I wish I was still legendary.

Can we just agree that if humans are 100% forerunner, then they have to be descended from a group of Forerunner who went missing for some time, lost all communication, landed on earth and gradually lost all their technology? and nobody went looking for them? I.e. It's IMPOSSIBLE for us to be fully forerunner. We can have forerunner genetics if they evolved similarly to us, or put it deliberately into our DNA in order to identify us as being able to use their technology, but otherwise...
And engineers are technically a machine made by nanotechnology that mimics flesh and bone. Beyond that they're a savant, a sentient machine that cares about nothing other than their originally assigned job (most of the time). Hell, they could probably go rampant if allowed or forced to.
Throwing a glass of DNA to the water would be a better explanation to why humans are on earth than yours.
That's why I said the first explanation was impossible. It simply makes NO SENSE that they would land here, somehow lose all their technology, be entirely forgotten by the second most advanced society in Halo canon, be found 100,000 years later and not recognised for what they were.
IMO, we are a completely unique species that has evolved in a SIMILAR way to the Forerunner, but nowhere near identical. They were using us as a way of being able to study what their past may well have been like, and, realising our similarities and ability to think, 'modified' the humans that were brought to the ark to contain strands of forerunner DNA, to carry on their legacy.
