I was talking about how Humans once coexisted with forerunners but then there was the Human-Forerunner War in the Halo Cryptum novel it explains it pretty well. Forerunners viewd us as the best race to control the mantle, as we once(Thousands of years before Halo Combat Evolved) defeated the flood, entirely. Seriously.

We even began to become more technologicaly advanced then the Forerunners, until they kicked the crap out of us unexpectedly.

Spark called Chief forerunner in the sense that he is a reclaimer, who are humanty, who are the replacements of the forerunners, just like they were for the Percusors, who did something stupid and made the forerunners kill all of them off. At least there is some in other galaxies, as they are intergalatic, and also viewed humanity as the saviours of the Milky Way Galaxy.

So in a way, we are forerunner, as much as we are percusor. I've always liked Halo lore, never obce has it disapointed me, as I seem to be one of the few who knows bungies an now whatever 343 says, is canon.
