Though the morrow may be barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.

Alright, I have a question. Why is it that after the Halos fired that the Forerunners weren't reseeded? Or was it that they were, but somewhere unknown?

I am alpha, i am omega.

I am the last of the primes.

I think the forerunners didn't think themselves worthy enough to be given a second chance, after all they did fail the mantle...

They went on a Great Journey, with only the Didact staying behind to fight the Flood and remain guardian of the mantle (and possibly the Librarian and Bornstellar-Didact.)

So their pride kept them from saving their own species?

I always thought "The Great Journey" was what Forerunner called death. It makes sense, Truth wanted to light the rings to go on this journey, and the only thing after the Halo array firing is death.

No, "great journey" with regards to the Forerunners was literally them leaving on a journey into exile. The Covies misinterpreted the phrase as an ascension to the divine.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

They were probably too busy to save everyone else from the Flood but maybe they thought they failed because they were going to do the one thing the Mantle apposed... no one knows.

Why? Because they felt unworthy. They kept going on and on about the mantle and how they were the protectors of all living things but in the end they had to kill everything in order to save the galaxy.
