I think the flood counts as a separate race, the Forerunner more likely would have kept them there to preserve them for study. I think the thougt processes are all about to catch up with each other, but not yet. Eagle, grab my notes from Wrath, and send me yours. Our theories are similar, but conflict on some minor issues. The Flood is separate, 343 GS seems to be very proper in his vernacular, which may open up somethings for interpretation, but not a fragment like "Their survival..." In this I believe he could only have been talking about the flood. I think that there is no connection (genetically or otherwise) betwwen the flood and Forerunner. It wouldn't make sense, if there were, Flood would have decimated the entire galaxy eons ago.
Wra7hOfAchilles has some of my notes, I'd give them to you but I don't have time. I have to go to work now...

Why would 343GS be surprised that the flood survived, he wouldnt. I agree with Eagle 117 that he was directly talking to MC saying that he was surprised that some of the forerunners(humans) survived. And notice in the maw as eagle has pointed out, 343GS says "Human History is it? Fascinating..." Here he noticed where we changed our name.
Anyways thats what i think
peace
