: Well, IF halo and marathon take place in the same (or similar) universe, and
: similarly IF marathon and pathways take place in the same (or similar)
: universe, we can recall the jjaro's solution to the sleeping
: god/wrkncacknter -- once you put it to sleep they would appear a bit later
: on and provide more permanent security measures.

: I don't know about you, but I'd say a military cyborg capable of saving the
: universe from the release of a sleeping god by finding and altering a
: timeline where the god is captured, was a pretty damn effective
: preventative measure.

: If we think about it this way, the similarity of the logos slots together
: nicely: *Jjaro=forerunners (Jjaro is spanish for water-carrier or similar,
: and so isn't market-friendly for a worldwide hit like Halo. 'Forerunners'
: is nice and neutral)

: *Jjaro formed or put into effect the UESC/UNSC as we know it, and promoted
: exploration of the Mjolnir/Spartan projects.

: *UESC/UNSC adopted as their logo a jjaro glyph (perhaps simplified).

: *Therefore, when the player visits Halo, they see glyphs and logos similar to
: the UESC/UNSC logo.

: PS Re: the theories that the forerunner could be one creature -- this slots

: the s'pht.

I too have entertained ideas that the Jjaro could be forerunner. . . . .

both are "Godly" advanced, and are considered mythical in their technological capabilities. I recall references in Marathon stating that Jjaro technology could be found spread throughout the galaxy, remants of an advanced species that had since then 'dissapeared.' (such as the Halo fortress worlds, maybe?) The question is whether the forerunner simply represent the jjaro as a common theme found between bungie games, are whether bungie actually considers the two to be the same. The other question is where the human=forerunner link comes in (forerunner being ancient ancestors, or simply helped 'father' humans into sentinence, but i'm just making stuff up now).

By your comments, it seems you believe that the jjaro are 'guiding' the humans (though behind the scenes?), (such as when they helped the humans stop the sleeping God from awakening), even for hundreds of years? Whoa, I like that idea. It is the only explanation I can think of for the humans sharing anotherwise alien glyph, becuase, somehow, humans had to be exposed to it.
