More speculation! Keep it coming! :)

As we all well know, 343 Guilty Spark says the most consequential lines in the game in terms of story. Of particular interest is how he refers to the MC as "Reclaimer," how he makes suggestions about your technology (lv. 2 cyber suit, etc.), and especially how he once slips out something about the last time you activated the Halo.
He is obviously mistaking you for somebody else (watch, this will be proved wrong in a few years :P), more specifically, a similar cyber suit who has the capability, and perhaps even the responsibility, to activate the Halo when needed. Assumedly, he'll find the nearest one to his location if the flood was released and press the button, or reunite the index with the core if you prefer. He's so important, he even has an official name, the "Reclaimer." The MC has no such designation or purpose to the best of his knowledge, and we assume it's GS's mistake.
Now, GS mentions the last time the MC was on Halo. This means that it must have been activated before by the true "Reclaimer," and subsequently destroyed all life in the universe. I have a hunch that this last activation was what destroyed the forerunner, which is why the he seemed so pensive about it according to GS. This wiped slate means the forerunner could have been anything, and that all current life must have either evolved (from bacteria) since that last activation or made by the forerunner to survive the annihilation as robots or something. The Covenant could possibly meet the last qualification, as well as the grunts and everything, which would explain why they seem so engineered and precise. Heck, humans could have even been the forerunner.
If there was a "Reclaimer" at some point in the past, was it a member of the Forerunner, or possibly a construct of theirs? Why does 343 Guilty Spark mistake you for someone else?
The Tru7h is out there...
