In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', [[343 Guilty Spark]] confuses the [[John-117|Master Chief]] with a Forerunner, referring to conversations they never had. In Halo 3, 343 Guilty Spark tells the Master Chief: ''"You are the child of my makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner!"'' In addition, the [[Prophet of Truth]] also tells [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]]: "''Your Forefathers wisely set aside their compassion. Steeled themselves for what needed to be done. I see now why they left you behind. You were weak. And gods must be strong.''" Quotes by the Gravemind spoken in ''Halo 3'' also seem to reinforce the connection between humans and Forerunners, for example: ''Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness for the father's sins, passed on to his son.'' However, the web comic that included the character [[N'chala]] makes this theory less likely. In the [[Iris]] viral campaign and the [[Terminals]] of ''Halo 3'' explaining that the [[Forerunners]] rediscovered humanity on a planet in a "perilous location beyond the line" (Maginot Line, meaning that Earth was outside of the Forerunners' protection). It is possible that the reason between the link between humanity and the [[Forerunners]] is that the Forerunners passed their inheritance to humanity, since humanity did what they couldn't, beat [[The Flood]]. In a mixture of guilt and hope, they may have passed the torch to humanity, in hope that in the future they would do it again, which with some help, [[John 117]] did. | In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', [[343 Guilty Spark]] confuses the [[John-117|Master Chief]] with a Forerunner, referring to conversations they never had.

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. 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 he went to see the [[Oracle]] (the Forerunner [[Artificial intelligence|AI]], [[Mendicant Bias]], in the [[Forerunner Dreadnought|Dreadnought]]). Upon activation of the [[Mendicant Bias|Oracle]], the AI proclaimed, "FOR EONS I HAVE WATCHED. LISTENED TO YOU MISINTERPRET. THIS IS NOT RECLAMATION. THIS IS RECLAIMER. AND THOSE IT REPRESENTS ARE MY MAKERS. I WILL REJECT MY BIAS AND WILL MAKE AMENDS. MY MAKERS ARE MY MASTERS.

Truth, believing that the humans were actually Forerunners (rather than their inheritors), became panicked and realized that this information could destroy the foundation of the Covenant and, with it, his power. Utilizing his power as High Prophet, Truth proceeded to launch a massive religious crusade against humanity, the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | ||
