First off, I am kinda new here, in some way....
As I sit, reading the books, it became more ideal to me that the 4runner could actually be Human. I mean, think about it, what if MC discovers that they are. It would all make perfect sense. Humans try to make a superweapon that just so happens to be a virus, Humans succeed, Humans loose control of their new super weapon, Humans find a Flood Free ship, send it off into space, erase all past history, and then start over. It all would make sense in a Halo fiction way.
There are other clues in the game, such as when 343 guilty spark says he is catching up on all their lost time, or the whole fact that the bastered can speak English, or the fact that he does look pretty damn human built! In fact, the whole idea of a rotating ring is a very very humanoid thing on how to create gravity in space, Halo is just one step further!
I don't know, and I bet this topic has already shown up, but I wouldn't have known that... unless I stopped acting lazy and started looking for it!
What I find interesting is in the books the Covenant are searching for Halo. Maybe Halo, Humans, Covenant and the Flood are all together tied in and there was a giant war. In fact, I think this would be the best way to describe the whole thing with Halo. You see, maybe Humans never really made a whole lot of advancements, but they once use to be part of the covenants little...alliance. Something like the covenant never bothered the Humans and the Humans never bothered them. However, the Covenant discover that Humans are making something that could be a superweapon and wipe out the Covenant, so they strick back before they think it is finished. But in the last second when they think they have have destroyed everything, they discover that the humans had completed the superweapon. Curious to see if they could control it, the flood search for it, but have no succes. In the mean time, the humans (Loosing to the covenant) deside they cannot win against the uncontrollable superweapon or the covenant, so they send a spaceship to Earth. They crash the ship into the ocean and hope that it will never be found, and it never is, because it becomes an artificial reef. In the mean time, they have children and start the race all over again. However, they don't tell their children about space, so that way all links to the Humans failure is diverted away so that it will hopefully never happen again.
Back in space, another story is happening. The Humans in space quickly think up a name for themselves to cloak all the knownledge just incase humans did ever return. They call themselves the 4Runner. Well, their Halos are already build and hidden from the covenant (And in an unrealizing way, humans are protecting the covenant). Not realizing the covenant want the weapon, they kill all "4runner." The Covenant begin searching for the new superweapon (AKA the flood), but when they find it, they too cannot control it. Now they go trying to activate all Halo's, with the knownledge of their destruction.
When the Covenant see Humans, they think, Oh -blam!-, they may still be building more of these things, they try to destroy humans. They think of it as a mission from god, because god would not want all life to die because of one race!
Well, that's all I got!
Nice theory, but i'm almost certain that the forerunner are not humans
