Talk:Relic Approach

"What if the Infection Defiles the Relic?"
The zealot may have been referring to the possibility of Flood being inside the Relic and escaping from it if it was opened. It's possible he could have been using "defiles" as another way of saying "is currently defiling" instead of "attempts to defile."

This hypothesis is backed by the fact that the Arbiter says "I care not for your little life, open the relic." This statement suggests that the zealot's life would be in more danger if the Relic was opened, while the threat of humanity attacking the Covenant forces and investigating the Relic would be the same regardless of whether it was opened or not.

This is a matter of opinion, so I suggest that we remove the link from the word "infection" that leads to the humanity article and leave it at that. 86.139.130.143 18:27, April 21, 2015 (UTC)
