I have been reading the "Halo" books, i noticed something a little strange on page 237 of "The Flood" where master chief is first taken by 343 guilty spark into the libary i'll write what it says because explaining it will be a little hard.
---------------------------
The chief looked around. "So where am i?"
"The instalation was specifically built to study and contain the flood" the machine awnserd patiently. "their survival as a race depended on it. I am grateful to see that some of THEM survived to REPRODUCE"
"survived? reproduce? what the hell are you talking about?" the chief demanded.
--------------------------
Now if the forerunners built Halo, made the flood as well as 343 guilty spark and with 343 guilty spark useing the words "im grateful to see that some of them survived to reproduce" wouldnt this mean that humans are forerunner with master chief being a human and 343 guilty spark making the link between Master chief (Human) and the forerunner (Human?)

Im kinda still not sure on this so post your ideas on this, i also don;t know if this has been brought up be for or not..?

i dont know if that is proof, but it definitely suggests that forerunners are humans.

Actually as far as I know, and is what is most accepted, GS 313 was talking about the Flood. Though that's a good point, I don't believe he ever specifically says he was talking about the Flood.

It would be really interesting if he did indeed mean humans...good idea :)

Yeah it dose at least thats what i made of it, i know the books arent related to the "Games" storyline but still they still about the same story and thing. really the books or the game are just a whole differant part of it.

...And so the hero crawled through the fissure on the surface of Tyr. There, the lone Dwarf stared into the cold, dark eyes of Soulblighter...The fiend hefted his blade over his shoulder as a flock of raven took upon his form...

Plus 343 Guilty Spark does speak a human language

It's been controversial. Some think he means the Forerunner, some say he was referring to the Flood.

It would make more sense that he was referring to the Forerunner. As without the Halos, the Flood would spread and bring about ruin and destruction.

He could also be glad that the Flood survived to produce ample specimens under containment for research(research..by whom, is the question-supposedly the Forerunner died off). If he is referring to the Flood, then there's no doubt of another hidden purpose of Halo that the Flood have to be dependent on it to survive. From the Conversations of the Universe, it is implied by Prophet of Supposition whether the Flood had sanctuary on the Halo.

I don't know, it is feesable, but I mean why would 343 GS just change subjects. Useually you have to interupt him with another question for that, or he keeps talking about the same subject.

Commander Keyes: What's it doing?

343 Guilty Spark: Communicating; at super luminous speeds at a frequency of...

Commander Keyes: Communicating with what?

The best group for fan-fics ever made!
wanna be part of the Wrath?
arguments turn into battles and battles turn into wars,dismantle the arguments and everything is fine.

I think GS had a double meaning goin on there.

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

You didn't prove anything, you just proved that the flood survived to reproduce. Sorry but not much was proven.

"'Soon the Great Journey shall begin,' the Prophet of Truth continued, and its claws turned into fists. 'And let nothing in this universe impede our progress.'" Page 340, Halo First Strike Eric Nylund

I believe the Spartans are the Forerunners somehow the Spartans get sucked throught time and space (possibly a SLIPSPACE accident as to what happened in First Strike) and they in turn create the massive and intellectual remnants that were made by the so called Forerunners.

He wasnt reffering to the flood, he was reffering to master chief being a human.
