Talk:Forerunner

Confirmed Aliens?
If anyone is following the Iris ARG, it clearly states in Episode 5 that the Forerunners found Earth and thought that the native species (us) was very interesting. This seems to say that the Forerunners have nothing to do with Humans genetically, as they discovered us near the end of the war with the Flood. Thus they built the Ark to save us from the activation of the Halo's. This means that for some reason the Forerunners thought we had some sort of untapped power or trait that made us important. Of course since this is from the ARG it could be slightly different than the actual game story arc, but I doubt it.ArchonGold 22:51, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I was readings a statment made by bungie them self that I quote  'The Forerunner are not yet confimed aliens'  and if I know how companies work, then that means they are maybe I don't know but I think that the Foreruner are a race of humans or human like race that was the oldest race and they were very intellegent. -- 62.254.32.23 Dec 19, 23:06


 * I agree. This is like Doctor Who. I mean the Timelords evolved into what they are now in the show. And all life followed the same course. i.e. The Greatest species in that area. will affect others. Even dumber... if the Forerunners were Like humans (looked like us a lot like aliens do in Star Trek) then they would leave a print in the dna strand thing. so that Humans would evolve into a similar ifeform. Trust me... it is in Doctor Who. And Star Trek if your in the US. -- Forerunner December 20, 16:11 (UTC)

Hmmm, leaving D.N.A. in humans, sounds like Destroy All Humans to me.--prophit of war 15:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with this, the Forerunners messed with human DNA to allow them to easily work their technology.

No, the Forerunner called 'Librarian' terraformed the Earth into a paradise, before that it was barren. Not exactly a nice habitat for humans. Humans have also been confirmed as the descendants of the Forerunners by the Prophet of Truth and 04-343 Guilty Spark - this time in a coherent way and not some rambling.

The Forerunners did not infuse humans with DNA, they didn't even pass on their knowledge, as they sought to 'leave' the universe. Taken from the terminal #2 fragment:

Didact: "There are no unstoppable forces in this universe. There are no immovable objects. Everything gives if you push hard enough."

Librarian: "And what about us, Didact? We've been irresistible and immovable for too long. Maybe it's our turn to give."

Librarian terraformed the Earth into paradise for the returning Forerunners after the Flood. Basically it's the story of Noah's Ark retold: indexing, everyone on board the Ark, Flood happens, after Flood a beautiful landscape is revealed.

The reason the monitors call the humans 'Reclaimers' is simply because they don't know any better. They just think their masters have returned. --SirSmokeal0t 18:51, 28 September 2007

Yeah, but couldn't the Forerunners be the evolved form of humanity, that lived on another planet? And that, because they evolved so quickly, they didn't realize that they were once homo sapians, except for a few, who decided to save the race so they would evolve? This could also explain why only a few were chosen to activate the rings, as they would be the first to start to evolve. I don't know if this contracts anything, as I kind of gave up on Iris (out of laziness). -- The Gamer 13 5:19 PM ET, 2 October 2007

Errors
I just made an account here, so Im not really sure how to do this or if I am messing anything up. I just changed a reference to 343 Guilty Spark in Halo 2. I do believe PT was the moniter who made that statement. I could be wrong.

And to whoever posted that History Circles Back on us thing there, about victory with the ar symbol, that went to everyone registered for xbox flash. You can register on xbox.com. It was not neccesitated by buying a halo3 product.

still not sure how to sign my name....

New Theory
Ok maybe not a theory on who they are but some more evidence to them being near human. I just remembered that the dominent genetic trait for the number of fingers and toes on a human is to have 6-fingers/toes, not five, and by the picture, a forerunner hand has 6 fingers. --Lt.O&#39;Brien 14:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC) I have 6 fingers, are you calling me Forerunner????

Humans have 5 fingers: 5 is dominant. GODDDDD!69.162.222.113 00:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily, after all the genetic trait that control the development of the bones in a good way is recessive, the one that make the bones growing deformed is the dominant one, so its possible that the 6 fingers one is the dominant 66.158.134.50 17:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Was I correct?
I changed the 'Known History' section to the following. 'In the second game, Halo 2, 2401 Penitent Tangent explains that after exhausting every other strategic option in their struggle against The Flood, ' Someone had it as 343 guilty spark. I am sure however that it was in fact 2401 penitent tangent.


