Though all Precursors were believed to have been eradicated, the [[Primordial]], who originally claimed to be the last Precursor, later stated that a number of Precursors survived by escaping beyond the Forerunners' reach.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 364''</ref> A few Precursors did indeed manage to survive the Forerunners' extermination efforts. They either went into suspended animation or became dust that would regenerate into their past forms when the time was right. However, time rendered the dust defective, and it only created sickness and disease. With this new form, (the earliest stage of the [[Flood]]), and embittered by the conflict with the Forerunners, the Precursors vowed that none of their creations would rise against them again.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 13''</ref> | Though all Precursors were believed to have been eradicated, the [[Primordial]], who originally claimed to be the last Precursor, later stated that a number of Precursors survived by escaping beyond the Forerunners' reach.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 364''</ref> A few Precursors did indeed manage to survive the Forerunners' extermination efforts.

During her expedition to [[Path Kethona]], the [[Librarian]] discovered seeds left behind by peaceful Precursors that had eventually died. Secretly taking the seeds with her back to [[Bastion]], the Librarian began a plan to ensure the rebirth of the Precursor race on a world outside of the Milky Way galaxy where they would be able to thrive and grow without outside interference. In [[2558]], with the help of [[Rion Forge]] and [[343 Guilty Spark]], the Librarian's plan was put into motion.{{Ref/Novel|PoL}} | |||
In [[2559#November|November 2559]], the UNSC and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] sought the Precursor weapon on [[Netherop]], hoping to use it to destroy [[Cortana]]'s [[Guardian]]s. After realizing the true nature of the weapon's creators and seeing its power for themselves, the two sides decided that it was just too dangerous to use. While on Netherop, [[Rosa Fuertes]] encountered the Precursor fugitives, still alive and in hiding on the planet, who cured Rosa's prion disease after she promised to keep their secret and to ensure that everyone else left as well. It's unclear if the Precursors remained on Netherop as well or if they left with Rosa who sensed that they were still with her after Rosa's encounter with the Precursor survivors.{{Ref/Novel|Out}} | |||
