I have been thinking about a few Halo type things lately. The ending of
Halo 2 made me think who the forerunners may have been.
If you remember back in the original Halo when the Master chief is entering
the Library with the Monitor leading the way the Montiro explains ""The
installation was specifically built to study and contain the Flood. Their
survival as a race was dependant on it. I am grateful to see that some of
them survived to reproduce."
At first I thought the Monitor was referring to the flood. I first thoguth
he was a real prick to be thankful that such a nasty infectious creature had
survived. However the Monitor was more liekly refering to the Master Chief
and possibly the Pilar of Autumn. "I am grateful to see that some of them
survived to reproduce" could be refering to humans. If so then the humans
may be the forerunners or at least very similar to the forerunners.
Ok here are a few more things to get you thinking. The ending of Halo 2 had
the Master Chief on his way to the Ark from where all the Halo rings could
be activated. The Forerunner ship takes the Master Chief back to Earth
implying that the Ark is Earth and possibly a facility on Earth has the
ability to control all of the remaining Halo rings.
It is well know that the Forerunners destroyed themselves when they
activated the rings and tried to wipe out the flood. It is possible that
the Ark was intentionally placed outside the kill zone to preserve some life
so the survivors could start again. It is possible that humans either
evolved from the forerunners or that the forerunners may still be here in
some form.
The forerunners clearly knew about humans in some way as every monitor
refers to humans as reclaimers. It seems humans and the forerunners were
deemed suitable to activate the Halo rings. However the monitors never
call the covenent character reclaimers.
When the Master chief is about to insterts the index into the terminal to
activate Halo Cortana pops up and stops the activation. The Master chief
extracts Cortana and Guilty spark says something else "Why would you
hesitate to do what you have already done?". This indicates that Guilty
spark may see the Master Chief and the forerunner who activated the ring the
last time as one and the same. So the reclaimers, being the Master Chief
and the Forerunner who activated Halo last time, are viewed as the same.
Anyway just a few thoughts I have had lately... This new spin on things may
make for an interesting turn of events in Halo 2 when the Covenant begin to
realise that humans are direct decendants from the forerunners who the
Covenant worship as gods.
Maybe we will see a peace.
