I know of the forrunners, who were and extremely intelligent race next from another race called the precursors. Forruners had technology identified as tier 1, but precursors had tier 0, a tier so sacred and upgraded they could've done watever, they could have disapeared by getting bored of their galaxy. What do you know about them?

I know that they either were carriers of the Mantle, or created it, then passed it down to the Forerunner in a sacred trust. I believe they could also accelerate the evolution of species and tamper with the outcome in almost any way possible.

I think the Forerunner also based their tech off of the Precursor in the same way the Covenant did. They apparently had the capability of controlling dimensions. There are several theories about them and the Flood on this board too.

One of them states that the Flood was created as a sort of memory-log for dead Precursors, another says that the Precursor decided to accelerate a species into the epicenter of evolution, but the Flood turned on them and consumed them.

the word "transsentient" implies divinity, or god-hood.

I don't care. I really don't.

What he said, although some imply that the Precursors may be the Flood themselves, the pinnacle of evolution and sentience when given enough time, and with enough time could become omnipotent.

If the Forerunners are mysterious, we have little hope to find more about the Precursors.
