5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.
The Flood originated in disabled ships that wandered into this galaxy, and soon enough, prehistoric, space-faring Humans had found these ships, and the powder that was onboard. Glass containers onboard contained Flood spores, which were tested and rendered harmless by the humans. Eventually, they gave this powder to their pets to keep them calm, and after a few centuries of breeding, the pets started growing odd fur and tentacles grew out from them. The new disease soon spread to the humans. After a long war, the humans finally managed to cure the Flood, and sent them out of the galaxy. At the same time though, the Forerunners were waging a war with the humans, and the humans lost, also not giving the Forerunners the cure. The humans were deevolved and sent back to Earth, and just as the Forerunners thought there was going to be no more conflict, they re-found the Flood on the planet G17g (I thin that's the name) and thus began the downfall of the Forerunners, and what led to the Humans/Covenant rediscovering the Flood.
There you go.
