Proof!

I mean, they were at Tier 0 on the Forerunner's Technological Achievement Scale in the Haloverse. Which is super advanced, like the Ancients from Stargate.

I do not mean all of them, but what if one half evolved beyond dieing in a way of being an almost omnipresence creature, that is forever hungry, and not just for flesh, but for more knowledge. Yes, some Precursors became so obsessed with knowledge to an extent that they eventually turned into what we now know as the Flood. Possibly with genetic alterations, but mainly for their last for knowledge did they turn into the Flood. Always devouring the flesh and bone of intelligent life... Gaining their knowledge at the same time through it's telepathy. Some Precursors possibly evolved into energy, or leaving the Milkyway seeking other means of gaining knowledge from other galaxies.

Anyway, there is a thread about them being human. But that supports the theory of some Precursors turning into the flood, because of their need for knowledge. Humans have notably been the seekers of knowledge yes? We want to know everything about the universe. So what if the Flood was a group of Precursors, or heck, ONE Precursor who evolved himself into a creature that not only "devours all knowledge" but devours all flesh.

But I suppose trying to fit all knowledge of the universe into flesh would cause mixed singles, and that is why the Flood isn't a completely unstoppable force.

I bet humans are the "Inheritors" because their 200,000+ year old ancestors possibly cause the Flood to exist in some way.


And that's all I got.

If you read Cryptum it hints that the Precursors may have created the Flood to punish the Forerunners for overthrowing them as the most dominant species in the galaxy. It also hints that the last Precursor became the Gravemind, so you may not be too far off on that point, but it was not a thirst for knowledge that led to the Flood, but revenge.

Pretty much this.
The Precursors may have CREATED the Flood, but I doubt they became Flood through evolution. Maybe assimilation, but that's different.

At the same time it is stated again and again how the flood was said to come from clumsy,ancient, automated ships from a near by dwarf galaxy.

I am thinking that the precursors might have let the flood "loose" rather than creat them, becuase it doesn't add up honestly.

Sure if humans,forerunners, and precursors inhabited bott the milky way and andromeda galaxy's in the distant past and all 3 were wiped out from andromeda with only forerunners and humans remaining in the milky way (due to flood).

Why would it take millions of years for the flood to finish the job in the milky way? and why would the humans find the flood first instead of the forerunners? Some things just don't add up, just like the "fact" that the prisoner HAS to be the gravemind but yet it is a precursor?



* and i guessed at all races coming from another glaxy seeing how the precursors were extra-galatic. and due to didact stating "using halo would be a destruction larger than THIS galaxy has ever known". as per terminals
