So I had this theory that’s been on my mind for a while now, what if the Primordial was (namesake) the 1st being to exist in the Halo Universe and the Precursors were just his spawns that became self-aware, evolved and eventually imprisoned him as a way to sever his connection from them, since the Primordial gave off spores, it makes sense somewhat. And what if the time the Precursors went into stasis by turning their bodies into a powdery material, they basically just devolved back into their initial form? It would perfectly explain the Precursor’s and Flood’s origin and it would explain how the Primordial was connected to them despite not being around when they were Precursors. It will also answer the question of how the Primordial was found in capsule with no one to take responsibility of who imprisoned it.
