Tangent on power...

In Response To: Re: What would this test test? (davidfuchs)

So I asked myself why anyone would want The Mantle in the first place. The Mantle is power. Power over all species in an effort to protect them. The Precursors say that The Mantle can only be given, not claimed.. Remember that old adage? Anyone who desires power does not deserve to have it? I paraphrase, but there's the rub. Only those who have no wish to rule truly deserve it. So I guess the better question is...why does the galaxy need a species to hold The Mantle at all?

But yea, essentially Cortana claiming The Mantle is blatantly pointing out, in-universe, that's she's 100% wrong about who it belongs to.
