Transsentient beings can survive a Halo ring blast,assuming the prisoner really is a precursor.
Regardless,the prisoner did survived it.
bingo! the Precursor 'cell' and everything else was simply wiped, as though it never existed and the prison survived, somehow immune to the effect, problem is in new book someone hints that maybe the ring can do more than just total neural obliteration, not sure but it might have been main characters father, hinting that he designed the rings and that they had been 'twisted' to some end that they weren't intended.
the rings work by emitting some sort of pulse right? whose to say that they can't be dialled (like the super-weapon in Stargate, on Dakara.) to emit other sorts of pulses, that have other effects, either way Didict describes it as an awful side effect of whatever weapon the Halo arrays use. my biggest guess is it is beyond comprehension, intentionally written into the Halo story that way, how better to not have to explain something then to just say it is by definition impossible for us to understand.
tell you what though, after reading through Cryptum the Forerunner seem peculiar on a technological level, on one hand capable of creating weapons of mass destruction so grand they can affect the entire galaxy, on the other hand ships of theirs being destroyed by mere humans. the Ancients in Stargate have a similar continuity problem in their respective story arc, they are beyond advanced yet seem quite backward in a lot of ways, on one hand their shield technology seems absolutely impossible to defeat, on the other hand they loose a war with the Wraith, who are hugely outmatched technologically.
Are you talking about the ancient Humans?Because those Humans are at the level of the Forerunners.
But i don't understand your point?
