[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DecepticonCobra I have to agree with the others who say the Forerunners wouldn't have likely given humanity any help or believed them. When Charum Hakkor fell, Yprin Yprikushma tried to warn them about the words of the Primordial and the Flood. Sure the question of "Why not tell them earlier?" pops up, but the Forerunners were xenophobic and did not hold humanity in high regard anyway. Would humans be believed anyway?[/quote] Exactly, they've sporadically squabbled against each other over thousands of years of history and, just as the Forerunners, the hubristic leaders of the galaxy, are about to win, they get a warning from their enemy. They must have just looked at it and laughed, thinking it a desperate plea for peace because they were losing - like someone who abandons a Halo Wars match when he realises you've got an army he can't counter in time.
