Spawn of the Precursors: The Emulators

[ForgeMonitor]

Legend has it that the Flood was no accident; in fact, it was incited by the Precursors, a race even more ancient than the Forerunners. The Forerunners believed in what they called the Mantle, the responsibility of the protection of all life in the universe. While some thought the Flood was a test to identify the Reclaimers of the Mantle, others believed the Flood were meant to unite all life; so began the Great Divide.

Millions of years later, the Flood was vanquished, dried up, but humanity's test  was far from over. In usurping the power of the Forerunners by incapacitating the Didact, Master Chief, the beacon of hope for humanity, assumed the responsibility of the Mantle. In order to prove his worthiness, the Precursors released a devious new race to test him: the Emulators. These fiendish creatures masquerade as foes humanity has faced in the past--the Insurrectionists, the Brutes, even the Flood. They pretend to be those with whom the Chief had come close to experiencing friendship--Sgt. Johnson, Cortana, and Cpt. Lasky, who may or may not have perished in the battle with the Storm Covenant on Sanghelios. The Master Chief must decide who is real and who is a treacherous projection. He asks himself again if he was the machine instead of Cortana.

 

Anyway, I hope you like my idea for a "new" alien. In this way we can see faces we have missed and extinct races, and it will build suspense as to the result of the battle on Sangehelios. Post your thoughts below.

Wow I thought I was actually reading the description from the back of a book. This is very well written and an interesting idea.

Only as a boss fight near the end. I would like a psychological boss that morphs into Johnson, only to pop your shields off and retreat, taunting chief about his inability to save his friends.

[ForgeMonitor]

@PlexVanguard Ditto. It would be for them to try to trick the Chief and lead him into their trap.

i a good plot point could be a fake jhonson saying  something along the lines of .. chief u let her go

becasse in halo 3 befor his death he said... chief never ever let her go . send me out with a bang  and in halo 4 chief let her go
