Thank you. Thats helped a lot, I really should read Cryptum but for some reason it's still not in stores over here in the UK, which is really annoying. I would have thought that after 50 years of study and probes, the Human-San Shy'uum empire would have come up with some nifty anti-forerunner weapons and stuff. then again they were attacked by the flood at the same time so there's that and they lasted 50 years, which is impressive given how advanced the Forerunner's were/are.
Did you think that if the flood hadn't shown up as they did, do you think that the Human's would have won? that is true and as any geologist will tell you, humanity has been alive compared to the Earth for less than a blink I think. Perhaps they were among the first advanced civilisations to arise and then became top dog or something.
That was rather stupid and arrogant of the forerunners to not take seriously the most dangerous threat to life in the known universe. what were they thinking? 'oh it all blow over soon ' 'we'll be home for christmas' 'their just stupid plant things, their completely harmless" something long the lines of these idiotic statements?
Q. Are the forerunners still around and if they are, where the hell have they all been?
Well, they didn't realize its nature; they figured it was some sort of a disease found on some random planet, not the bane of all life.
And to answer your question, yes, in fact, the Forerunners are still alive. According to the encyclopedia, they left the galaxy to places unknown.
