I'm just your average idiot savant.

Heres my tweaked version of this theory. As well as what I think happened
The Precursor in there infinite knowledge and power became ignorant and un-wise. They raced towards the future in scientific innovations. So fast that if they stopped for a moment to think of the implications of a technology another would beat them to it. There world spinned out of control. Not a single individual could keep up in the progress. They spanned across the stars as well as made advancements at the cellular level and beyond. Then some how in a strive to create the perfect organism they began mutating a species. Accelerating its evolution until what they created could no longer be of this universe. Many would have embraced the creature, seeing it as the final stage of evolution. In there arrogance they where consumed. The thing spread in such speed that none could fight it. Scores of worlds fell to the monstrosity, and countless more embraced it as a desired thing. Those few left who refused to be consumed fled. Others attempted to fight it but the odds where immeasurable.
Many fled to distant worlds. Isolating themselves so they could never be found. Like a great forest fire the flood soon lost all source of fuel and its presence in this universe quickly diminished. Only isolated pockets of the beast remained. Survivors of different species that where part of the once great empire where now few and scattered through the vast reach of space. Of these there where even fewer true precursor left among the stars. Yet progress could not be halted. These species continued to evolve and create technology. Some far more rapidly than others. One of these species stumbled upon precursor technology, which they studied and used to make there own. They latter claimed there god given right to rule all within there reach. Until they stumbled upon the beast....
I suggest you read about the terminals and forerunner in Halowiki Wolverfrog. You may find supporting evidence. I can already name some off the top of my head.
Child of my enemy why have you come? I offer no forgiveness. A fathers sins pass to his Son.
Thats the Gravemind. His enemy and Humanity's father could be the precursors.
Best theory I,ve heard yet! I like the idea of the Precursors creating The Flood. Also, the Precursors being an empire of different species makes sense.
