I wonder... If Gravemind is old enough, he would know all about the Forerunners, right? So maybe there was something sinister about them?
My guess is a huge conspiracy theory:
Most of the Forerunner population believed that they were creating new homes (the halos) after they foolishly exhausted their own planet. But the 'leaders' had a different agenda, they had discovered a new creature (the flood) or they created the flood as a way to improve themselves but the experiment went wrong. Either way when the situation got out of hand it was decided to activate the failsafe secretly installed on the rings. Maybe someone found out about this and tried to stop it, but then realised that it had to be done. The story of the halo games may be repeating this.
But anyway Gravemind may be telling Cortana about all these things happening...
Oh dang... its happening again. As soon as I finish typing something I lose all faith in what I just wrote. Oh well I'll actually post it this time...
