad because he wasn't providing any more info, prompting the Gravemind to have dig deeper.

      Anyway, the Precursors didn't do it out of spite. They transmuted themselves into a living dust in order to survive, but too many years and genetic abnormalities (kind of like cancer, I imagine) led to that dust becoming the first Flood particles. The only one who I think had any kind of malice was the Primordial, who for all we know might be simultaneously the last Precursor and the oldest surviving Gravemind/Keymind.

    I remember reading the book on Halo CE, The Flood. It actually describes how Keyes had his mind and memories ripped apart as he resisted giving up the location of Earth. It was pretty messed up. Especially in the end when the Gravemind decides its had enough and decides to just fully absorb him into itself and his reaction to feeling his consciousness be assimilated into the Flood. It's such a undeserving end to a good man.

    Keyes is mostly only able to see the Truth and Reconciliation, and therefore for about a quarter of the terminal believed he was being interrogated by the Covenant until he started looking more and saw the flood infection forms running around and was reminded of those things and yelled out *"YOU DON'T WANT EARTH! YOU WANT EVERYTHING!"* and he realized he needed to attempt to hide the location of Earth, unfortunately giving away the location of the Pillar Of Autumn's crash site giving Master Chief a harder time fighting in The Maw.

  • @DevengerKott
    @DevengerKott Před 4 lety +26

    I've always been suspicious about Keyes "death" in the franchise. If neural physics is truly a concept in the game, the essence of Keyes was already absorbed by proto-gravemind by the time the Master Chief arrived on board ship, so maybe he wasn't really dead. It makes me revisit some of the interactions that we see from the new Gravemind as the franchise progressed. Think about it: how fixated the Gravemind was on Master Chief, the odd "rescue/recruitment" it had with him in Halo 2, the way it seemed to have an oddly personal connection with Cortana enough to torture her while trying to get the index, how in Halo 3 when they were all working to stop Truth and Miranda Keyes was killed, the Gravemind only attacked once her body was safely taken into the pelican by Johnson, how Johnson was literally allowed to leave the safely on the pelican with her...very suspicious. I wonder if, having absorbed Captain Keyes, the proto-gravemind was still able to transfer his consciousness into the Flood Gravemind memories and that overall influence was present in the actual Gravemind for the remainder of the series. Kind of interesting to think about eh?
