Subject: What happened to the precursor remmnants in the galaxy?

Okay, before you read this, read the entire thing before forming an opinion. This sounds completely far fetched and unbelivable, but just remember how crazy new information in Halo has been. Remember when we were fighting the Covenant and all of a sudden some zombie-alien tried to eat your face? Shocking right? Seemed insane? Yeah, Halo does that, things that are true can seem unbelievable but they still are true.. So without further ado, here is my far-fetched take on the threads subject.

Since Precursor tech was neural based and had a central nervous system, what if the flood took over all the Precursor tech while they were at war with the Forerunners? This sounds crazy but stay with me for a second. Humans and MC, along with the Elites, were able to destroy the flood, or at least severly weaken it. If they are so unadvanced compared to the Forerunners, How did the Forerunners have any trouble defeating the flood? If the flood infected Precursor tech because they use they hosts neural system (or Gravemind used telecenetics to control it) the Forerunners would have had a much tougher time fighting them. Then, when the Halo array destroyed the flood, it destroyed the Precursor tech they had infected.

Now I know this sounds far-fetched, but when has anything in Halo not right? And as it was previously mentioned, this forum is for throwing around ideas, no matter whether they are plausible or not.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

I don't agree with your full post but i do like the idea you presented.

the flood could have stumbled across precursors ruins and that opens up a plot.

MB did send a good amount of his forces "elsewhere" during his fight with OB. it would be cool if it was for a precursor related reason.

MB - Mendicant Bias (AI who betrayed the forerunners and aided the flood)

OB - Offensive Bias (AI who had control over forerunner ships and fought Mendicant Bias and the flood)

I get what your saying but okay lets settle this right here and now....
The forerunners themselves committed basic suicide trying to fight the flood correct....cause the flood overwhelmed them and they did take control over their technology and their bodies....but but hang on now don't jump out your seat and break your computer screen saying thats what I just said cause think about this .....if the forerunners activated Halo to wipeout the food supply for the floor trying to starve it and kill it.....think for a minute wait didn't master chief just do the same thing ? Yes he did...what makes you think in your right mind the flood will die from "just" being hit with the Halo Ring's massive radiation....the forerunners activated hundreds of Halo's wiping out all living species remember....so the flood isn't going to die from just one ring....you need to go to the source, cause think...where did the flood come from....and what does the flood do ? Take over living things and it has a mind of its own such as a Grave-mind correct ?
Now here is where I'm blowing you , out your seat....if you the President of the U.S and you know it only takes 3-5 nukes to destroy the U.S. -wouldn't you build something to prevent yourself from dying by them ? Of course...and the Forerunners "have and had" the technology so whats stopping the flood from using the memories left behind in the forerunners bodies to protect itselfs.... exactly

Oh thank you, don't know why I didn't get this lol.

And in response to the other person's post, I am not saying this is the correct theory (and it's probably not) I'm just presenting this idea because it is different from all the other theories I have read

We should know better, because we are better.

We don't know that the Forerunners are alive. The encyclopedia said they left the Orion Arm but we don't know what happened after that. The activation of the Array killed off significant portions of their population and there might not have been enough survivors to maintain a viable gene-pool.

Edit: That is a very interesting theory you have there, Stormy.

1- At what point it the Halo trilogy did MC destroy the human race?

2- That's what I'm saying, if the Precursor tech with its neural system was indeed able to be infected by the Flood, then the Forerunners would have wanted to destroy it becasue it was food for the Flood

How do we know that the Precursors didn't send a signal to another galaxy under their control to send the Flood to our galaxy? They could have different cultures in different regions like us. Or something entirely different. It makes perfect sense that they didn't use Slipspace because they didn't want their ships to be detected.

Hell, how do we even know if their cargo ships have vastly different designs then their other ships?

And I'm just saying my guess at this I could be right and I could be wrong, the only one's who know are the Beta Testers, Bungie, and 343

king Dark, your post didn't "blow me out of my seat." We all know there are Forerunner Shield Worlds and we already know that the Flood did find few of them based on Halo Wars plot.

before anybody tries to say "they were destroyed by halo fire" they were only destroyed because of being on a certain tuning, which i doubt is the same tuning that was used during the galactic wipeout

They were not on a certain tuning for precursor technology. Precursor technology works on neural physics, so the "tune" on the halos that destroy sentient life also destroy precursor technology.


bornstellers father clearly says it was impossible for "that" (prisoner to be broken free, ruins destroyed) with the tuning he had put it on. i can get a quote if you like.

Bornstellar's father didn't know for sure what they were doing, and they were trying to kill the prisoner, not release it.

your posts are starting to drift from the topic.

he didn't know what they were doing but he knew what the halo should have been doing since he created it.

" that was never a possibility in my design, they changed its tuning. It's the negation of neural physics, far beyond..." - page 249


and mendicant bias goal was to free the prisoner *cough gravemind* read the terminals.

Even so, the firing that destroyed the precursor artifacts also killed all advanced life at fuan hakkor. Therefore both are destroyed at the same "tune".

What? Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was using our species as an example of how and why the precursors could have multiple styles of ships.

We should know better, because we are better.

Maybe it was not a tuning as in tuning an amp, but rather increasing the power of the Halo? Or maybe it was just tuning and they found a frequency, for lack of a better word, that affected Precursor structures and life forms.

Maybe the Precursor structures have a variety of neural waves. When they got to the Precursor planet, Bornstellar mentioned ruins. If the neural signal that Halo was set at, was the exact setting of the precursor ruins, wouldn't it mean that the buildings would disintegrate into dust?

We don't know that. They might disintegrate or they might crumble. We know so very little about this.

[Announcement Trailer] Halo: Forerunner

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Perhaps (since the architecture is at least comprised of organic material) Precursor buildings have a lifespan. The organic part could naturally decay and die while the non-organic (if it is a type of metal) could rust/decay after being unattended for so long.

I'd expect an advanced species to overcome these obstacles but still...

2.a signal over the course of time? the ships have been landing on planets for eons which is why they have been discovered over a range within the same territory. It is more likely that the flood is a random mutation given such.

No, charum hakkor wasn't noted for having life only precursor ruins which we all destroyed and the cage was released.

and the tuning was obviously changed if his dad said normal tuning wouldn't have been able to destroy precursor ruins.

therefore different tuning as i have said and even got the line from the books saying the exact same thing.

well the organic part must be insanely long seeing how the ruins are older than forerunner civilization, and the metal is strong enough to swim around in the core of planets and brought to the surface without a scratch.

Edit: That is a very interesting theory you have there, Stormy.


Or they clearly had enough forerunners for a population which is why they left. and it would be a horrible plot line for medicant bias to send chief to the forerunners and instead no forerunners becuase they (like we have been "told") are dead.

Even so, the firing that destroyed the precursor artifacts also killed all advanced life at fuan hakkor. Therefore both are destroyed at the same "tune".


No, charum hakkor wasn't noted for having life only precursor ruins which we all destroyed and the cage was released.

and the tuning was obviously changed if his dad said normal tuning wouldn't have been able to destroy precursor ruins.

therefore different tuning as i have said and even got the line from the books saying the exact same thing.

Read carefully, I said Fuan Hakkor, not Charum Hakkor. Fuan Hakkor was known for its variety of life forms. After the halo was fired, only basic life forms survived.
