[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Luffy_299 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ashtarh1 In Halo 4 the Prometheans are the enemy, Not the forerunners themselves, the Prometheans are AI machines created by the Forerunners so they must have survived the halo rings I think [/quote] The Prometheans arent AI, they are high ranking Forerunner Warrior-Servants. They have made some specific AI defence systems tho. If i recall correctly, the Didact was on Ibstallation 04 when the Halos fired, and the Forerunner didnt get to the Shield Worlds because Mendicant Bias showed their locations to the Gravemind.[/quote] The automatons on requiem are called "Prometheans" and were probably composed forerunners that got infected by the flood but still wanted to serve. I love how people say-things without sources or support and then carry them as facts. We don't have confirmation on where the Didact activated the rings though 04 seems most likely due to the circumstances of the activation and 343's lines. Noting was ever said or implied that Bias told the locations of the shield worlds to the flood. I don't understand how you can see [b]one[/b] infected shield world and come to that conclusion when we have [b]two[/b] that were untouched. That shield world was probably overrun,sold out (as you say), or the sight of a battle since MB said he was destroyed in the upper atmosphere of a planet.
