I didn't say the forerunner prisoners were in cryptum. I'm saying that in cryptum they describe what a "Cryptum" is.. which would back up the threads original theory of "prisoned" forerunners.
But the Cryptum's are not prisons, they are a method for Warriors to impose self-exile for dishonor or shame, not as punishment imposed by a court or judge.
You're absolutely right, idr if i was the one who said they were prisoners or if it was the thread, but i do know i said they were "prisoned" i actually meant "imprisoned". With that said, ill theorize that the next enemy that IS of the forerunners will be Forerunner warriors that were so honorable they put themselves through exile just b/c of a mistake they had made in the past. Think about it, a warrior so honorable, you'de think they'de be an admirable foe, right? This was probably also intended, maybe they knew they they would need warriors from the past in the future so they just picked all the screw ups and made them seal themselves in cryptums.
That last part is just a thought but yea, i think you get the gist of it.
Unfortunately, the Halo Encyclopedia, though somewhat sketchy, says that some Forerunners left the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy while the others died. I suppose on some far off rock some Warriors built Cryptum's, but it's very unlikely they would on a Shield World. None were found on the Flood-infested SW or on Onyx. And even if we buy the "One portal links them all" it would seem pretty counter-productive if the Flood breached the defenses.
Lets go over it. We have Forerunners in the Shield World and Warriors in their Cryptum's. The Flood infiltrate the SW and attack. Now the Forerunners have to awaken the Warriors, but a problem arises. The Warriors have to be treated with a mineral bath that restores them. There would be no time to do any of that.
For now, I'll stick to what is established, some Forerunner's fled the galaxy, the rest died and no Cryptum's were set up since.
I just realized.. maybe they DID plan this and they DID put the cryptums in the shield world.. think about it. You would only be on the shield world AFTER the use of the halo array. What does the halo array do? kills everyone! So just in case the halo array was used and all the forerunners were killed.. they would have imprisoned forerunners in the shield world(s) to back up the legacy or w/e. but damn.. the bathing.. Maybe the baths are on the shield world? who knows :/ *shrugs and yea, wiki and w/e is really sketchy, they give a lot of "theories", "ideas", "thoughts" and "speculations" but bungie has done that since halo 2, i remember googling this stuff.
