Re: I see it as...

In Response To: Re: I see it as... (thebruce0) : Well I didn't mean practically, I meant culturally, morally, legally... There : are night and day differences between the PD and Mantle, practically : speaking :) "Everybody" is offered entry into the federation. The mantle seems to involve doing something to a race. There is a genetic component. It's not just "be nice". The Precursors seem to be interviewing races for the job. Or grooming candidates. : Exactly. We only ever hear of humans and Covenant species. Is the implication : that there was no other intelligent life? Or are we just inferring that? : Surely there's other non-intelligent life throughout the galaxy. : It's something I'd love to see explored further..... The beastarium suggests that there are many preindustrial races. Looks like most races haven't recovered from the array activation. Or maybe they were never technological. : In a much more outwardly humble facade perhaps :). But the awe and mystery of : Forerunner capability is slowly reducing as we learn more about them, and : what they're really capable of, relative to our current (future current) : capabilities. It's not just familiarity that breeds competent. Their behaviour is more to blame. : They're starting to feel more like children who have access to lots and lots : of super advanced technology, and didn't have the capacity to do the : proper thing in the (extra) long run. Precursors perhaps are more like : parents now, dealing with its two children in a room filled with insects : Covenant, and a flu strain. Then sort of like Cain and Abel, or Jacob and : Esau, humanity was the favoured child and The Forerunner struck us down, : though we were 'blessed', 'better', more promising, more capable, better : equipped to handle this flu. The Forerunners got the birthright, but : ultimately we should have... Parents are responsible for the toys that they give their children. Do we know if Forerunners made all their own toys? : Dunno, rambling now :)