 * Nope, It was most Holy Oracle, 343 Guilty Spark. --Gzalzi 16:09, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was in the last cutscene in Halo 2 before fighting Tartarus. -ED 16:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * He must have got it mixed up with the scene when 2401., has an argument with the prophet of regret-- 12/48 20/2/07

I'm putting this here because I feel that The Forerunner glyphs need to be changed as all glyphs we've seen the Covenant was there first and could have put them there.-- MCDBBlits 21:35, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Something Wierd
On the same link u get to if your on 200,0000 BCE or watever the page is called. It links to a page that shows the meaning of some of the forerunner writings mainly the blue and red, but it shines alot of light on what those writings mean... Try Here -- 12/48 20/2/07

Spoiler Warning
Would someone place spoiler warnings around the conjecture of forerunner background. It's very likely this will be pivotal to halo 3 as it completes the story arc, and some of the theories are rather plausible.zudduz 17:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

History Circling Back upon Us
"The gears of the universe spin further and further apart. Ever greater grows the gulf between souls, And distance gives false hope of safety But for the grim tidings this messenger brings:

The enemy is almost upon us

closing in from all sides, Moving faster than the light it snuffs with its passage, Time echoes with the news of destruction. History winding back upon itself.

Waves of an army march its way in unison, Suffering and corruption are its battle cries. For i have known this darkness and felt its embrace once before- Horror best laid to rest

Yet a Journey must commence

Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame. They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory."

This is what people who pre-order the halo 3 themed Xbox 360 controllers get in the e-mail, apparently. there's also a picture of a Forerunner symbol next to it, leaving me in no doubt its not for Gears of War. The forum-goers of HBO have dubbed it the "Forerunner E-Mail." Make of this what you will...

Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 20:45, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Very interesting... I have no idea what it means. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 21:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey, I got it from my Xbox.com subscription, but I didn't order the special controllers. Here's something though, AdjutantReflex's avatar is the same symbol as in the email. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 00:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

"The gears of the universe spin further and further apart."

This may be a reference to the fact that humanity once that that the univesre was close and they were the most powerful force in the galaxy. But that changed and the power shifted to the coveneant.

"Ever greater grows the gulf between souls, And distance gives false hope of safety"

I think this is refering to the fact that humanity is falling apart and breaking from power that it once held. so with out that power Safety is gone for most of the inner colonies.

The enemy is almost upon us

closing in from all sides, Moving faster than the light it snuffs with its passage

They are almost upon us is a refence to the fact that most human colonies are glassed. Same for the next line. "it snuffs with its passage" may be talking about how when the covenant pass through a system they destroy it. so when the coveant comptetes its passage, the planet is snuffed.

Waves of an army march its way in unison, Suffering and corruption are its battle cries. For i have known this darkness and felt its embrace once before- Horror best laid to rest

Yet a Journey must commence The army is clearly the flood as it corrupts a body. It is also a dark fate for any soul. The person refered to by "I" is a forerunner. They are the race that felt the embrace oif the flood and dfeated it with the halos.

Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame. They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory.

"Keepers of the Flame"? Regret wanted to ' light this holy ring and unleash it clensing flame.' So if halo is the flame, then the keepers of the flame are reclaimers. so If we assume that humans with certian genes are reclaimers, then reclaimers shall lead us to victory. and since spartans and few other have these gens, then spartans will lead us to victory. Spartans have lead the fight for decades, so this part is true. So from this we must assume that Halo will end with humanity being saved by Mastercheif who is the last spartan 2 in this dimension.

