Hoping to understand how humanity drove back the Flood, select humans had their memories extracted via the [[Composer]]. These memories were implanted by the Librarian in the genetic material of future human generations, designed to awaken when the right circumstances were met with the plan of utilizing them should the Flood return to challenge Forerunner power. This achievement spared humanity from extinction, a fate that had fallen on many species that challenged Forerunner control over the ages.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''pages 234-235''</ref> While humanity's defeat affirmed Forerunner dominance over the entire galaxy, the destruction of a major military power combined with the subsequent disbandment of the Forerunners' Warrior rate set the stage for the return of the Flood and the disastrous [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. The Forerunners were unprepared to deal with the Flood, as the humans had destroyed every piece of evidence about the parasite and the cure they had invented, possibly as a final act of vengeance. The Didact later regretted the devolution of humanity, as he had been unaware that the Flood was the reason for humanity's earlier aggression. The threat of the Flood would also lead to the rise of the [[Builder]] rate led by [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]] in Forerunner society over the Warrior-Servants and the banishment and execution of the Promethean leadership.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''pages 238-239''</ref> | Hoping to understand how humanity drove back the Flood, select humans had their memories extracted via the [[Composer]].

The San 'Shyuum home system was placed under quarantine, with the Forerunner {{Class|Fortress|vessel}} ''[[Deep Reverence]]'' orbiting the species' homeworld, [[Janjur Qom]]. Access from outside of the system was blocked by a [[quarantine shield]]. When the [[Librarian]] attempted to index the San 'Shyuum during the early stages of Forerunner-Flood war, the San 'Shyuum mistook her intentions and rose in revolt against the Forerunners. Master Builder Faber took this opportunity to test Halo's effects on living beings, by testing the weapon on the San 'Shyuum homeworld. The test surpassed all expectations. This genocidal act led to the near extinction of the San 'Shyuum, as well as Faber's removal from power and his subsequent trial on charges of treason against the Mantle. | The [[San 'Shyuum home system]] was placed under quarantine, with the Forerunner {{Class|Fortress|vessel}} ''[[Deep Reverence]]'' orbiting the species' homeworld, [[Janjur Qom]].
