As the title says? ive been on the halo wiki and its confusing as to the origins of them it sounds like the precursors could have made them, or that they had come from another galaxcy that they had completely consumed. im not expecting any real answers because i think it would be a great plot line for future halos, but all the same i like speculation. so who has any ideas?

Have you read Cryptum?










SPOILERS








If you have it would seem that what we can gather from the book is that the Precursors made the flood as a tool for revenge against the Forerunners for wiping out their civilization.

In Cryptum they hinted that the Precursors may have created the Flood, but no-one know for certain.

I think the defeated Precursor fled the galaxy and created the Flood as a bio-weapon to exact revenge on the Forerunner. They sent the disease into our galaxy on the ships that crashed into hundreds of planets mentioned in Cryptum. I'm wondering if they initially hoped they would only effect the Forerunner or did they willingly doom every other species aswell. Were humans just unlucky enough to discover the Flood samples which were intended specifically for the forerunner or were they collateral damage for the "greater good".

i remember reading this. they had received a distress beacon or something and fount nothing but vials containg some fluid that they put on a race of organsims they used as pets and it mutated them, gave them fur, and they began to eat each others fur, and eventually each others bodies. and the infection spread and evolved. thats just off the top of my head.

I think it's best just to see how things unfold in the next two books rather than come to a firm conclusion that the Precursors created them.
