Just wanted to throw in the quote from Gravemind in Halo 3:
"Child of my makers"
I.e. It (Gravemind) was made by something and we (humanity) are also their child.
Is that enough to say that Prim != Gravemind?
In an earlier post I collected lines that I believe support this theory that the Prisoner/Primordial is indeed a Gravemind, and not a Precursor.
I believe it is either a form of a Precursor, constructed of assimilated organisms, or some ambiguous, intelligent form who claims to be a Precursor, but no one is around to remember what they looked like, so it couldn't have been disputed.
Also, it is important to note that it is a Gravemind, not the Gravemind.
Graveminds are merely the pinnacle of Flood development. It's not a single entity that controls them all that exists once. They can be made, and more than one. It's not the original, and not something that disables all Flood when killed.
It seemed to imply that precursors were the pinnacle of flood creation.
Or perhaps a gravemind made of precursors (perhaps what the TO was?).
Hard to say as of now...
Child of my makers...hmmm. Well acording to primordium, humans, forerunner and flood alike were made by the precursors.
First the forerunners, then humans. The forerunners were deemed a failure and the precursors tried to get rid of them, but the forerunner fought back and eliminated most of them. Then, probably after seeing how humans and forerunner alike were endlessly waging war, they made the flood, the only solution to have a single unified and peaceful galaxy.
I agree with you here. although i believe the primoridium is actually a precursor and not infected by the flood.
And no the Precursor was not the pinnacle of the flood creation but the pinacle of the flood was when all life is assimilated into one form.
Like the melting pot. While the Librarian tends to favour multiculturalism.
