Ok here it is, i came to these conclusions just as i finished the First Strike book. It took a while but i finally hashed it out. HERE IT IS
Humans are the fourrunner. Reasons: In the book the fall of reach, Halsey hacks into the ONI database, more specifically a doctor Ackersons account, whom is against her spartan program. And in his files there is something that he knows about under the mountain bae of reach. This thing is a crystal ball. This ball warps spac and time, this ball warps slipspace and you can peer into other slipspaces with it. Halsey and her spartans find this ball. So why do the covys want this ball so bad, think about the speed and accurace they can jump systems in if they had it. So who wouldn't want it.Halsey gives an expenation on how the ball does what it does but its reall wierd.
Know you ask, how did this crystal get on reach? I have an answer for that. "Humans".!!! Ok think of this ball as a time machine, which it sorta is, humans in the future built the ring worlds. Ill answer why they built them a little later on. The only thing i dont understand about the rings are the flood. And 343 was obviously created to watch over the systems and their environments. The reason GUilty Spark calls chief the reclaimer is because in the futre there are spartans as well, albeit they look a little different. And i know there are spartans in the future b/c mendez was going off to train more of them, so who knows how many batches of spartans there are going to be created.
Then we humans used this time bending space bending ball to come back to the present years and we burried it deep inside of the reach complex, so know one could find it.
What about the funny looking writing everwhere on halo-> well that comes from an future human dialect. In First Strike cortona is placed in a database on a covy cruiser, soon after, she is trying to fiqure out how to understand the covenat writing, when she realizes that the covenat writing is just the same as the writing on halo just with a few dots or lines here and there. The writing found on halo can also be found on Sigma Octanus four. And this writing led halsey and her spartans to this ball, deep under the base mountain on reach, the writing was on the walls. The writing on Sigma octanus was found in another cyrstal that the covenat were using and sending its message to one of their ships in space just above the planet, the chief witnessed this. And cortona also realized that the writing on this crystal found on sigma octanus contained coordinates to reach, which is where the wierd ball was located. So humans from the future brought the ball back placed it under the base mountain on reach, using the futures writing and wrote on the walls how to find it, then they (humans from the future) went to sigma octanus and put these coordinates (WHICH WERE IN THIS FUTURE WAY OF WRITING) to find the ball on reach in a crystal and put it in a museum. Also while the covys were at sigma octanus they were guarding this museum very heavily. What you have to understand is that the covenat are followers not leaders, so im thinkin they came across this writing and modified it so they could use it. Thats why they can understand the severity and be able to lock doors and stuff on Halo.
It also could be that the humans from the future are actually pirates that survived the human covy war, these pirates were mentioned in the First strike book, they live in another system inside of an asteroid belt, and the future humans built these halo structures so that the human race could use it against the covenat before they wiped out humanity.
Also while i was typing this out i got another idea in my head, its sorta the same but backwards, instead of the humans being the forruners it would be the covenat. So in this idea the covenat in the future have this ball to zip around space extra quickly. They build these rings, and yes this funny writing is the covenats, but in the past, they did not get all the human colonies destroyed, and the humans are really kickin some covy butt, so the covys for safe keeping hide this ball in reaches base complex, and they write about this, thats where the profits come from, they are from the past and cant get the ball b/c its on a human inhabitet world, so how do you get it, you kill every one of the humans, so they dont iterfere.And the prophets are controlling all of the covys actions cause they konw what to do, since the prophets are the ones who came from the future and hid the ball for later use. So this time the covys are making sure they kill every human, so they dont get in the way again, like in the future. That would explain all the writing looking like covenat writing, and thats how they know where everything is, meaning sigma octanus and the base on reach, they knew to look there, cause there the ones who hid it there, and the great ones that the covys keep talkin about are actually the covenats in the future. Which are sorta like gods to them.
One of the people who gets off of halo blows up this space ball, and its floating in space,and another thing, at the very end of First strike something wierd happens, the covenat start looking for this ball somewhere out there in space and at the end of the book a brute comes and talks to a prophet, well the prophet opens the little box containg three little pieces of this magic ball the instant he opens the box, everything in the room starts to shift and the prophet has to stabilize himself, but its not that that has me thinking, what he says next intriques me, he says, He looks at the bruit and says "It may yet be enough for our purpses...and one more relic from the Great Ones, as precious as they are, will soon make no difference to us." "Make sure those pilots who survived are well rewarded. Then execute them all. Quietly. Quickly." Know why in the hell would you want to kill your pilots, hes talkin about the ones that flew the missions to find these pieces.
Then he says "Soon the great journey shall begin, and let nothing in this universe impede our progress"
So there you have it. my theory, im sure theres something im forgettin but you get the idea.
