Why did the prehistoric humans not ask for help against the Flood?
So Humanity attacked and conquered other peaceful planets even Forerunner planets because they were fleeing for the Flood.
After a 1000 year during war that eventually was born between the Humans and the Forerunners, the Humans were simply exhausted.
The Forerunners almost exterminated the Humans and wanted to punish them etc... .
After the Humans were devolved, the Forerunners learned that the Humans weren't actually attacking the Forerunners but fleeing from the parasite named the Flood.
It was simply an act of survival.
Now i wonder, how did i take a 1000 years to discover and understand the true nature of a war?
If forerunners themselves were such an (almost) enlightened species they could have easily discovered the true reason of the sudden Human hostility despite their rivalry.
-Couldn't the Humans just simply ask Forerunners to aid them in the battle against the Flood?
The Forerunners saw themselves as the Guardians of the known galaxy, so they should have helped if needed, they were forced to help.
-And even during the war that lasted 1000 years there must have been any trace of the Flood?
-How many conversations can there be in a millenium?
-How many interrogations during the war has there been?
If i were a Forerunner and i would capture a Human, i would at first ask on which argument they attack.
Or when Humans cleansed the surfaces of the Forerunner shield worlds, i as a Forerunner would simply ask why and then the Humans could have told about the parasite.
No the Forerunners just reacted with a full scale armada.

I'll just leave this here before someone further abuses what's written in the Halo 3 Terminals: Example of the time it takes the parasite to [i]flood[/i] a planet with similar population, during the early stages of the conflict: [quote][i]"Observed extensive ground action on [LP 656 - 38 e]. 9,045 survivors barricaded within central goverment building. Structure's defenses inadequate to withstand extended siege by enemy ground forces (ca 1,572,034,315+). Estimated position overrun in [173 hours] 846 smaller groups in less defensible structures; global distrubution corresponding to [probability model zeta]. Estimated local position overrun in [9 hours] (average)."[/i][/quote]And...[quote][i]"Observed extensive ground action on [OM - 3 - 1123 b]. Enemy forces lacked basic unit cohesion but quickly gained numerical superiority. [32 hours] after enemy landfall 83% of local naval forces advocated total [destruction of the biosphere] following the evacuation of populated centers. Enemy losses were total. Estimated number of citizens evacuated before commencement of orbital blanket bombardment: 1,318,797 civilian / 43,669 military (.0006% of total population)."[/i][/quote] ~ both from the Halo 3 Terminals. [b]Note, I've written [i]ca[/i] instead of its sign since it is an extended character.[/b] It doesn't take seconds, or minutes, it hardly takes hours. The Humans did have time to wait; the parasite hadn't spread over more than what they considered to be a [i]"remote local"[/i]. The whole "one single spore" thing has been blown out of proportion. Even the Elites had the equipment and means to allow the Master Chief to board the carrier and rescue Cortana (or so they thought), and that was in the midst of another war. The following paragraphs should be seen as a guideline of how powerful the flood is; what kind of danger it inhabits: what initiated the two above events:[quote][i]"Observed local naval forces engage enemy irregular group near [OM - 3 - 1123]. Enemy group consisted of 149 commercial shipping vessels, passenger ferries, and private recreational vessels from neighboring system. Enemy losses were total. No damage was sustained by local naval vessels. However, it was immediately apparent that the enemy group sought only to enter [OM - 3 - 1123 b's] atmosphere and make landfall. In this they were partially successful."[/i][/quote] ~ Halo 3 Terminal Hubris and denial are who different things. This particular event is conrived and ill defined. If you don't think it's ridiculous that the Forerunner never witnessed the Flood during the human empire's conflict with it, I don't know what to say. Furthermore, here are a couple of possible ways humans could be taken seriously by the Forerunner: -They have a live Precursor in a time-lock! -They're allied with the San 'Shyuum, who could negotiate with the Forerunners.

Thought it might be more fun for some to watch a video instead of stale text. :) [url=http://halo.wikibruce.com/Server_03#Server_03]IRIS SERVERS[/url], [url=http://halo.wikibruce.com/070620-Server05-Log5]ONE[/url], [url=http://halo.wikibruce.com/070710-Server02-Log2]TWO[/url], [url=http://halo.wikibruce.com/070726-Server03-Log3]THREE[/url], [url=http://halo.wikibruce.com/070809-Server04-Log4]FOUR[/url], [url=http://halo.wikibruce.com/070620-Server05-Log5]FIVE[/url].
