Which is exceedingly odd when you consider that the Flood also have a collective intelligence. It's like the Forerunner discovered some Bizzaro-world version of themselves. Maybe from another galaxy, maybe from a parallel universe. I don't think the Forerunner created the Flood, but this is such a strange trait to share.Admiral Whitcomb wrote:but i think the forerunners are organic, and have some collective intelligence, or were similar to each other in a way that an AI wouldnt tell them apart easily.
Or maybe--and this is really out there--maybe we humans are meant to have a collective intelligence. There are signs of it, in our instinctual ability to operate Forerunner stuff. A genetic memory of sorts. Maybe the Forerunner messed with our DNA and it's lying dormant in our genes somehow, waiting to be triggered.
