Subject: Extent of Human knowledge of Forerunners prior to Alpha Halo?

Anyone know exactly how much the UNSC knew about the Forerunners prior to obtaining Cortana's information from Installation 04? Did they know anything at all about the Forerunners?

From current info they know absolutely nothing about them.

They found little bits of their tech but didn't have a name to it.

Signatures are for squares.

They had the information the SoF got(probably) and they had the information from Oynx.

Much as it pains be to say it Frankie Says the SoF has not been touched yet but he would love to do so. and they had absolutely nothing from onyx prior to "the incident".


@ off topic. If the SoF hasn't been touched canon wise it makes you wonder what the hell was going on in "the mona Lisa".

There's the info from that star chart on Harvest however that is likely only a little bit of info, forerunner structures could be scattered on the worlds they colonized and they could of explored some of them and gained some knowledge.

the key word is "could".

As of the time of this posting the humans did not know of the "forerunner" until chief got back from 04

I'm sure they found limited tech, but couldn't link it together or attach a name to it.

F-f-f-f-fling yourself.

We know from Halo Reach that Dr Halsey had been working with other scientists researching the Forerunner structure under Sword Base.

And I'm sure humanity had come across other Forerunner artifacts from time to time.
