We'll find out why they chose seven in the next book.

I like how it was us who jumped the flood from being a harmless powder to being a full grown sh!7 storm.
And how we created a cure, and still managed to loose lolwell the humans beat the flood the first time.
then the forerunners beat the humans and couldn't beat the flood, so the built the halos.
this is quite an intriguing book
Althoug i would have prefered it if they had kept it to just seven halos, because of stuff like the 7 halo projections in the citadel (Halo 3) and when the hologram expands at the end of Halo 2.
If there were 12, it would have shown 12, as even though they were destroyed, and the forerunners went ahead with the use of the rings, the ark would have rebuilt them.
Well the reality is that Mendicant Bias was able to control 5 of the rings at a single time, which really means that of the 12, only 7 remained in Forerunner control. It's likely in the following books we'll see that they opted to destroy the 5 that MB took under his wing and stop reproduction on them due to the issues with re-issuing 5 brand new rings when 7 were still more then capable.