My belief
Forerunners may be actually human, but not human at that time. Possibly from the future. ---Below is a great story that I thought--- 343 Guilty Spark told Master Chief that "Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed." Maybe Master Chief go back to the past and meet (or even make) 343 Guilty Spark. 343 Guilty Spark asked Master Chief "Why would you hesitate to do what you've already done?" That means Master Chief was the man who first activated halo. In the book Halo: The Flood, Master Chief just 'know' how to activate light bridge. It might because of the 'remaining memory' of Master Chief. Similarly, the Master Chief and the other Spartan-IIs describe Forerunner technology and language as "familiar". It is also because of the 'remaining memory'. Then it also stated that the other Spartan-IIs also go back to the past. The possble result might be: Covenant and human are both suffering from the floods. Since human don't want it continues, they decided to bring the floods (including Gravemind) to the past. Therefore, Master Chief and the other Spartan-IIs start the journey (There is also a possibility that the Master Chief and Spartan-IIs bring the floods back to the past accidently). Unfortunately, after they reached the past, the floods escaped and destroyed the time machine. Master Chief and Spartan-IIs therfore can't go back to future. They stay there, and become the forerunners.

P.S. Some of the imformations are from halopedia.

I like your theory, but Humans so far are the only species called reclaimers, now we dont know about all humans or not but we do no miranda keyes and mc. In h2 Johnson was there with the key too (not that he had it or anything) but he was another option, now i think that johnson couldn't activate halo b/c he had a flood gene in him (you find that out in the 3 halo book)but non the less no other being can activate halo. This also brings up a new ?/theory. If the prophets were so worried about the great journey and being part of it then how come at the end of h2 truth wasnt in the controll room when miranda was forced to put the key in and why was he hauling it to earth? well i have 2 theorys 1st is he knows about every thing (hence the prophet of truth and so far all the prophets had some thing to do with there name)and he knows that earth has the ark and it is a safe haven( acording to bilical terms) so he is having it cleared of all life so the covenent can make that there homeworld (and as far as we know they dont have a homeworld just giant floating bases) and the are activating halo to clear the flood and all other life making him a supreme being cause nothing else can match the covenent. the 2nd **spoiler for h3** is he is there looking for a key of some sort (hence the beta code level called the key and the reference to the key in tha uprising strip that was posted on bungie)and he wants to carry out his plans from the first theory via ark/earth

oh and MC and the other spartans are the most related to the forerunners or atleast their military b/c 343 gs mentions that he will need atleast a class 12 armor to fight off the flood and he currently has a class 2 so that tells us that the forerunners has his type of armor classed.

= Humanity's survival = In this and many other pages it states Halo was fired approximatly 100,000 local years ago, no matter how long a year is on the Threshold system it can't account how Humanity survived the firing.

According to modern science humanity has existed on earth for 3 million years. That said the initial firing of Halo would have wiped out humanity on earth before written history. -

Yes, but, around that time, a little before, if I am right. They Forerunners landed on Earth, and built The Ark. Now, around this time, most humans were in Africa, and that is also the place where The Ark supposedly is. Humanity, or what was there at that time, could have been put in the Ark at that time, and that's how they would have survived.Well the Ark was constructed to protect humanity when the halos where activated.

Make sense? --Spartan-029 19:57, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Unless you go by the bible terms, which would say that the Earth was formed 6,000 years ago, but halo isn't going by that...oh well. Anyways, my theory is, that the forerunners are humans. Either that or the rings just traveled to another galaxy.--H*bad (talk) 20:00, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Symbols or alphabet?
I'm sure everyone has seen the Forerunner symbols, but don't they also look like their alphabet? There are 24 symbols, and 24 letters in our alphabet...so maybe this is where the present day human-alphabet came from, which might also further explain the Forerunner-Humanity similarity. If this sounds rediculous, don't flame me please. Kap2310 20:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Its hard not to flame when the English alphabet actually has 26 letters. ;) --Justin Time 00:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Forerunner/Human
I added to the forerunners humans? Section. 343 says the forerunners race depended on the study and containment of the flood. Right after that comment he says to the chief "I am glad to see that some survived to reproduce!" Are humans primitave forerunners? Arbiters Follower 08/11/07 5:25pm Um, I think 343 is referring to the flood. The flood would have most likely died if they were not contained within the Halos.Terin 01:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

