One reader felt the need to respond to a previous post, discussing the release of the Flood. He points specifically to this exchange between the MC and Cortana:

CORTANA:

This ring isn't a cudgel, you barbarian, it's something else... something much more important. The Covenant were right... this ring... it's Forerunner. Give me a second to access... yes, the Forerunner built this place, what they called a, "fortress world," in order to... no, that can't be. Oh, those Covenant fools...they must've known, there must have been signs!

MASTER CHIEF:

Slow down. You're losin' me.

CORTANA:

The Covenant found something, buried in this ring, something horrible, and now...they're afraid.

As you can see from this little snippet of the conversation in "Two betrayals," it was "those Covenant fools" that have "been persistant in accessing restricted areas." Before you say that Cortana does not specifically say that the Covenant released the Flood think about this, what else could she have been referring to?

What indeed? ;-)
