If the Precursors are capable of trans-galactic travel, then would there be a possibility that they are still alive?
If the Precursors are capable of trans-galactic travel, then would there be a possibility that they are still alive?
heeeeey, I remember this :).
Btw I figured out the answer, to think that the forerunner ships can keep up with the precursor ships well enough to wipe them all out is like a human thinking he can keep up with a buss, on foot. In a speed limit 85mph zone. But it is possible that the flood killed the extra galactic precursors. That would be the most ironic thing in the universe.
The Precursors wanted the forerunners to 'destroy' them but they extincted the forerunners with the flood.
Hello :) nice forerunner armor.
i read somewhere that some of the precursors fled to a large gas cloud outside of galaxy
Given:-The Precursors were infinitely more advanced than the Forerunners-The Precursors were essentially immortal-The Precursors and the flood are one and the same This seems to be some pinnacle paradox of Halo lore in that the Forerunners were able to cause the near extinction of their god-like creators, whose technology was tied to the very fabric of space, but they were unable to defeat a tather primitive(questinable given its evolutionary tree and abilities) parasite? One can say that the Precursors simply marveled at the power of the Forerunners.Which then makes me think that the Precursors are far from gone, but letting the Forerunners"destroy" them was the part of the test that showed the aggressive capabilities of their candidates for the Mantle. Which then leads to another Theory, the structure of the Precursor's test: Section 1: The Evolutionary AbilitiesThis records the effectiveness of a species's ability to adapt during environmental changes.The ability for a species to adapt is crucial for holding the Mantle, as there can be drastic Galactic changes that may occur.Example:Real time: (The Andromeda Galaxy eventually merging with the Milky Way). Section 2: The Aggressive CapabilitiesThis is used to show how effective a species when dealing with an act of engagement. The ideal expectation for the Mantle is a species that will refer to peaceful means but will use effective force as a last resort. (The Forerunners failed this particular test when they brutally drove the Precursors from the Galaxy). Section 3: The Core Ambitions of a SpeciesIn order to effectively wield the Mantle of Responsibility, a species must always put the well being of other races above their own. The most common way of failing this section is corruption from seeing the sheer amount of power the Mantle holds. Power corrupts, that's what perhaps the Precursors look for specifically here. Most species revolve around personal gain, and that has no place in the Mantle. Section 4: The FloodThe final and most difficult test of the Mantle is the Flood. This is used to show the complete effectiveness the candidate has when in power, it will be the ultimate challenge that will result in either victory and the rise to godhood, or complete destruction and inconvenience for the Precursors because now they have to literately rebuild the Galaxy again. The Flood itself is executed based on the results on all of the previous stages. Based on the success on each individual stage, the ability to defeat the Flood will vary. The Forerunners took the Aggression Stage to an extreme, they drove the Precursors from the Galaxy and continued to put down any other races that defied them. When the Flood arrived, they lacked the effective support from other races that they could have had if they ruled peacefully. In retrospect, this can be tied to the lore of Mass Effect, in which the Precurors/Flood are the Reapers and the Forerunners are the Prothean Empire.
