My friend brought this up to me a little while back, and I've been thinking about it more and more.
What if the Forerunners are more like Pfhorerunners.
For those of you who don't know who the Pfhor are, they are the the enemies in Marathon.
Like the Forerunners, they have 3 eyes, are tall thin bipedal beings. They also are similar to the Covenant, in that they have enslaved various races to do their bidding, and when the used the Halo array, they repopulated the galaxy, taking specimens back to their planets. So when their race is back up and running, they have all this information and the technology to get there and enslave whomever they want.
Also, it's talked about in the Halo 3 terminals that they have the power to nova a star, an ability I've only heard of the Pfhor being able to do this as well.
And if you're thinking the Forerunners were a noble and kind race, they wouldn't enslave other species. All it takes is one evil, or misguided, or arrogant leader to start something like that, which any race or species would have.
Now, as far as I've seen, there's been no concrete evidence that Halo and Marathon are even in the same universe, other than the Marathon symbol being the Forerunner symbol for Reclaimer. But so far there's been nothing saying it's not, which would be VERY easy for Bungie to do.
There are other things leading toward this being much more possible, but I'm not as much of a Marathon and Halo nerd as my friend, so I can't tell you for sure what they are
Ohhey bro7her, nice avatar you got there.
The Pfhor didn't have the power to nova a star though, the trih xeem was a Jjaro creation.
And Bungie wouldn't want to link Marathon to Halo, then Microsoft would...well, you know.
