I have a theory about the flood that may have been thought of before so don’t flame me if it has been and if I have taken your idea and not known that I have I am also sorry (Great minds think alike)
I believe that the flood are none other than the forerunners. The runners may have been trying to strengthen them selves, find a way to be immortal. So they began to davel with genetics to make them selves stronger and even reproduce faster ect. Of course from this point on all runners would have a bit of genetic manipulation but not to the extent of the flood. To preserve there original DNA they placed untouched runners on earth so if they were to ever go to far they would be able to start over in the future. Now the flood stupid yet powerful, fast reproducers, and almost unstoppable could be let loose on an enemy destroying an entire planet. Maybe they were used just for that? What would they do if these creatures after being dropped on a planet evolved to be smart and powerful? They needed a way to preserve there race so they built Halo(s) to study and find ways to kill them. Also they could be used in the event they do evolve and are able to build it would be a perfect defense if halo was fired then it would destroy all life in that area. That means the runner were all over the galaxy so a 255 light year area (I think?) would only be a scratch to there whole empire. Now for GS 343 helps my idea. Can GS see out of that blue thing? I believe it cannot it can only sense electrical currents I think… So it may have mistaken MC as the reclaimed because he had a small amount of genetic manipulation, as all Spartan 2’s have and in my theory all runners had a small amount also.
So that’s about it, im prolly wrong but you know PM me or leave your thoughts here.
