Ok this is just a theory of mine. I thought of this after reading Cryptum.
Here is my theory on the three.The Precursor's creatd the Flood as a "revenge" against the Forerunners. This is supported as when humans would as the "Timeless One" about the Flood, the answer drove some of them insane and even suicide. The Timeless One says "our answer is at hand." Most likely the Flood.
The Precursor's sent out ships with flood biomass (the white powder) to other Precursors. Possibly to work on the stuff or to soon release it to the Forerunners. The ships got lost and millions of years later crashed and then were found by the humans. This though could be slightly unlikely as the crashed ships were not recognized as Precursor in origin.
Notice that when Mendicant Bias tested a Halo ring at Charum Hakkor, the ring disappeared along with Mendicant and The Timeless One. Next thing you know, Mendicant is working for the Flood. Bias also speaks of having a new master. If you read Halo Evolutions, you'd know that Gravemind told Cortana how he is the one who persuaded Bias to the Flood's side.
Could Gravemind and the Timeless One have some sort of connection?
My guess is that The Timeless One is "immune" to the Flood. Basically the Flood are genetically made to follow Precursor orders. The Timeless One somehow had hijacked the Halo and had it taken to the Gravemind. Then the Gravemind persuaded Mendicant to join him.I feel like The Timeless One will play a significantly larger role in Cryptum 2 and 3. Anybody agree or disagree with any of these theories of mine?
Also I noticed that in Halo 3, Gravemind says to Chief "Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness, for a father's sins pass to his son."
Father must be ancient humanity and son is obviously current humanity. Humans are responsible for the Flood's uprising and were the first to fight it.
for the record you weren't the first one to think about this and are many months late coming to this conclusion.
1. Whatever they precursor told the humans has to be different than what it told the didact. To me i am going against the grain in thinking that ancient forerunners might have created that type of humanity. Which i believe would drive anybody crazy being told that the person you hate the most and the person that has tried to kill you is your father/mother.
The only reason i think this is because cryptum twists everything we know around so i am thinking with that in mind.
2.The ship part wouldn't make sense at all seeing how the precursors utterly lost. If they did make the flood it was a ditch attempt aimed at causing damage at a later time. hence the flood being currently found.
Unless the The forerunners in the milky way are refugees from their original galaxy that they in the precursors inhabited. which there could be an extremely slim chance of that being partly right.
3. Again you are far too late. we have long known that the 43 years mendicant bias spent talking to the precursor is the same 43 years it spent talking to what we know as the gravemind. which we got from the terminals.
So we have come to the consensus that mendicant bias takes this prisoner to the flood so it can get infected thus becoming the gravemind that we know.
Which is why we don't think the "Gravemind" stage isn't natural seeing how there wasn't a report of there being one when humanity fought the flood. not to mention the gravemind in halowars and mona lisa were far different than this one. even if it was a "proto" stage.
I tend to think that the Flood is a creation of the Precursors
before they were completely destroyed only because of the words of the Timeless one.
Now thinking about this theory ( which I once supported ) and after reading your ideas "Grey" it does seem unlikely that the precursors created the flood for several reasons.
1. Knowing the power of the flood were they so blinded by fury at of their war that the forerunenrs that they intended on destroying all life ? Unlikely.
2. If the Precursors created the flood ( powder, etc... ) why is of extra-galactic origin ( I think you mentioned something about this ). It would be strange for the precursors to create the flood, then send them to the Cloud from where the came and then back to the Milky way. It would be like taking a Parabola to a location instead of a straight line. I am assuming the Precursors location Origin is the Milky way for this reason; IF they were not of the Milky Way Galazy then the Forerunners must have had the ability to Travel to different Galaxies since they were at war with and destroyed them ( the Precursors ).
Therefore either
A. the Flood are of intergalactic Origin
B. the flood were created by the Precursors in a location outside our galaxy and then brought in to exterminate all life as part of a Galactic Genocide.
C. The flood was designed with the same purpose as the Rings, with the Precursors viewing the forerunners in the same way we view the flood.
D. The flood were Genetic experiments ( which still doesn't explain the intergalactic origin unless the Precursors conducted decided to conduct those experiments outside the galaxy for safety reasons. )
E. The flood are of a terrifying intergalactic origin to great to explain.
Exactly.
I am betting that the Precursors started in another galaxy which they created the forerunners ( i assume for building) and then they go to war. I would like to say that maybe some forerunners branched off and left this galaxy coming to the milky way while the flood destroyed the forerunners in the native galaxy.
Or maybe the forerunners ran to escape the flood and their number is finally up.
