Hey, everyone likes a history lesson! Especially me. I could here the same thing over and over again and still be awed by some of it. You know, we need to teach more history to our kids. (Especially those little parts that mostly get omitted from the history books because they aren't nice and don't fit into our cultural image of ourselves, things like -blam!-ness being commonplace, the conspiracy around JFK's death, how the Japanese tried to surrender before we nuked them...)
Oh no! I'm doing that thing where I veer of subject again. It happens...
Quick you fool, think of something
Oh, alright. Um...I got it!
How are you suppossed to starve the flood? They appeared out of the forerunner structure after 100,000 of dormancy. If they were still around then, how is Halo suppossed to kill "their food" and starve them. They still sound like idiot savants to me.
Which brings me to my next point. Just because people weren't advanced and the Covenant probably weren't a client race yet, doesn't mean there weren't other races out there somewhat like the forerunner. Or maybe forerunner civil war. Or they could be humanitarians. Whatever the case, they built a weapon that saved the galaxy by saving it. Which is very much what they did in Starhammer, I think. I've been reading it, but someone accidentally leaked stuff to me. Sounded like the ancient race there destroyed themselves saving the galaxy. (Starhammer is the only book that can be considered a reliable template for Halo. As a matter of fact, it was Halo before Halo was Halo or even before Halo was Blam and before it was Monkey Nutz (No joke). So much blatently came out of that book.)
