Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.
The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Tell that to Parangosky. Forerunner tech is too good an opportunity to pass on.
Though I am curious as to why Forerunners are so hostile to us. Are they jealous that we were chosen instead of them to hold the mantle, and are keen to prove their right?
Mendicant Bias didn't seem to think so when he sent us to Requiem to serve as an example of his redemption. I think the Didact and Requiem really is an isolated situation - he's been corrupted somehow, either by the Precursors, the Flood or the Master Builder. Right now I'm leaning towards the Flood, in light of the synopsis for Silentium. Perhaps he managed to seal himself in a Cryptum once more to slow the infection, and we accidentally wake him up and allow it to take hold again.
MB's sent John to Requiem to help the Didact, and I imagine that will play into his absolution. That's how I'm seeing it so far, anyway.I'm sure you're right about the Didact (Ur) being an isolated threat, and that all Forerunner probably aren't evil (there are blue too), but why couldn't he be acting out of his own behalf? I'm saying this cause I'm not sure the going into Cryptum to slow the infection theory covers how he treated his infection, if he was infected to begin with (although Silencium hints heavily towards it). The synthetic Promethean thing is probably the answer to that; his Cryptum is even colour coded accordingly.
The Precursors could be involved though. Does the not all Precursors are Flood theory still stand, or was that ever the case?
EDIT: damn, I went off topic again...
