Would it be theoritically possible rather destroying the flood as they are precusor but a corrupted form that they may some how be able to be reversed back into the original forms of precusors and become the good guys again :/—This unsigned comment was made by Spartan Matt (talk • contribs).

Firstly, you're assuming there aren't still original Precursors out there, biding their time. You're also assuming the Precursors were "good guys" in the first place. Everything we've seen of them (from the admittedly possibly biased Forerunner perspective) seems to show them as amoral geneticists who uplift species and then slap them down again when they fail to meet their arcane criteria. And even the Flood's agenda is an extension of the Precursors' ultimate motive - eradicating the Forerunners as a species for failing to live up to the Mantle. -- Qura 'Mo rhek ^{The Autocrat of Morheka} 19:26, 28 August 2014 (EDT)

The Forerunner view is totally biased. The Precursors favored the Humans, and the Forerunners got made. The Forerunners created the original flood dust (accidentally). The Mantle was not something Forerunners had to live up to because it wasn't theirs. The Forerunners attacked Humanity for being chosen and turned the Milky way into a bomb to undo ALL precursor work.—This unsigned comment was made by Sallan (talk • contribs).

The Forerunners pushed the Precursors to desperation, yes, but it's a bit much to blame them for the Flood. The Flood was part of the Precursors revenge plan against the Forerunners. And as for the Precursor's benevolence, there's always been a distinctly colonialist and sinister about technological uplift or a galactic mandate, whether it's Forerunner or Precursor. -- Qura 'Morhek ^{The Autocrat of Morheka} 21:24, 31 August 2014 (EDT)