The flood do not reproduce, they only reproduce through other organisms. So He was referring to humans or forerunners. Coproal John 03:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC) Coproal John

Problem
Now I'm not disagreeing with the theiry of humans being the Forerunners but how could they be if in the cradle of life comic, the old man is seeing the forerunners build what may be the Ark. That may give you something to think about. Hydraman 08/11/07 10:12pm

I agree, he must be talking about humans. You see, he says studying the flood was important for their survival and then he mentions hes glad someof them was able to reproduce. now, "their" could be reffering to mankind.If you check the halo 3 site, and dig alittle into the log accounts, the forerunners were studying earth, something on the earth intriqued them or the potential that mankind seemed to hold. so they built the ark to protect them from the firing of halo after the flood became to threatful to hold. So, we might not be descended from forerunners but saved by them all those years ago. Rob117 12:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

cradle of life
Okay this will sound kinda strange but what if humans are in fact a sub-species of the forerunner? I hope that makes sense. But that is interesting about cradle of life.Arbiters Follower 08/12/07 1:01pm -- And what of the giants who formed this world?...

I was thinking that forerunners may not be humans because it was said at the cortana letters that they were somewhat big. Also look at the Dreadshold that ship is relly big, and also many of the contruction were ver tall. The forerunners were also named as gods, it of course may be because of their technology, but it may also be because of their size.

And other thing about Cortana letters: i was wonddering if the first letter is written by Cortana or by the Gravemind controlling, cuz it seems that the flood have destroyed many other intelligent empires and because of the fact that they infect any other living being it may cause a great fear that even the bravest soldiers.

08/28/07 johnny_chrno@hotmail ---

ok maybe Spartas II and III´s are taller and the letters sounds just like if Cortana is now at our age assuming that she has been there and seen the past and the future of us and learned, how could that be possible unless there had been a time distortion? now I see your point, but there shuld have been more than just afew spartans to create all of the Halos and Onyx, because it was said that there were many forerunners who fought but didnt contained the Flood

Xrinix

= Picture =

Yes, I believe the picture may be a forerunner. plus if it where the statue of liberty if you look closely,lol, there are no spikes, just somthing that looks like a pony tail.

7
I bet the Iris logo is the Forerunner's symbol for the number seven. Look at the similarities between that and the other number symbols. Chieftain Maccus Rally to the Loyalist Cause 16:44, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey Graphic novel and forrunner symbols
Look on page 95 the elite is speaking and forerunner symbol come out.

Forerunners... Humans?
Unless I'm mistaken, something like a Halo would take an incredibly extensive amount of knowledge to build. And as far as I am concerned, HUMAN-built AI's such as Cortana was able to figure out almost everything about Halo. So if Humans built Cortana, than couldn't it be possible that the Forerunners are Humans?

Also, why are they called FORErunners? If Humans have been around for millions of years, than shouldn't huumans be Forerunners and Forerunners be Runners or Postrunners?

Plus, we all know that 343 Guilty Spark was built by Forerunners. So if humans are in contact with 343 GS, couldn't they just ask him who the Forerunners were, human or alien?

And if 343 GS keeps calling the Master Chief "Reclaimer", then couldn't it be possible that Forerunners were humans in similar armor than Mjonlir, or aliens that look like Mjonlier-type armor. Because if he calls him Reclaimer, couldn't it be possible REclaimers look like the Forerunners, if he seems to recognize the MAster Cheif as a Reclaimer?

Epeu

Sorry, but you're a little behind. Iris confirmed that the Forerunners aren't human, but they still have a mysterious link to us. But regardless, i dont see why Cortana's existence is proof that humanity are the Forerunners. Even she never figured out Halo's secrets fully, and mostly she just stored it as data. I'm sure that the armour has a link, and maybe it has its roots in Forerunner technology - explaining the similarities to 343GS? Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 21:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

possable theory
I know that the forerunners are not human but could we have evolved from them or they evolved from us although unlikley but we could have evolved from them OR they left slight traces of their DNA in achant humans so we could actavate the rings

actually halo 3 confirms that the Forerunners are Human, and with the iris info it just lets us know that they are of a different origin just the same genus and we the "missing link" to the Forerunners own mysteries [origin?].-- Halo_freak_117 (on public computer, not logged on)

