So, let me see if what you're saying makes sense. You're telling us that you are a monitor of a Forerunner installation called "the Archives." This installation, judging by what you say, was something of a database of Forerunner knowledge and it was overrun by Flood. You're also saying, from information on the your Twitter account, that the Protheans and the Reapers [from the ''Mass Effect'' series] are the same as Forerunners and Flood respectively. Is all of this correct?
