Humans Are Forerunner
Posted By: Joseph:Chaos <dalheero@earthlink.net>Date: 7/16/03 10:31 a.m.

Its seems funny how so many people have read the book and left out the most important thing.

Some believe that the Forerunner could have been mechanical, but thats not possible.
In the book Halo: The Flood, The covenant Elites talk about how they don't believe that a human(Master Chief)could have killed so many Covenant and that they could never improve upon the shields of the elites and jackals, since the Forerunner left it to them, and it seems as if they hold the Forerunner as if they are Gods. The only contradiction to the fact that the Forerunner left it to the Covenant is the fact that also in the book, Master Chief has what Cortana calls a magic touch. He just seemingly is drawn to how to use the equipment. Also in the book and game you see a downed ODST or marine as the gamers know of them. Well anyway, you never see any Covenant dead on the ground. Also I really don't believe the Covenant are the Forerunners ancestors since the 343 Guilty Spark says that he believes the other species is responsible for the breach of the flood. Well it seems that a robot would not forget that the Covenant were the ones who were the forerunner, but it seems that almost instantly after seeing the Master Chief he calls him reclaimer. He knew the human species. He knew that they were related to the Forerunner. It just seems that the covenant might be the ones because they have the armour. It doesn't mean anything all it means is that they found the Forerunners stuff first. Nothing More and Nothing Less.

Further Up in my rant I spoke of how the Covenant believed no human could add to the gifts the Forerunner gave them. That’s the reason you see all that writing. They believe the Covenant left it to them. Also another thing the book tells us (Halo: The Fall of Reach) is that the Humans believe the Covenant aren’t a race of creators, but instead they take other races technologies and add it to their own.

Some people are saying that the Forerunner could have been enemies with the Covenant. I don’t believe this because the Covenant act like the Forerunner are Gods. They wouldn’t fight their own Gods.

When I think about it though I believe more and more that humans are just Forerunner who have evolved. If you look at the humans of today, and the ones of yesterday you see that we have gotten smaller. Which is why the elites armour is meant for a larger species. The elites just happened to be about the right size to the armour. More to support my theory is the fact that he distinctly says that he is glad to finally have their lost history. What people miss is the word “their”.
It doesn’t seem like much, but when you think about it their most likely means the people present, I.E. the Master Chief.

If I leave any impression though, I believe that the Forerunner are in part humans. The elites just happen to have found the equipment first. This equipment is the Forerunners and was most likely left behind for the humans. 343 GS does not know the Covenant, but he does know the humans and in fact believes them to be part of the Forerunner since he calls him reclaimer. Unless the forerunner decided to hire a Mercenary.

The Covenant only speak English because they learned it. Its in the book. They hate speaking English as mentioned at book 2.

The Prophets are brutal and have no respect for anything Sited in book 2 head of an elite cutoff. They probably started the war and said that it was holy.

Their ships also look alike because they received the equipment from the Forerunner.
