look at it this way, before the forerunners activated the halo rings, they took DNA samples from every species and stored them away so that the universe could be repopulated. they did not, however take actual live beings and store them,
so if not time travel, then how is cheif both forerunner and alive.
also, here is the full text from the final terminal including the legendary extra text.--
//FRAGMENT 7/7 [RECORDED VERBATIM
AND INTERPRETED POST-CATACLYSM]
D: Proud? When I have failed you
utterly, how can I feel anything
but sorrow?
Bias has come undone. He crossed
the line this morning - brought the
abomination with him - and destroyed
your waiting rescue party.
It's over. We're activating the
[destructive arrayed matrix],
our shameful last resort.
I can picture you in your garden,
surveying all you have created -
surveying all you have preserved.
And I curse the circumstance that
keeps my finger on the trigger.
D: Of all the fates to befall us,
this is the cruelest of all.
My inaction and hesitation and
foolishness kept me here, on the
wrong side of the line. And [300
years? of our society's failure
and miscalculation makes me your
executioner.
It's too much to bear.
// ERROR - NO CARRIER OR RECEIPT
AVAILABLE {DEAD END TRANSMISSION}
//INFORMATION DESTROYED IN TRANSIT
D: Mendicant Bias is trying to
prevent us from firing the Array.
He speeds back to the Ark, but he
won't succeed. Offensive Bias will
stop him, and I will burn this
stinking menace in your name.
And then?
I will begin our Great Journey
without you, carrying this bitter
record. Those who came after will
know what we bought with this [false
transcendence] - what you bought,
and the price you paid.

You don't know the contortions I had
to go through to follow you here,
Reclaimer. I know what you're here
for. What position do I take? Will I
follow one betrayal with another?
You're going to say I'm making a
habit of turning on my masters.
But the one that destroyed me long
ago, in the upper atmosphere of a
world far distant from here, was an
implement far cruder than I.
My weakness was capacity -
unintentional though it was! -
to choose the Flood. A mistake my
makers would not soon forgive.
But I want something far different
from you, Reclaimer.
Atonement.
And so here at the end of my life,
I do once again betray a former
master. The path ahead is fraught
with peril. But I will do all I can
to keep it stable - keep you safe.
I'm not so foolish to think this
will absolve me of my sins. One life
hardly balances billions.
But I would have my masters know
that I have changed.
And you shall be my example.