Iris
If you read the transcript go Episode 5 of Iris it says that the Forerunners Discovered humanity shortly before activating the Halos and then built the ARK to protect humanity from the Flood and the activation fo the halos. Arbiters Follower Sept 1, 12:59pm

Its says they discovered a planet with Unique denizens, they never specify humanity. Just that they hold the secret to their own mystery and a code of Alligator DNA was attached to a server also, what does that have to do with anything. Did anyone ever find out?

Help
Hey, I've been editing the articles dealing with Humans being forerunners. As it has been proved false ive been fixing the articles. Its been taking a while so if anyone could help. Thanks! Arbiters Follower Sept 1, 1:03pm Now that halo 3 is over we need to edit the Forerunner section because its been CONFIRMED that we are Forerunner

Not Exactly. Guilty Spark exibits many factors common to Rampancy. Irrational Behavior, Irrational Thinking, Irrational everything. 343 might've gotten Humans and Forerunners confused during this state of rampancy, due to the latter's need to keep the Human race alive. 5748 PrimaryCipher 01:45, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

The picture
Either the image should be removed or the caption changed. We have NO information to support that that's a Forerunner or it's infected form. For all we know, it was just a random clip inserted into the Iris video that serve's no purpose. So either change the caption to reflect that it's speculative, or remove it. -- Hunter-113 01:51, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. Out of all of the Iris ARG videos, this is the Only one in which a Humanoid figure can be seen. Eyes, a head, even a mouth, its probably the closest we'll get to a Forerunner. Seeing that this was a Forerunner Transmission, it only reinforces it. 5748 PrimaryCipher 02:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I concur with Hunter-113. We have no proof if it is a Forerunner - it was in an Episode dealing with the Reclaimers, so its probably human - I personally think it looks remarkably like the Statue of Liberty, but that's just my opinion.

Forerunner/Human "disproved"?
Maybe I’m missing some vital piece of information, but I have yet to see how the theory that “Forerunner = Ancient Humans” has been disproved. All we’ve got at the minute – to my knowledge - is a reference to “unique denizens” being discovered on Earth by the Forerunner. Whilst this can certainly be interpreted to mean humanity, this is not - by any stretch - the only interpretation. After all, who's to say that they’re not just talking about Earth’s vast population of animals?

Similarly, I recall one of the computer terminal thingies in Halo 3 talking about a Forerunner having “named and indexed” all the species of Earth and that strikes me being linked in some way to Adam’s naming of the birds and beasts in the Judeo-Christian creation myth… which implies "Forerunner=Human".

Then of course, there's the whole fact that Guilty-Spark tells us that Master-Chief IS Forerunner. I don't quite know what this page means by "humanity is shown to have joined the Forerunner"... unless the Forerunner were akin to the Covenant and something of a mixed bag when it came to species.

Anyway. If there's some real conclusive proof that humans aren't Forerunner, feel free to slap my down. I just hope I didn't miss such proof in this article... that would be embarrassing.(86.1.169.81 01:25, 28 September 2007 (UTC))

There might be some evidence towards Forerunner=Human. Guilty Spark in the final campaign mission of Halo 3 exclaims "You Are Forerunner, but this is MY ring!". Either Guilty Spark has revealed our true origins, or he has gone into a state of Rampancy. I lean towards the latter. 5748 PrimaryCipher 01:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)


