Why are Forerunner complexes so ABSOLUTELY garbage at containing the Flood?
Just wondering if this has been explored in the lore, but I find it strange how the Forerunners had such bad security and made SO many installations with flood spores that its as though they intended to cause another catastrophe.
Like, I can excuse the first outbreak because the Covenant are dumb and thought it was "holy", but every single installation seems to have a breakout with no tools in place to stop it, besides a couple sentinels. Forerunner tech when its vsing humanity seems top tier, but against the flood I would rather have Billy Bob equipped with a shotgun and a can of Zyns.
I get that they wanted to keep some samples around in case the Flood returned some other way, but they just seem so careless. Like OK, Installation 04 needs a research station because its a major construct and probably will be found someday, but does the gas mining station really need one?
