[OOC Board] - All the World's a Game

@ S121
I'll give you another hint.

1. the one pulling the strings is actually a human...

2. Oh, Isaac knows him... Isaac knows them very well...

3. Let's just say, Cortana won't be fighting HM, per say.

I think the only person who would be a skilled enough hacker would be Cortana.

After all the Nasod Arm evolves and grows stronger as it influences Raven more.

If you recall his appearance as the Reckless Fist his Nasod Arm, even with intense modifications had evolved to the point where it looked like a living being of Raven, and it even states that as the Reckless Fist Raven is close to losing all traces of his sanity.

I think it would be possible, but he would need someone like Cortana to hack his arm. Not only that but I think Nasod Technology is also a bit of magic behind it as well, so that might make it harder... I mean if the Nasod Arm's overcome Raven is due to magic then it might be a bit more difficult.

GlaDOS could probably do it. She'd probably be interested in the arm acientifically as well.

@Mima

I'm afraid of what GlaDOs would do with his arm o-O After all I'm sure she would also end up messing with Raven a bit.

Raven: "Don't pull that cord!" *GlaDOS ends up pulling a cord within Raven's Nasod Arm, causing him to punch himself in the face with his other arm.*

GlaDOS: "Did I do that?"

@NeoFox

Welcome back! :p




@Wonder

Unitologists? His dad? (He didn't know him very well...) The living embodiment of The Marker?



BTW, where's the area you were building at?





@SUSTIC and Mima

Then GLaDOS turns the arm into a weapon attachment for herself. :p

Nah, she wouldn't do something like that. She would probably scan it, do the hacking to help him and then, later, try to recreate it and put it on a robot.

@Mima

Then send the robot off to exterminate birds! XD

Ok, probably not. It would be overkill. :p

Put it on a robot, then transfer herself to the robot.

Just a wild guess...

@S121

The point is that if he did realize that she's actually dead and all that, and let's say this person killed a few of John's other friends too. And then there is the fact that the person may be urging for him to get angry. Giving John the chance to attack him several times. Another thing to think of is that it does not have to be that instant. If we completely rule out reviving, most people will sink into a state where they want to do something with it. When the person that did it may be walking by you every day and reminding you of how she died it can be quite overwhelming. Or is John really that type of person that just can't want revenge, no matter what?

Better yet what if Raven woke up with his arm missing? (Like in a blooper or something.)

Raven: *Wakes up after GlaDOS worked on his arm* "What happened?" *notices arm missing* "GLADOS!!!"

Director: "CUT!"

Build it anywhere with decent spacing; big enough to build a small town. You do remember the blueprint's location, right?

@Katrix

From what I gather, John is... odd, due to his indoctrination into the UNSC. He has been trained to sort of lose his sense of self, becoming only the sword and shield of the UNSC and Humanity. It might just cause him to mentally shut down and turn into a robot. John might want revenge on some level, but in the end, he would turn it into his duty to ensure that the person responsible is stopped.

Yes, he would most certainly try to kill the person responsible, but John would most likely be a hollow shell by that point, being driven only by his training.

It would sort of be like he would be programmed to kill the person, due to him having no emotions, sort of like when Cortana died. When she died, he simply dismissed her death as just another casualty to ensure Humanity's survival. It shook him to his core, but by that point, he was a hollow shell.

Think of John as a "Broken Hero". (TV Tropes)

"Halo 4: Dr Halsey's interrogator accuses Master Chief as this, as for all of his Badass abilities, he is considered an empty shell, and Cortana is the only thing that's keeping him from falling apart." -TV Tropes



In a way, it would do the opposite of sparking his hatred and giving him a thirst for revenge. If anything, it would most likely make him lose his will to live.









@Wonder

You never gave me the coordinates/blueprint's location.
