In Halo first strike a forerunner crystal causes people to go back in time.

Been so long since I read those books but I remember in not really being very impressive or controllable Also weren't the precursors wiped it by the forerunners? Who were then wiped out by the flood? Which were created by the precursors as a last resort? Admittedly, my Halo knowledge isn't up to date.

The crystal was being used by humans who knew nothing of how it actually worked, so they time traveled by accident. The Precursors allowed themselves to be driven to extinction because they were curious what it was like. They were in no real danger though because they are transcendent, so they could just make new forms for themselves. The flood was created after 1000 precursors reduced themselves to dust to be revived at a later date. Then after round 10 million years these remains became corrupted, were consumed by animals and became the Flood. The guy who used the Flood in his plan to wipeout the Forerunners was the Primordial who was imprisoned by the Precursors who presumably didn't want him to kill the Forerunners, so it wasn't a last resort really.

The crystal has the potential to manipulate time in a sense of slowing/speeding up.

Yes but it actually sent them backwards in time.

I feel old and out of touch not knowing any of this... Back in highschool my friends would always mock me for knowing so much about Halo, Star Wars, and Elder Scrolls. Now I'm lazy and just watch YouTube all day I'm changing my vote to Team Precursor

Lol yeah I also lost touch will the halo lore and it took me forever to catch up.
