I think this is what it is all about. An ultimate twist, a cruel fate.
The Forerunners created the Flood and used it against the Precursors, wiping them out.
The Flood then evolved and turned on them.
Short, sweet, and to the point.
This is the act of barbarity described in Silentium.
Discuss.

I think they said it was the Precursors, not the Forerunners, if the Forerunners were the creators they would have known how to do defeat it, plus, in the book the Forerunners are extremely confused about the flood and how it works. [Edited on 08.30.2012 12:08 PM PDT]