 * sigh* We're being flooded by "Forerunners=Human" people. Firstly, Truth - he became a religious zealot in Halo 3, and probably had no real idea! Second, 343 GS - "You are the Reclaimer - inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner...but this ring is mine." He was only saying that since he's a Reclaimer, he might as wel be a Forerunner - not that he has to be a human to be a Forerunner. And the Terminals actually prove that the Forerunners arent human! [[Image:HalfJaw03.jpg|20px]]  Kora ‘Morhek '  The Battle-Net  My Conquests.  01:59, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * So what you're stating as fact is, in truth, your interpretation? An interpretation based off your belief that the terminals stated the Forerunner discovered humanity? From what I remember - which, admittedly, may be sketchy - there is only mention of the discovery of "unique species" in the terminals.  Species, obviously, is both singular and a plural - so who is to say which usage was meant? If the former, then yes - it would appear that the FR discovered humanity... if the latter, then it just shows that the Forerunner considered all of Earth's non-human species to be unique and special. To be quite honest, I have trouble believing that Bungie would have Guilty Spark declare that Master Chief IS Forerunner in the last game of the trilogy only to have that not really be true, but perhaps I'm odd. (86.1.169.81 00:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC))


 * True, I admit. The Terminals intentional ambiguity is frustrating. But if you're talking about interpretations, then 343GS is open to interpretation. "..inheritor to all they left behind. You are Forerunner...but this ring is mine." It sounds to me like he's merely saying that he might as well be a Forerunner, as their inheritor - it wouldnt make any difference to his decision. But i stick by my interpretation - humans may be the inheritors of the Forerunners empire, but we arent their descendants.

Ok, first off, Specops306, or Kora, or whatever, since when is 343 Guilty Spark a religious zealot? He's rampant, not Covenant! More than likely, he has gone rampant as a result of the destruction of Installation 4. There's a big difference between crazy and religious zealot. And he "probably has no real idea"? Come on, guy! I think "You are Forerunner" carries a little more weight than asserting that Spark is some kind of religious zealot who has joined the Prophet of Truth in going off the deep end worshipping the Forerunner (who he probably knew on a personal level, as they built him!) All the evidence being cited as "proof" that the Human=Forerunner theory is disproved is circumstantial at best. There is easily as much, if not more, hard proof to support the Human=Forerunner theory than to disprove it, and as such I think that all references to the theory being disproven should be removed immediately. (SpartHawg948 08:43, 3 October 2007 (UTC))


 * What? First off, the whole "religious zealot" thing was TRUTH, not GS. Truth may know some stuff, but its garbled by the Covenant religion - that's what i was getting at. GS may know, but he's too ambiguous to be sure. And there's much evidence that the humans ARENT Forerunners - they saw the "Gods" (the REAL Forerunners) building the portal; they have never been called Forerunners, except for GS at the end of Halo 3; they are being persecuted by a civilisation that venerates the Forerunners; Dont ignore that, too.

 * excuse my lack of an account for the time being(grrr) but i have some things to say. 1. Humans on Earth saw the "GODS" becuase pherhaps (as with ealier human survival theories of the 1st activation) they were mentally restarted (this is just to say that just becuase humans dont realis their Forerunner, doesnt mean they arnt, by your logic...Humans are definatly not Forerunner becuase humanity doesnt say they are. Your "GODS" argument is not very strong). 2. I agree with SpartHawg948 in that the Hard evidence for Human=Forerunner is more prevalent than Human join Forerunner (or disproving H=F). 3. the fact that 343 said "You ARE Forerunner" does not sound like he saying you might as well be (with the empahsis on ARE being more like "Becuase you are" than "you might as well be"). They way you argue this point, i feel like if Bungie officialy stated "Humans are Descendants of Forerunner" you'd turn the statement to say they arnt. As for the Terminals, i agree that they are too ambiguous to really make any points with. I personally think thate the Forerunner made humans in an effort to save part of their race if they ever needed to activate the Array System again, they ensured this by creating a shism artifact(im not the sure of the proper term for it, i just call it the slipspace generator) and by making humans different from forerunner mentally (Tempory Semi-sentience, which would grow to sentience after time) so as to not let them be killed by the Rings. Again, sorry for the lack of a Account, but please do not discredit my opinion, thank you. 24.17.193.27 22:52, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't "discredit" an opinion unless it's worth discrediting - you mention some valid points (though I don't agree that we were "created" by the Forerunners.) And did you mean "retarded" instead of restarted? That itself doesnt make sense - N'chala would simply have no idea what the machines were. But it seems apparent that he doesnt think they're made by humans. What exactly did you mean?
