While i read something on the Halo Wikia, this Article got me thinking:
The Prisoner of Charum Hakkor, also known as The Timeless One, The Captive or The Primordial was an individual of great power detained on Charum Hakkor. Unbeknownst to most of the galaxy, this individual was thought to be the last living Precursor. However, it has now been revealed that this creature is actually a gravemind.
The creature was discovered on a small planetoid on the distant edge of the galaxy by a Human researcher, named Yprin Yprikushma, who had excavated the planetoid and exposed the ancient capsule that contained The Primordial in viscous hibernation. Yprin recognised the Primordial as an important and ancient Biological artifact, and transported it to Charum Hakkor for further research. Despite the advanced nature of Precursor technology, the humans managed to find a way to communicate with the captive for brief periods of time. They came to regard the creature within the cell as an oracle of sorts, asking it questions in the hopes of gaining greater understanding. Most of the time, the prisoner's answers were confused or unintelligible. When the Flood first made an appearance in the Milky Way, several humans questioned the prisoner as to the nature and origin of the "disease". When the prisoner gave them an answer, the humans present were so deeply horrified that many of them committed suicide. Following the end of the Human-Forerunner wars, the Didact and a group of Prometheans gained access to the Prisoner. It told the Didact that it was the last Precursor, and that the Forerunners had rebelled against the Precursors. The Didact told none of this to any, save the Librarian. When 05-032 Mendicant Bias tested a Halo in the Charum Hakkor system, the Halo's energies shattered every Precursor structure on the planet, freeing the prisoner. Realizing what he had uncovered, the Master Builder had the prisoner taken to Installation 07 so that it could be interrogated by Mendicant Bias. At some point during the long interrogation, the prisoner convinced Mendicant Bias to betray his masters. From this point on, he began conducting experiments on the Human and Forerunner occupants of Installation 07, consisting of infecting individuals with the "Shaping Sickess", known more commonly as The Flood. At the end of Halo: Primordium, it is revealed that the prisoner is actually a Gravemind, re-inforcing the established canon concerning Mendicant Bias' betrayal of the Forerunners. In the ending of Primordium the prisoner was killed by the Didact using a Reverse Timelock.(Source: halo.wikia.com/Prisoner of Charum Hakkor)
Maybe the Flood are merely an unfinished or not fully evolved form of the Precursors.
Bam. New Halo trilogy solved.
Or is it?
