This theory is linked to Other Human Empires Among the Stars? thus, in order to understand this you must read that.

As I have shown in the other thread Only Humans from Erda were given Gea composed of Ancient Man. That is the Reason they were not permitted to any installation for fear of the Gea taking revenge. This is a critical element.

In Primordium Chakas was able to control a halo without any type of genetic modifications. In fact, there were several pairs of Human-Forerunners all interacting together with the Halos Controls. While doing so Chakas feels a rush of knowledge and here he comments



It has been constantly brought up and hinted at in the novels that the forerunners and humans share a genetic linkage and through that link the Humans are allowed to use forerunner technology if not to a greater degree to other races.

Lets rewind to contact harvest pages 274-276 where the prophets are questioning Medicant Bias about the Harvest glyphs.




The Humans from Harvest are the same stock from earth thus they still have Gea deep within them though ever present. Medicant bias knows full well who his creators are as is evident in the terminals, so why say humans made him? As evident in primordium Forerunners can plant their own Gea into humans due to our relation. Thus their is a mix in Gea populations of Ancient Man and Forerunners. This might also be why Some machines call people Forerunners/reclaimer/Humans; Depending on if they have a Gea and if so what kind.



This is all simple. The Humans from Erda are Reclaimers because they have the Gea of ancient man whose is meant to reclaim what was wrongfully taken from them by the forerunners. This is why the forerunners left this arm of the galaxy so their wouldn't be any further conflicts



I love how their is "Including the humans on Earth" it seems like they are pointing that out specifically. Though that is for my other thread not this one.



The other Reclaimer ideas about technology being re-purposed and all that other jazz never added up anyway and i have been stressing that on bungie since cryptum. You cannot Reclaim something that was never yours not to mention it would be impossible to reprogram every single little piece of technology. So as i have said it is just a clear and simple answer, hopefully you enjoy this.

Thanks It took about a week of getting things together and having people check it.

Alright i'll fix that in a bit.

That isn't my main reasoning as a had a thread speaking about how humans and forerunners both had events within their system 50,000 years ago. The humans aren't sure where their homeworld is and "To the best of forerunner knowledge" it is Erda. That was more of a food for thought suggestion than something definitive. I brought up the light year reference because that is far too close to the forerunner who would have found the early humans and enslaved them sooner if Erda is the place of origin.

I have long and elaborated works on that subject that i just didn't include because they aren't entirely relevant. and i don't want people getting stuck on that then the actual topic. If that ends up happening i'll probably delete those sections.


The humans were clearly resettled on other worlds since they were brought from other worlds with Erda being the last. Seeing how humans are composed of several races you would be destroying cultures if you only focused on one race (which was brought up in primordium).

And it was said in Cryptum that the system the San Shyuum Live in is not their native system, they were relocated their.

Both books both races question it, Cryptum it is question by the Forerunners wether or not Erda is the native planet. And even Yprin says it is most likely Erda. The fact that Forthencho says he seen other worlds that would be more likely means more than just he is unsure. It was never stated as a positively known thing from any of the characters in either of the books.

Deva it is good to see you finally moving from B.net to here for halo goodness :)
