There is nothing in the servers that talks about the military tactic they employed to stop the Flood, it is pretty much basic reasoning of how they would try to kill the Flood with the Halo's.Maimbot 9000 wrote:One more time: if you cannot point to something specific within the IRIS game that is telling us this happened, it does not belong in this thread.

"Love" is a strong word and does not, in my mind, accurately describe the situation. Unless they "love" all the other races that survived extinction as well. Clearly we were somehow special or important to them. Calling that "love" seems hopelessly vague.
You might think love is a strong word, but think about how they reacted to finding humanity. They realized there was hope that they could stop the Flood AND preserver their culture within the humans. This was what someone would call "the turning point" in the Forerunner-Flood War. Luckily, they had time to make the Arc, preserving there place in the history of our species and in the universe. They definetely cherished that they could still live on after their species's death.
