FROM: 117@cdc.org Except they didn't. We were escaping the Covenant fleet as they glassed my home planet and we ended up on an orbital ... ring. A Halo. They considered it to be holy, we tried to use it as a weapon as we were lead to believe.
FROM: 117@cdc.org The Forerunners didn't disappear. They used Halos to destroy their civilization to protect the galaxy from a parasite. Apparently, they thought it was a good idea to house the spores.
FROM: 117@cdc.org The Flood consumes organic tissue, it doesn't care what. They form into a hivemind and they want to consume everything. By me nuking that ring to destroy the local infestation, it started an arms race. The Covenant wanted to activate it for a "great journey" - killing more humans on Earth itself and bringing the Flood to Earth and we needed to stop them.
