Reclaimer 240 - Pure

The Reclaimer still down on a knee, battle rifle pointed at the storage tank.

RECLAIMER

So what? All the more reason to destroy this monstrosity.

INDIGENOUS ADJUVANT

That... would not be a good idea.

RECLAIMER

Why the hell not? You're still evading.

Overhead view of the storage chamber.

INDIGENOUS ADJUVANT

This pure form is dormant...

INDIGENOUS ADJUVANT

...but a part of its mind, such as it is, still belongs to Ferial.

A sepia-toned image of a Flood pure form.

INDIGENOUS ADJUVANT

Somehow, Ferial has managed to maintain a link between his current trifecta and this pure form.

Another view of a Flood form, possibly a mutated variation of Ferial's pure form.

INDIGENOUS ADJUVANT

We believe it may be a by-product of the Flood infection.

Returning to the Reclaimer focused on the storage tank.

RECLAIMER

So why would he hang onto this form then?

INDIGENOUS ADJUVANT

Despite his vile and evil nature, Ferial harbors a certain sentimentality toward his original Precursor form.

Side view of the Reclaimer.

INDIGENOUS ADJUVANT

And there are certain technologies that are only accessible to Precursor physiology.

RECLAIMER

He hopes to repair his body.

INDIGENOUS ADJUVANT

He does, indeed.

    Ok, I’m a little confused. Last comic someone brought up the point that this flood in storage was a Pure Form, so it does not take a host (Ferial) since it is formed directly from the Gravemind. This comic confirms that this is in fact a Pure Form, so how can it be a Pure Form but still have infected Ferial?

      A) This is an alternate Haloverse (always has been), and B) there's an exception to every rule. Stay tuned for further details.

            jim is godly, that's why ^^

            maybe pure forms were based off of infested precursors, but when ferial was infested, he basically kept a part of himself in the purecursor (yes, i did) to see if he can regain control someday

    well i did say there was a good part of his mind. well sentimental might not be "good" as such, and it would seem that the cavalcada still dont like him though. are they going to hold this body hostage??

      If it's good, then it's for entirely selfish reasons. There's nothing redeemable about Ferial, as you will see.

        So keeping the body is not because that's his good side? :p

        Oh well, at least that have something to blackmail Ferial with at some stage.

    Not sure if this was intentional, but I noticed the last panel of this comic and the last panel of the last comic are almost the same, though one is larger than the other, and thus shows more of the picture.

    Just an artistic observation.

    I'm gonna guess that we won't know what they plan to do with that thing until like 5 comics from now, atleast 5 comics form now.

    Anyway, I liked frames 3 and 4. Is that the chief getting infected in the 4th panel, or a marine?

    ...What the fudge? There's a happy face in the bottom left corner of the web page… lol.

      Well, there are no marines in that level, but if you look at the visible leg it looks a lot like the arbiter's.

        "just an infected Elite" Then how do you explain the runes on it, That's definetly the Arbiter's leg, even if he doesn't get infected he can get killed by an infection form.

        Oh, but you're not. He is spinning a web of lies and trickery that make you think you understand his lies and trickery, but said lies and trickery is being committed in another way that we do not recognise as lies and trickery.

          And that web of lies and trickery is in itself just another lie in a much larger web of lies and trickery, spaning all of what we think we know about Jim, Reclaimer, Ferial, the Cavalcade, and all of the supporting cast.
          Yes Jim, if that is your real name, we will figure out the plot of RC yet!

    Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Since Ferial created the flood, like the Sangheli race, there's probably some of him in the flood. As to my ending idea, I'm thinking that Ferial will try to cure the flood from his own body, and in doing so, Reclaimer steals this cure and gives it to the UNSC.
