this is my theory---
its probable rubbish but...
ok... the beggining---
the forerunners are acctually previous spartans, much the same as our good old friend the masterchief. in a matrix style twist, the end of the universe is nigh, but the gravemind (who is acctually God) saves the masterchief from destruction. He takes masterchief to a divine place where other spartans are waiting, all from previous universes (you see, time is a funny concept, invented by humans... in reality time does not exist at all, existance runs on one large cycle) in the cycle. gravemind tells them that in order to save the universe, blah blah blah, they will need to band together and continue with the great jouney, because this truthfully is the only way to save the universe. The other spartans are forerunners. The forerunners (this now includes you) have to stop the end of the universe in any way possible. this means planting messages, they knew that the great jouney would continue but masterchief -non-forerunner- in the big ship must return to earth, even if it did mean masterchief going with it. you basicly go back in time. the gravemind also provides you with holy weaponry. it does rock but it has only limited ammo, after that, you must rely on what you find. you create the "covenant construct" to un-delay the launch sequence to get the prophet to earth to continue the great journey. also in a weird plot twist, you must kill yourself in the very end you die but the universe is saved!!
! rock on
