    Personally after reading Halo: Outcasts, where we saw ruins of a civilization that was rapidly advanced by Precursors hiding from the Forerunners, and that back in the Forerunners age, the *CRITERIUM* came to Netherop to investigate is very interesting considering we hear of the Criterium in being involved in the Endless imprisonment heavily implies that the Netherop civilization and Xalanyn civilization are similar. How? I think they were both evolutionarily manipulated by Precursors.
    The Harbinger literally has the Reclaimer Symbol on her helmet and back armor! I believe that the Xalanyn are a new type of Reclaimer manipulated into this role by the Precursors.
    Even the physical form of the Xalanyn and Gasgira (Skimmers) has similarities to the Primordial itself! As the Primordial was described as having “mandible on their face, and two degenerative legs” so how do 2 separate species end up with the same physical traits?
    I think the Endless is a faction of several species that have been spliced with Precursor DNA. Like the Flood but much more “pure”
    This is why the Forerunners were terrified of them. If they let the Endless become holders of the Mantle, they could potentially infect all other species with Precursor Genetics, completely destroying the Forerunners efforts of freeing the Galaxy of them.
    So yeah, TL’DR: I believe the Xalanyn are new Reclaimers groomed by Precursors to take the Mantle from the Forerunners and spliced their Transsentient DNA into them. The Xalanyn did the same to other species, (Gasgira) forming the Endless faction.

      The Forerunners weren't trying to "free" the galaxy from the Precursors; they were jealous that Humanity had been chosen over them. The Forerunners simply wanted to rule. They were a power-hungry civilization with a god-complex, and it was completely unearned.

    There are so many references and parralels to the Precursors in the context of the Endless there’s literally no ways they aren’t connected.
    In an Audio Log, Harbinger says “I shall talk, and you shall listen.” A famous Gravemind quote.
    In the Halo 4 Terminals, the Ur-Didact talks about the Forerunners coming war with the Flood after defeating Humanity, and ends the monologue with the phrase “and we are afraid.”
    In the Halo Infinite Legendary Difficulty Depondent Pyre Logs, in entry seven, she speculates on the nature of the Endless and ends her monologue with “and I am afraid.”
    Lastly, during the Harbingers Boss Fight, she can say “We are Legion!” A reference to the Primordials words himself from the Forerunner Trilogy: "We are the last of those who gave you breath and form, millions of years ago. We are the last of those your kind defied and ruthlessly destroyed. We are the last Precursors. *And now we are legion."*
    The Harbinger literally has the exact same ability that the Primordial had to drive Humans mad with its mere words,
    Elite: How long has the human been this way, Chak?
    Chak 'Lok: A matter of days. It seems their feeble minds cannot contain the power of her words.
    Lucas Browning: Closed space... off limits... still there... they were still there...the only ones...
    'Lok: You should feel honored, human. The truth has apparently set you free!
    Browning: Price paid... sentence given... we never knew... so old... so far...
    Chak'Lok: Bring him to her chambers. She has more to tell him. If his mind can last...
    This is strikingly similar to the Ancient Humans who spoke to the Primordial being driven to madness and killing themselves!!

      Reading into it a little too deep. It's not a magical power, she just told the dude some really hard to hear truths. She just told Browning how the Forerunners imprisoned her species for nothing other than being the sole survivors of the Halo array firing. The whole point is that the forerunners aren't the benevolent actors people think them as.
      The similarities to the gravemind in the Original Trilogy are because the Xalanyn fill the same role that the Gravemind originally filled. Someone who bears a grudge against Humanity for the actions of the Forerunners, as the Forerunners' Chosen successor. Here's a problem with the whole Xalanyn and precursor connection theory. The Xalanyn hate humans while The precursors favored humans so much, The Flood of all things took measures to stop Humanity's extinction.

      @frylad 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think they'd be tier 1 because I don't remember any lore where they built something that could compete with some of the Forerunners accomplishments.
      Their Ascension is the only thing I can think of that would be tier 0 but with everything else I'd still rate them as Tier 1 on average.

  • @DanteYewToob

    Fun note about tier 4, I read a great short story years ago about earth in the very near future (the book was written in the 90s I think so tech was about what we have today.. reusable rockets, we were just going back to the moon and just experimenting with electric vehicles and clean energy. The few major differences were that nuclear energy is far more rare, planes were electric and we were regularly sending people to space for space tourism to luxury space stations) and basically humanity meets a space council who sends envoys here.. when the governments insist on private talks, they decline and broadcast the talks to the world on their own. Basically they say “Dude… wtf.” They sent a peaceful probe to earth, with messages in our languages and it was shot down and humanity started moving guns into orbit. They basically said, we’ve proven that we’re too violent and they’ve been watching us for a long time. Most races discover nuclear power and quickly come to peace and advance very quickly and we turned it into weapons which is apparently really rare. They mentioned how slow our development was from the industrial revolution to current day, most races surpass us by decades with their technology far surpassing ours in much less time because they work together, don’t hide behind patents or keep advancements because of greed.
    Essentially they just spank humanity and say, “get your shit together and maybe you can join us.” and show us some examples of their wonderful technology. They leave a few examples of it freely for curing diseases and helping with food and immediately the governments all fight over it. World war three starts and the short story jumps forward in time to a few decades later where humanity basically blames the aliens for being assholes and finally humanity works together to get into space and kick some alien ass.
    Violence destroyed us, but violence brought us together. Hahaha
    That bit about the brutes reminded me of that short story. It’s so similar!
    The short is a bit preachy but it’s actually really interesting… it brings up great points about how we’re so greedy that we patent everything including art, stories, and ideas… that does cause so much stagnation and I wonder how much faster we would advance if companies and countries shared knowledge. I guarantee that big companies have some sort of technology or innovation that could be world changing but it’s not finished and could be if someone else helped.. maybe a guy in Japan has the exact idea to fix that issue and change the world, but it’s “classified” and just sitting in a warehouse. That makes me sad.

    Fun fact, in the Ace of Spades trilogy, it is revealed that ancient humans possibly surpassed the Forerunners, Spark provides evidence for this through Humans not only having technology that the Forerunners didn’t possess and didn’t understand, but also the fact that humans were capable of fighting against the forerunners and the flood successfully for 1000 years. They were likely a middle ground, not exactly same level as the precursors, but adapting precursor tech to aid them, putting them at like a Tier 0.5 instead of just Tier 1, as again, they had technology that the forerunners didn’t even comprehend according to Guilty Spark

    It’s funny whenever I hear about the Precursor’s beliefs because, my first semester in the honors college at University of Houston, I ended up basing my “final exam discussion” on the exact concept of, “the universe is all one living being, and we’re just a part of it.”
    Kinda hard to explain the format but basically we had to read a series of books and come up with a common theme among them then sit down with one of the professors and discuss it with them for 30 minutes. The books we read were from antiquity like certain sections of the Bible (reading it analytically, not religiously), and The Odyssey. No idea how I came to the conclusion, but I guess it had something to do with how connected things were across vast amounts of time and distance.
    Anyway, love the concept. I like the Precursors as a concept.
