Subject: Why does the Chief somehow know how to use Forerunner technology?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

He's one of the few Reclaimers. Reclaimers know how to access Forrunner technology.


All of humanity are Reclaimers.

Dear Humanity,
We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"
—Sergeant Major Avery Junior Johnson, 2552

Humanity wasn't modeled after the forerunners, the forerunners just simply saw them and thought they should pass the mantle of dominating the galaxy to them. In the book it says something like that his instincts knew what to press on the console which even surprised Cortanna.

After reading Halo:Cryptum I would say the Master Chief and possibly all humans have some form of basic Forerunner knowledge implanted deep within their genetic code that can be accessed in necessary times or maybe just when a Human finds itself on a Halo . This is done by the Librarian and is called Geas.

How did the Zulu tribe work out how to use guns? It could be the same with the Cheif. Also the handprint in the middle of the screen is a slight give away...

Got pork?

You obviously haven't met my younger brother then.

OP: Humans just have a natural "thing" for Forunner tech. After all the forunners gave it to them. I guess that's it, nothing really deep about it at all.

So you're saying there aren't many humans right, because every human is a Reclaimer
