Re: The Forerunners shouldn't have lost the war.

In Response To: Re: The Forerunners shouldn't have lost the war. (Honestly)


: I'm asking you to prove that they lacked that capability.

: I'm asking you to provide evidence they were and it failed.

: Not the entire galaxy, but probably most of it. All I've got to go on is that
: they were the most technologically advanced civilization in the galaxy at
: that time. Could you provide some proof they DIDN'T have widespread
: control?

I don't think this is necessarily the case. Here's two lines from Terminal 1:

"Categorization has sped since the improvements were announced, but there are many hurdles. The indexing of sentient species may have irreversible effects on the surviving non-sentient species. We will have extinction events and irreparable environmental harm on at least 18 worlds. Current projections estimate post-archival cataclysm on as many as 31 worlds."

"Every vessel we can fill, we send to the Ark." ......... "And I'm close. Close to saving them all."

This makes it sound like they have to save species on only a little more than 31 total inhabited worlds. Although the populations would be dauntingly large, it's hardly a drop in the volume of the galaxy.
