I may have an answer for the technology bit.
The forerunners' technology will only work for forerunners, their AI and the humans, who they named as Reclaimers. It wouldn't be much of a stretch, if you ask me, to assume that the Precursor, who were even more advanced than the Forerunner, had a similar security measure for their own technology. Basically, the technology wouldn't work for anyone who wasn't a living Precursor.
How would the Flood have made it to the Milky Way, then? Unless they somehow built similar technology on their own (which I suppose is possible after accumulating so much information), they would need Precursor technology to get themselves to the Milky Way. Only the Precursor and the Flood, according to what information we have to date, have conquered intergalactic travel. And if we're talking about a time before the Flood had that ability, how did they acquire it? Knowledge, or technology? Or both?
