[b]SPOILERS MENTIONED IN THIS THREAD, READ CAREFULLY.[/b]
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDGH8iJsZFs]Apparently[/url], someone outside of the Milky Way fired two pods literally containing the Flood into Human-controlled space, giving us the ultimate weapon to kill the Forerunners.
Also, the prehistoric humans were allied with the prophets? Wat?!
Why haven't we been told this?
I'd like to know everything*, but I don't have the time to read the novels. Tell me.
*important plot events that the video games haven't mentioned

My gripe with the Forerunner trilogy is that too often it feels like the books will basically 100% confirm one theory or another but then they pull a 180° later on and say that some character was lying or something and that you, the reader, still don't know the facts.
