In Response To: Stuff I'd like to see answered: (RyanTheHeretic) : Here's some stuff I'd like to see answered: -The relationship between : humanity and the Forerunners. Every new product to come out complicates : this ten fold. Guilty Spark says we ARE Forerunner, so does Mendicant Bias : in the dreadnaught, but the Terminals say we aren't... : Frankly, I just want to see a DIRECT, concrete and definitive explanation and
I'll preface by saying that I too would like a concrete answer. Now, the following is my understanding at this point (take it as you will, I could be wrong): My interpretation is that humanity is the inheritors of all the Forerunner left behind. In that sense, we aren't genetically equivalent to the Forerunner, but they chose us (out of all the other species in the galaxy) to inherit their legacy. Armed with the Mantle and during the time when the Conservation Measure was in effect (just prior to the Forerunner disappearance), they settled on our species as their successor. While not all the details are known, it appears that the Forerunner took a liking to the Human species when they were surveying the uninfected planets for life to save. Humans have many physical similarities to the Forerunner, as well as showed an aptitude that the Forerunner looked highly at. Because of this, the Human species became, in a sense, the “children” of the Forerunner. The decision was then made by the Forerunner for the Human species to become the inheritors of all they left behind—the “reclaimers” of the Forerunner magnificence. Humanity was destined to be the Forerunner’s legacy. Unfortunately for us, there was an issue in humanity inheriting all they were supposed to. Therefore, it was a shock to us when we were being called “reclaimers” by the monitors. If things had gone to plan, Humanity would have had all of the Forerunner technology, power, and magnificance. In fact, Master Chief would probably at least be sporting a hefty Class 12 Combat Skin (since his Mark VI armor is apparently not up to Forerunner standards for fighting the Flood, at least according to Guilty Spark). I guess this is analogous to a will. If the Forerunner had written a will, they would pick humanity to receive all their cool toys, structures, tools, and technology--especially these cool ring-shaped structures. : ) ElusiveEagle
