The Forerunners, also known as
Bastards that started all of this crap, are a mysterious and extremely suicidal race in the Halo Universe. They ran around the galaxy with giant, fast, world-destroying ships and when they found
Aids, the only possible threat, they ran back and cried under their covers. Then, they decided that they didn't want to fight, but since
Aids wouldn't leave them alone, they decided to commit suicide and take the entire galaxy with them. So they made giant hula hoops that fired a super-Über-unbelievably-yougottabekiddingmeomgwhoa-powerful ray of awesome
Gruntiness that destroyed all life. Of course, one of the Forerunners didn't want to get everybody killed, so she went and built another installation-thingy outside the galaxy and put a whole bunch of races on it, including
Humans and the
Covenant. Man, why didn't she just save us and forget the Covenant?!? And even though we are the special ones the Covenant has all of their technology and now we must kill the Covenant and their superior weaponry. Thanks, you mother-f***** bast****, you want us to save the universe, yet you give them the technology. They were also found alive, gambling on which side would win the Human-Covenant War (psst...you can get 10:1 odds on the
Humans).
It is believed that the Forerunners reason for building the ringy-thingys was mostly because they were bored. They existed such a long time ago that no other race was alive yet. Except AIDS.
(SECRET: actally um.... masterchief is one of them......of the forerunners.)
In conclusion Foreunners are emos who commit suicide instead of get aids,its stupid they can make big ass all pwning-kick-ass-nasty-Uber-death-laser shooting hula hoops, but they can't step on popcorn can they???
imagine the forerunners as a twinkie(ummmmm! twinkies). the dry outside is the culture and language giventothe covanent and the creamy inside as the genes of the forerunners to us. sweet
The super death laser thingy migigs are call hula hoops. They are the sucidal machines that will destroy all the stupid forunners. They are made of the same material condoms are made of. And when the for-runners realised there was one too many threats they decided to activate it. This shot smaller hula hoops which blew up into small (very small) condoms. Which fits perfectly under the for-runners wing wang and the AIDS wing dang doodle. So with all the indestructable small condoms the race eventaully died out but some guy didn't want this and had unpretected sex with there cousin which made mutated races known as humans convenant and other animals.
