:Well, that would certainly contradict with the ending of Halo 3, where Master Chief fires the ring and then has to hurry to get off of it. Additionally, firing wouldn't kill the Flood at all if it didn't affect those on the ring, since they were all aboard. Certainly curious.

::It would also contradict Halo CE and Halo 2, but it wouldn't be the first time. Perhaps they fled to escape the destruction of the ring?

::I get the sense that they were originally meant to be crewed and used as... for lack of a better term... wildlife refuges... With each activation being meant to cleanse separate systems. The Forerunners on board would have to survive each activation to move the ring to the next infected area of space. The Didact locks portions of Installation 07 in stasis(like the time bubbles of Onyx?). Perhaps the rings could be locked down when they fired, and this was disabled for the ultimate use at the end of the war? Lots of ifs, ands or buts. But I'm certainly at a loss to explain it.

Figured out a possible reconciliation with ''Halo 3''; The intention was to destroy the Flood through the destruction of the Halo itself once Gravemind revealed he had teleported himself there, hence why they didn't bother waiting for the ring to finish building itself. There's a possible plot hole as to how the heroes knew the ring would be destroyed, but it's the most likely answer I can think of.
