Okay, I comment on the starting post. You say 'Halo will swat all life off the map'. According to this:
http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/pd.halodata.html
Halo will wipe out 25,000 lightyears of life. Now, according to the map, the Milky Way is 100,000 lightyears wide. It would take four Halos [but if they weren't equally apart, it wouldn't cover ALL over the Milky Way, if you want to be smart-alecky]. There may not be more than two for all we know.
Quote again:
"The Infection Forms rewrite a victim's cellular structure and convert him into a Combat Form, and then later a Carrier Form-an incubator for more Infection Forms."
This must lead to the point that if the Forerunners could build such a, planet-istic thing, they would probably smart enough to even create their own life-form. This theory of mine [I call the Eggplant Theory...hehehe] borders along the theory of anothers that somewhere an experiment went wrong. I guess I can somehow agree that my theory went wrong, and that the Forerunners left Halo. Infact I do believe that Halo WAS something close to a modern day military base. They might have even left it just TO study the Flood. Which brings me another theory, [which I call the Acorn theory...what?! If you are smart you shall understand my reasoning with these...things] that maybe the Flood inhabits OTHER planets and/or other Halo's (if there are any, except the rumored one in Halo 2), and that the Halo MC landed in was a test planet. I know it may not follow along the 'Fortress' theory, bu it may be a weapon just incase the Flood found transport to another planet, and they had fast enough transport to get out OR the would risk their own lives to ensure the safety of others.
