You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones
Dont knock this thread, think about it, knowone knows what the forruner look like, and there could be different looking forruner, you just never know. plus this thread kind of describes the disliking of each other between the brute and elites, and the killing of the pilots who flew those missions at the end of first strike which was ordered by the prophet.
Ok i was reading a lenghty post and this guy was talking about how the prophets were like the high comand and the other covenat forces obey them, well, i have a new theory i dont think i have seen yet. Get this:
What if, the prophets, brutes and engineers are members of the forruners. If this sounds stupid to you its prolly because knowone has ever thought about it beofre. But bear with me for a minute.
The engineers: Highly intelligent, take things apart and put them together quitcker than you can shake a stick at, quiet and mind there own business, kind of like a traitor who would take things apart learn things about other colonies, species and there tools and how they live only to turn the info they get over to the prophets.
The prophets: Rulers, high authority, when they speak everyone listens, they seem to be hellbent on finding the forruner and nothing will stop them. All of the covenat obey them, and there are not many, so maybe the few prophets we know about are the last of a dying breed. And what would a quiet engineer and a high ranking official be without there body guards.
The brutes: Dumb, obeying strong fo. Will do and does whatever the prophet tells them to do.
Finaly Analysis: this all kind of ads up, think about this. The three forruner being the prophet, brute and engineer all hold important roles in the covenat heirarchy and are pretty much vital to there rule-being the prophet, protection-being the brute and information gathering=being the engineers. Now how does all this tie together, here we go: The forruner created the flood in order to destroy all sentient life so they could rule space. Darn there plan backfires and they build ring worlds in order to contain the flood, meanwhile all the forruner are sperated while they flee from the flood. A few somehow link up with some alien species and create what we know as the covenat, and they quickly take the roles of the highest ranking officials, and of course knowone will challenge them because they created the legion. So the forruners, (prphet, brute and engineer) use there new conglomerate of alien followers as pawns in a game of hide and seek, lending the as we know not so intelligent lower ranking covenat species technology to help the along, meaning, they are using the covenat forces to find seek and destroy humans and the flood and reunite with there fellow forruner friends whom they hope are on other ring worlds or worlds for that matter and once they link up with fellow forruner friends they will kill off all the covenat forces they used to get themselves back together. And something i just realized while typing the last few sentinces is that if im right, then the forruner are using the covenat as a carrier form sort of like the forruners created the flood and they to are parasites and use carrier forms. This also could explain the unmentions new species which could be other kinds of looking forruner.
