    So much rich history, destroyed by the Forerunners. Ancient Humanity has such interesting lore to them. And even with their fall, Humanity might be on the track to regaining what they lost with the Spartans being the next step in human evolution, Halsey said in the Halo 4 prologue that her Spartans were the next step. So while Ancient Humanity is gone, Humanity is on the rise to regain that which was lost.

    I wonder what would happen if 343 and Microsoft decided to do a plot twist where a ancient humanity faculty was discovered that didn’t contain a trove of information, but a small of ancient humans and UNSC was the one to find it. After some time the UNSC decides to reawaken the ancient humans and after some explaining the ancient humans goes “hm, the Flood you know what we actually had a chance to talk to a couple of Precursors once and they left us a bunch of stuff at the time we didn’t think much about it so put it away at the time”

    Ancient Humanity technology should have been what's reclaimed first , with the Forerunners technology being an added bonus. Remember AH was fighting a two front war simultaneously, against the flood and the Forerunners! Yet none of the Halo Games build on that to the point where the UNSC doesn't capitalize on that especially after finding the AH Prime Cruiser

    • @MetaNerdzLore
      @MetaNerdzLore  4 месяца назад +4

      yeah I agree that one is rough to explain away, best I could say is they were just traumatized by the Flood. The scale seems crazy to us to bomb a city, but you could imagine if this was on Earth today, and authorities found an outbreak in a house, they might blow it up in a way that takes out a few blocks, and we could say come on just send in a more surgical strike team, but I think we would get why authorities did the quickest easiest and effective thing. At a global scale a 100 people dead might be acceptable, and both the humans and Forerunners had tens of thousands of worlds in the empire

      The most logical explanation behind that is that, given their long history of mutual contempt, the Forerunners and Ancient Humans would never believe each other. If the AH presented them with evidence of the Flood, there would be any number of explanations they could contrive as to why the AH were disingenuous. They could think the Flood is an excuse for false-flag attacks on Forerunner space, or a human bioweapon that was either acting as intended or got out of control. They would think that whatever the Flood was, real or not, was just an excuse for the AH to attack and ravage the Ecumene.

      Given the technological power Ancient Humans would've had to stand up to the Forerunners after being crippled by the Flood for over a millennium, the final flotilla described by Gamelpar's Geas of "40 Prime cruisers and 10 First-rate Tuned Platforms" could have likely taken out the entirety of the Reaper armada with childish ease, the only weakness being the ships' need to refuel and conduct routine maintenance every so often, and the fact that their weapons can only target so many Reapers at any one time. And after figuring out the reason and tech behind Mass Relays, they should be able to simply make their own versions that use Slipspace or wormhole portals as to not let future civs fall into the Reaper trap, and consider the Citadel little more than a historical and tourist site.
      With Star Trek, the involvement of Ancient Humans would drastically change the setting in almost any time period they are put in. Out them in the ancient history era and their civilization would have been able to tell the T'kon and Iconians to mind their own business or FAFO, put them in the Delta Quadrant and they would be able to comfortably fend off the Borg by realizing that you can't really adapt to the sheer KE inflicted by MAC rounds travelling at FTL speeds or something. Put them in the Gamma Quadrant, they would likely take over the Dominion and make it far better than anything in Canon. Their conventional and basic Precursor-derived tech and forces would be an extreme ally for whoever they joined in the Temporal War, and most of the wars and crises of the STO timeline would be rather short affairs if Ancient Humanity was there. The civilizations of the Galaxy probably would have been able to defeat the Iconians in a conventional War, and the AH would likely take over the Terran Empire and replace it with their own culture while exploring and expanding in the Mirror Universe, confused as to why there are humans around that are so cartoonishly evil. Any conflicts between the Federation and Klingons would be cut short if the AH found them annoying or counterproductive, and overall, they would improve the prosperity and stability of the Galaxy and beyond. Even in the 32nd century of the Discovery series, the AH would likely quickly reverse engineer all the cool advanced tech around and use their superior Slipspace travel to become the only (inter)galactic superpower where nobody has any Dilithium for their own FTL.
      With Star Wars, likely the only technology that would interest them is Hyperspace travel, since it doesn't share the annoying drawback of Reconciliation Debt that Slipspace travel does. Any other downsides would be trivial in comparison and they would dominate tech wise. Another interesting thing to see play out is how the Force would act around the AH, considering their extremely violent and traumatic history, as well as the fact that their species never evolved to have midichlorians.
      With 40K, I wouldn't put them at War in Heaven levels of potential power, that era had entire races of godlike beings murdering each other on the daily, but I would put them at a compatible level to the DAOT human civilization, with them being superior in some fields and inferior in others, though capable of rapidly learning and advancing. If they arrived in the 41st millennium, they would most likely get along best with the Leagues of Votann, since they are the only version of humanity to still have common sense and science in their eyes, followed by the Tau, most Craftworld Eldar, and interestingly enough the Silent King. The Tau they would be able to peacefully consist with abd sybe even cooperate here and there,though they would disapprove of their Caste system and government since it would remind them of the Forerunners. The Eldar they could learn about the dangers of the Warp and other things from, and be harder to manipulate than the Imperium while also less xenophobic.
      With the Silent King and his loyalist Necrons, the AH would likely have the tech to create new untainted bodies for the Necrons to shift back into, and happily cooperate with them tonight against the forces of Chaos and the Tyranids (which they would see as more numerous, but far less scary than the Flood due to their slow FTL speeds and lack of advanced infection methods or Logic Plague equivalent). They would likely form an alliance, with the AH giving the Necrons new improved lives in exchange for tech and a promise not to go genociding other species without VERY good reasoning (IE: if they're Dark Eldar, Orks or the likely). They would also be interested in the Necrons' anti-Warp and Blackstone tech because who wants to deal with that nonsense?
      With the Imperium, they would see it as a lost cause,aiming to save and free/uplift and assimilate the populations and resources while toppling abd replacing the government with their own.
