If you will all take a moment to remember, back in Gears of War 2 we were introduced to the Sires. Those Locust like creatures in the Hope facility. I was pretty sure at the time it was implied that humanity created the Locust race. Except that in Gears 3 they completely seemed to forget about this. So this leaves a loose end, a REALLY big loose end. What were the Sires? What point did they have?

Hmm.

I think that you may have gotten the wrong impression.

The things in the test tubes may have been humanities experiments in DNA splicing. They didn't really resemble locust to me, and the game had already made it clear that the locust had fled to the underground thousands of years ago (as I understand it).The reason we never saw them again was because the only Sires left, were in that facility, and now splattered on most of the walls.

It's the unfortunate side effect of switching writers between 2 and 3. As for what they actually were, my guess was that they were the first attempts at studying lambency and its effects.
