They were rediscovered by the crew of the ''[[Audacity]]'', led by the [[Librarian]], circa [[100,950 BCE]]. The initial exploration party consisted of the Librarian and [[Chant-to-Green]], with [[Clearance-of-Old-Forests]] of staying behind with the [[Seeker (vehicle)|seekers]]. As the Librarian was the only one without [[Forerunner personal armor|armor]] to enter the Forerunner village, she got bitten by a local elder known as [[Glow-of-Old-Suns]], after which Clearance immediately retrieved them. Thanks to the microbes transmitted by Glow-of-Old-Suns' bite, the Librarian began to learn the locals' language and gain a more intimate understanding of their way of thinking. | They were rediscovered by the crew of the ''[[Audacity]]'', led by the [[Librarian]], circa [[100,950 BCE]].

The Librarian, Chant and Clearance continued the following day with another exploration to the town. Due to the Librarian being able to understand the locals' speech she, together with Glow, traveled to a canyon where the ancient memories of the Forerunners that first arrived were stored. Here the Librarian spent several days interpreting the carvings created by mosses and the spores she inhaled. After this last exploration, Glow was taken back to the town and the crew of the ''Audacity'' departed Path Kethona. This was likely the last interaction the Milky Way Forerunners had with them.<ref name="Halo: Silentium" | The Librarian, Chant and Clearance continued the following day with another exploration to the town.

During the final stages of the [[Battle of the greater Ark]], [[Omega Halo]] was fired in an attempt to stop the advance of the Precursor [[star road]]s. While decimating a small portion of the star roads, the blast also purged the satellite galaxy of all sentient life, while the star roads ended up destroying Omega Halo and the greater Ark anyway. Thus it is highly probable that the Path Kethona Forerunners were annihilated by the Halo blast and since it is not known if any of them were indexed or taken back with the Librarian, the subspecies has been rendered effectively [[extinction|extinct]].<ref name="sil273">'''Halo Silentium''', ''page 273'': ''"The multidimensional radiation field stretches out, as designed, to Path Kethona.

This species were most like the original Forerunners they separated from ten million years prior to being found by the [[Librarian]]. Their physiological changes were most likely caused by natural evolution, adapting to more simple forms to suit a simpler way of life. The obvious differences with the types of Forerunners in the Milky Way is that they had five digits on their hands and toes, whereas modern Forerunners had varying numbers of digits based on their rate and form. They had gray, [[human]]-like teeth, apparently in contrast to Milky Way Forerunners. The nose was still classically Forerunner, but their fur patterns were more expressed. On average, they were two-thirds the height and mass of a [[Manipular]], being 1.5 meters tall. Their build was broad-shouldered, as well as a broad midriff, thick legs, and short arms with long, curly fingers. They also ate meat, in contrast to the mainstream Forerunners. Their reproductive system was different from that of modern Forerunners, and due to their complete absence of [[Forerunner mutation|artificially-induced]] [[rate]]s and [[form]]s, their sexual dimorphism was less conspicuous.<ref name="Halo: | This species were most like the original Forerunners they separated from ten million years prior to being found by the [[Librarian]].
