:Providing a look back, and for anyone who is curious: the final book in the Forerunner trilogy confirms that, yes, the Forerunners rose up and destroyed (nearly) the Precursors; however, the reasoning is very much up in the air. --[[User:SNovah|SNovah]] ([[User talk:SNovah|talk]]) 01:10, 3 October 2013 (EDT) | :Providing a look back, and for anyone who is curious: the final book in the Forerunner trilogy confirms that, yes, the Forerunners rose up and destroyed (nearly) the Precursors; however, the reasoning is very much up in the air. --[[User:SNovah|SNovah]] ([[User talk:SNovah|talk]]) 01:10, 3 October 2013 (EDT) | ||
