The Forerunners,

Don't get me wrong guys I understand your thinking with this whole ring business. Let's face it, us humans don't exactly have room to talk as our ethos is pretty much 'if it looks like we might lose bomb the shit out of it' . There's a little place on earth called Nagasaki that's got a plague up with that written in Japanese.

I have just two queries:

why the hell didn't you come up with anything better?

What's with leaving it lying around the galaxy so any random dude could set it off?

With number 1, training for dealing with the flood UNSC style consisted of a six week zombie movie marathon so I think I know what I'm talking about. The human race is well prepared for any form of zombie apocalypse whether they involve, earth, space or simon pegg. And not in ONE of those movies, not even in Outbreak, (which lets be fair sucked worse than the Arbiter's Jay-Z impression) did they wipe out all existence. Mostly they just used lots of guns and stuff. Could you not have just done that? It's worked for me so far.

With number 2, the issue with leaving big shiny rings around the galaxy is that literally anyone can come and press a button and destroy all life as we know it. Half my marines think halo is a beyonce song, they could easily mistake the rings for some form of ancient ipod dock. The Covenant are convinced the rings remove all annoying adverts from your web browser, poor misguided fools. If I thought that was a remote possibility I'd chance at irradiating life and activate the rings myself. But I hope you get my point. It's a miracle they've been left alone for this long. Like a really big extremely massive miracle considering all the alien species that wanna get their hands on this technology in comparison to the limited amount of time humans have been space capable. Just saying.

Anyway. If you could answer my queries that would be great. I'm guessing probably not because you were killed by your own stupid rings. Again wouldn't have happened if you'd have just used guns. Oh yeah and why rings, what do you guys have against other shapes. A rhomboid would have been awesome. THE SACRED RHOMBOID.

Yours sincerely
