So apparently, Precursor shape Forerunner. Forerunner overthrow Precursor and keep one alive (gravemind). The Precursor or some unknown group sent automated ships out to eventually reseed the Precursors aka Flood back into the galaxy.
They landed in human space. The human empire had currently allied with the Prophets to take down the Forerunner, and the humans were the most powerful faction outside of the Forerunner. The Didact believed that humanity would crush the Prophets once they were through with them.
However, the Precursors/Flood began fighting the humans as the human/prophet alliance was fighting the Forerunner. The humans sacrifice a third of their populace/territory to literally choke the Precursors to death on gene seeds designed to kill them in human carriers. But this drains so much resources that, when the Prophets drop out of the war, the Forerunner are able to overrun them.
No one believes the humans, who are devolved, nor the prophets who are stripped and quarentined.
Flood comes back, way way later. The Forerunner are fighting them, secretely. Mendicant joins up, Halos vs Forerunner capital.
So now we have the Forerunner vs the Flood/Precursor, and only 7 Halo's left. (Amazing that there were 18 of them.....12 in the galaxy, and 6 more at the Ark).
I follow this novel correctly?
