In Response To: mrbananas last theory part 2 (continued) (mrbananas)


Wow, that's one HELL of a theory, beautifully constructed and very well thought out. I especially like you putting Guilty Spark's statements in context.

As to humanity=forerunner and humanity!=forerunner...I believe the first time we learn of the Forerunner is in AotCR, where Cortana refers to them as 'forerunners'. As you've pointed out, Cortana isn't exactly correct about what Halo does, so how correct is she when she refers to 'forerunners'? Forerunner would do as a collective noun for a large union of species, not unlike the covenant. But 'forerunners'...forerunners to all the different species in the galaxy, humanity and covenant included?

There's one more tidbit from GoO that I recall somewhere. Halsey describes 'reclaimer' as an honorific. I suppose that meshes with the idea that only selected forerunner/ human beings would be selected to continue on in Onyx or the Ark, to reseed the galaxy.

Perhaps the most unusual thing of all is the human/reclaimer ability to instinctively understand forerunner technology and script. Perhaps humanity was being eradicated by the Prophets because of the danger they posed, being Reclaimers? And since no race would want to die out, and since the Forerunner faded away in Staten's own words, is it possible that the Forerunner hid a part of themselves inside human beings, and that genetically pure reclaimers are resurfacing now? I think that humans somehow got a special favor from the Forerunner, and the Prophets hate that.

I don't agree with the idea that the Forerunner didn't want the covenant to form, because of the very simple reason that the Covenant are the only military force in the galaxy with the power and the technology to have any level of success over the flood menace, and if things went wrong on humanity's side, I would certainly want the covenant to stand guard against the flood.
