Anti-Teabag self-destruct mechanisms ftw

I have recently been seeing some stuff about cryptum, which I personally think is a great book.

A ton of what I have seen is right but there just seem to be a few things that bug me about what people are saying.

The biggest thing is the precursor...
I have seen several statements that the flood were a bio-weapon. This screams idiocy to me.

Several sentences before the final line that makes people think "bio-weapon" there is a line stating, and I quote, "And soon to acquire a new Master, if we did not act quickly - if we did not locate the lost instillation and the former captive."

The entity about to acquire a new master was the flood. The captive referred to the precursor.

Now, between the precursor's description and the fact that he can control flood, I would really want to say that the Graveminds are a way for forerunners to construct themselves.

To support my theory I put out that their ships carried the powder that manifested the flood. These ships were on autopilot around the galaxy practically waiting for people to find. That screams that they had an insurance policy to reconstruct themselves. They at least had, if not made, the powder that makes flood. They have the ability to control them. They resemble, at least in my mental picture of their description, graveminds.

I hope that at least some people agree with me that the precursors actually were the flood in some sense, or at least their masters and not their wielders as a weapon.

Yes!

Finally someone who understands.
At the begining of the 43 years the Captive wasn't the Gravemind.
But he became the Gravemind soon after.
