In fact, Mendicant Bias took a Halo into slip space, but never returned. The Didact was also exiled for a thousands years at one point. If I am remembering correctly, there have been 12 Halos or so.
Quote: "The flood first arrived from one of the Magellanic clouds of stars that drift just outside of our galaxy. Its precise origin unknown. Its first effects upon human systems in the far reaches if our arm of the galaxy were subtle, even benign- so it seemed."
Also, this part is hard to explain, but some Flood came from powder found on ancient star ships. The powder was used on some pets, and improved their domestic behavior. Then they were mutated by it. The plague happened first to humans, then San'Shyuum.
Wait, the San'Shyuum? The Prophets? They were interstellar 100,000 years ago too?
Yup. Here are some things which surprised me:
Quote: "...Then they allied with the San'Shyuum, combined their knowledge, and created weapons against which my warriors had little defense."
So, Forerunners battled the San'Shyuum also. Forerunners devasated the SS and Humans. However, they made a pact with SS, and not humans.
Edit: Just read a very unexpected event in the book. Humanity discovered a CURE for the Flood. They counter-infected the Flood with a destructive set of programmed genes.
