I'm short on time so this will be abbreviated. What if the Halo weapon serves two pusposes: to kill potential Flood food, but also to "re-seed" the galaxy with the genetic information to, in a sense, repopulate and replace the lives that were taken? That's how I think the Library and the Index fit into this story, the Library holds the genetic information of all the known life the Forerunners discovered. Kinda like reforresting the woods after logging. This is pretty consistent with Bunige's own definiton of The Library, found on the Forum header of the same name.
