Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

Could one of you answer this for me?

OK, who are the Forerunner?

In Contact: Harvest, the Prophet who would become Truth discovers Humans registering as Forerunner Artifacts. This implies that Humanity is Forerunner.

Then in Halo 3, Gravemind says: "Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness, the Fathers Sins pass to his son." This also implies that Humans are descended from the Forerunner.

Later on in Halo 3 Truth confesses to Johnson that Humanity is Forerunner, but a sect that remained behind after the Halos were set off last.

But in Cryptum, it shows us as a separate race, though possibly related through the Precursors.

So are we, or are we not Forerunner?

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Forerunners were a different species than Humans.

They controlled most of the Milky Way and de-evolved Humans after they waged war with each other because the Humans went into Forerunner-controlled space escaping the Flood. Once the Flood managed to grow significantly, they realized their errors and appointed humans as their "descendants" the ones that would take over responsibility of the Mantle and thus "protect" the Galaxy.

That's how I understand things happened (has not read Cryptum.)

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I don't really understand, Cryptum. However, RKOSNAKE seems to be right.

Nice emblem, by the way, snake.

It's a way to avoid people calling me a fanboy (Lord Slade said I was an Emile fanboy cause of my avatar) but thanks.

Oh, yes, I do recall that. Luckily, for me, you can't really say I'm a fanboy with my emblem. lawl.

Forerunners are a separate race. In all way, we are not even close to being related to Forerunners at all, we are simply inheritors of their "Mantle" as Forerunners simply decided to leave for Great Journey as seeing their once thriving empire fell to parasitic forms called as Flood.
