I know a lot of people have been discussing whether the humans are the forerunners or whether they are not, but after reading through the fall of Reach again I got to the part where a creature which is described by MC as having tentacles and floating above the pavement, which to me sounds like a covenant engineer. The engineer proceeds to disassemble a HUMAN vehicle, examines the parts then puts them back together in different arrangements. Your probably thinking so what? But if I remember correctly don’t the engineers only touch forerunner technology or forerunner related technology. Don’t you think this is a bit odd?

I might be making a complete mistake here so correct me if I m wrong. This information can be found in chapter 20 page 183, Fall of Reach, when MC is on Sigma Octanus IV.
Have i just talk absolute bull -blam!- or is this a clue?

I'm thinking that if we are from forrunner, and cove isnt but uses the technology, well then, is there anything out there NOT made by forrunner?

honestly, what else could it touch? rocks? its -blam!-?

Read first strike, An engeneer fixes MCs shields, they dont only touch forerunner tech, they dont care who they work for, if u read first strike u find out that engeneers dont care what side u are one as long as they get to work

so yes ur theory is -blam!-

I didn't think they only touch forerunner technology, but I might be mistaken.

See, MC's shields would be the same as a car: human (and forerunner, according to his theory) technology. So that's not concrete proof.

i dont think that the humans are forrnners because how would the humans not know about there HALO but the covanent did?

also if the humans were forrunners why dont the covanent fire projectiles instead of plama, sience they are a adaptavie race.

Well I just noticed it the other day and I thought it would be worth a mention. I cant remember where I read that the engineers will only fix things forerunner or forerunner related but I am sure I have heard it. Ah well It was worth a try.

I can see what you are saying about the covenant being adaptive and it has been discussed in detail before about the human/forerunner connection but didn’t the covenant create an AI which if I remember correctly Cortana recognised the code of. Well if the covenant imitate forerunner technology isn’t Cortana human made? The covenant hasn’t imitated any other human thing apart from the AI. Well this in my opinion is how the covenant made their AI by copying Cortana’s code. So we know that the covenant imitate forerunner technology so what is to say that the reason they copied Cortana is because the prophets know of the relationship between the human and the forerunner?

maybe halo was activated countless years ago and the FR put their Dna on earth and it "didn't have sufficient biomass" to be killed by the rings. humans could be related to the FR and be completly oblivious
