"Think about it like this: the Halos would really only kill off anything that had enough biomass to sustain the Flood. We are fairly sure that lifeforms like grunts do not have sufficient biomass, since we see no combat forms of them. Now, a human child would have around the same amount or less biomass than a grunt would. Logically, this would mean that things like grunts and human children might not be killed by the Halos, allowing the species to survive and grow in the last 100,000 years. "
Halo kills any creature that is sentient or sufficent biomass. In other words unless it's bacteria it's dead. Second grunts turn to carriers. Third we were as other species were in the haloverse here during the forerunenrs troubles as there is no way life evolved from bacteria to a sentient and gained all that techolongy in 100,000 years. Based upon the defintion of a "library" in the "library" forum (look at the top image). The library contained cloned DNA sequences for life to be brought back after halo had fired and the radiation had gone away ( 150 days or 150 years based upon noahs ark).
I forgot 343GS says the Halos kill off all sentient life, but that could also be a broad generalization, depending on how you define things as being sentient.
How, exactly do you KNOW that grunts turn into carriers? When I see one, they are the same height as a combat form (their legs are, at least). Combat forms are elites and humans (so far), and grunts have MUCH shorter legs than either of those.
Also, don't base everything on Noah's Ark, you can't prove that that has any relation to the Halo story. For all we know, the Ark could be referring to the Ark of the Covenant, or some other thing alltogether. You can't make a valid thoery based on other, unproven theories.
While the library might contain the DNA sequences for various lifeforms, that wouldn't help out all that much. If you cloned a human, machinery would have to take care of that human until it was the equivalent of about 7-8 years old, teach it to walk/move around, etc. And it would need to do this for a whole lot of different "new" humans, so that we wouldn't die off from inbreeding.
