Another similarity is on the level [[Sacred Icon]], when you deactivate the plug locks then a holographic hand comes up and it looks just like a human hand. This implies Forerunner technology was intended for Human usage, or is at least compatible with human anatomy. | Another similarity is on the level [[Sacred Icon]], when you deactivate the plug locks then a holographic hand comes up and it looks just like a human hand.

During the events in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', Covenant religious vehicles traveled the edge of Covenant-controlled space and discovered a planet that was covered with Forerunner "Reclamation" glyphs, who were actually the humans. A [[Brute Chieftain]] known as [[Maccabeus]] (uncle of [[Tartarus]]) landed on the [[Harvest|planet]] and was, at first, passive towards the humans. He claimed the planet in the name of the Covenant due to the presence of a large number of Forerunner relics (which in fact were Humans') and an Oracle. It wasn't until a shot rang out did things turn bloody. Later, a report of the planet's glyphs was sent to the [[High Prophet of Regret|Vice Minister of Tranquility]]. He took the information to the [[High Prophet of Truth|Minister of Fortitude]] and they went to see the [[Oracle]] (the Forerunner [[AI]], [[Mendicant Bias]], in the [[Forerunner Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]). Upon activation of the [[Mendicant Bias|Oracle]], the AI exclaimed, "''FOR EONS I HAVE WATCHED. LISTENED TO YOU MISINTERPRET. THIS IS NOT RECLAMATION. THIS IS RECLAIMER.''" After those words, the glyphs in the report were shown and they began to transform shape until a crude image of a human appeared. The Oracle adds, "''AND THOSE IT REPRESENTS ARE MY MAKERS. I WILL REJECT MY BIAS AND WILL MAKE AMENDS. MY MAKERS ARE MY MASTERS. I WILL BRING THEM SAFELY TO THE [[Installation 00|ARK]].''" After that, the power conduits aboard the Dreadnought short circuit as several frying, dead Lekgolo worms fall out of the spaces. The [[Dreadnought]] powers down. Truth, believing that the humans were actually Forerunner (rather than being related), believed this information could destroy the foundation of the [[Covenant]] and, with it, his power. Upon being promoted (through blackmail) to High Prophet, he used his power to set out a massive religious genocide against the humans.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', page 274-276</ref> | During the events in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', Covenant religious vehicles traveled the edge of Covenant-controlled space and discovered a planet that was covered with Forerunner "Reclamation" glyphs, who were actually the humans.

The [[Halo Encyclopedia]] has confirmed that Forerunners were deeply fascinated by humanity and felt that humans were meant to carry on their legacy as custodians of the galaxy. They also felt that could learn a lot about themselves and their own existence through the intense study of humans.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'''</ref> | The [[Halo Encyclopedia]] has confirmed that Forerunners were deeply fascinated by humanity and felt that humans were meant to carry on their legacy as custodians of the galaxy.

[[Halo Legends]] episode [[Origins]], depicts the Forerunners being of almost exact human form and shape, though their facial features are kept hidden through the episode. Whether this shows a biological connection between Forerunners and Humans, is still uncertain. | [[Halo Legends]] episode [[Origins]], depicts the Forerunners being of almost exact human form and shape, though their facial features are kept hidden through the episode.
