:Huh. That...actually looks like a good figure! I thought it was a mistake at first, and was about to post a huge rant explaining how it could be higher than 20 billion because of selection protocols etc., but the logic turns out to be sound. For 150 candidates, Halsey would need a minimum of 39 billion records to select from. Taking away the 23 billion casualty estimate by Cortana, that would leave 16 billion. That may not take the devastation of Earth into account, but it's a ''lot'' higher than the 200 million estimate from bestiarum. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[ | :Huh.

:Belief doesn't come into it. There is no confirmation of it as fact, therefore it doesn't belong there - I concur with the edit.

:There's not really that much that needs updating. What we know that's new is that the precursors sped up human and forerunner evolution and changed their DNA into a similar make-up. The Librarian was known to be capable of programming instincts into humans under her guardianship. Suffice to say that the precursors may have used the same technology millenia earlier to program the two species into rapid development. After the two species met, they clashed and humanity was forced to re-start from scratch (though the Librarian kept them somewhat civilised for a time). As the galaxy began dying due to the flood pandemic, the forerunners seem to have chosen their familiars as the successors of their mantle.-- [[User talk:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 15:51, 23 December 2010 (EST) | :There's not really that much that needs updating.

Why is hyperforce relevant enough to merge into this general article on humanity? I'd rather leave them as separate articles. Perhaps create a general page for Sports, with things like hyperforce, basketball, gravball, merged into that? In my dream, I am the star.

It seems like an incredibly important discovery finding Forerunner tech, and yet I can't find where exactly humanity first discovered Forerunner tech (or more accurately, "rediscovered"). Slipspace travel was invented in 2291, the first colony ships were unveiled in 2310, and the first wave of extra-solar colonization efforts was in 2362. At the earliest, humanity could have discovered Forerunner artifacts on extra-solar worlds as early as the 2310s.

At the earliest, humanity could have discovered Forerunner artifacts on extra-solar worlds as early as the 2310s. The [[Menachite portal complex]] on Reach could have been discovered relatively early on since titanium mining was a major aspect of Reach's colonization, so not long after 2362. Arcadia, which had exposed Forerunner structures in close proximity to human settlements, was colonized in 2429. This would be the upper bound for Forerunner discovery, and also the point by which the general human population would have been aware of the existence of alien civilizations.--File:PENGUIN4.gif|15px]]''[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-family:Verdana">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Penguin</span>]]<sup><small>([[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:gray">ice quack!</span>]])''</small></sup> 17:50, 28 February 2016 (EST) | ||
