| | I'm kind of surprised that there is - so far - no mention of the obvious Halo in the Center of the Ark in 2559, I do know it is not known WHICH Installation it is, maybe 04C or 03 (Which is more likely).

| === Forerunner = human race? ===
| | Now that we know Installation 00 is fine and dandy as of the current Halo universe shouldn't all the cases of past tense verbs be changed?(had,was,resembled etc.) |
|
| |
|
| Further evidence to suggest that the Forerunner and human race are one and the same manifests itself in one of the final cutscenes of Halo: Combat Evolved. Guilty Spark, upon scanning the files of human history aboard the severely damaged Pillar of Autumn, remarks on, "''Our'' lost time." This subtle distinction, coupled with the knowledge that guilty spark refers to Master Chief and Miranda Keyes as the "Reclaimer" and acts as if they have met before, allows one to reasonably conclude that the human race is all that remains of the Forerunner. It's incredibly ironic, especially when one considers how the Covenant have essentially worshipped Forerunner technology and, at the same time, are driven by their dogmatic beliefs to eradicate the human race.
| | Should have been fixed a while ago, yeah -Japeth555 |
| * And let's not forget, the human race is believed to have come into origin in Africa, before migrating to Mesopatamia, where civilization began. - [[User:Chickenman|Chickenman]] 00:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| If you find all the terminals it states that the Forerunners had the Mantle of Guardianship for your galaxy and found a special race (humans) choosing to safe them from the rings firing and just for the record when Sparks tells the Chief "that you are Forerunner" he's saying that the Chief has taken on "the Mantle of Guardianship" because he not just fighting to save humanity but for all life in the galaxy like the Forerunners before him -- [[User:MCDBBlits|MCDBBlits]] 19:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Hasn't it been determined that Humans aren't Forerunners? Also, when 343 GS says "you are Forerunner" I think he means that Chief has the same mission as the Forerunners.

| === Forerunners in the Ark? ===
| |
| | |
| It is also believed, though this is purely speculative, that the Ark may have sheltered the [[Forerunners|Forerunners]] after Halo's first use, which then evolved into humanity. In the Bible, God floods the Earth to cleanse it of all life, which has grown evil and wicked. However, he saves a group of righteous humans and two of of all animals by telling them to build and seek refuge in a ship, called the Ark. Thus it is a possibility that in Halo, the Ark is a structure or device that shields those using it from the effects of the rings' activation and the Flood. The humans on Earth might have descended from those who were protected by the Ark during the first activation of the rings. This theory is purely speculative of course.
| |
| | |
| === Ark is a forerunner ship? ===
| |
| | |
| Another speculative opinion assrets that the Ark is a forerunner ship which would jump into [[Slipspace|slipspace]] at the time of the activation of the seven Halo rings, thus removing the occupants from mass genocide that would purge the galaxy of all sentient life.
| |
| * We know from [[Halo:_Ghosts_of_Onyx|Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] that this cannot be the case, as the Onyx Instilsation was the doorway to the Forerunner Construct of Shield World. This is the "Shield" to the Halo rings "Sword," Unless at the center of the ark is possibly another enterance to the Shield World. -- [[User:Simaster|Simaster]] 03:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

| === Repopulation? ===
| |
| | |
| How did the species hidden in the ark get back to their respective homeworlds after the firing of the Halos? [[User:Lamoid|Lamoid]] 18:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)Lamoid
| |
| | |
| | |
| A better question is, if the Flood can go into a millenia long hibernation of their own will then how did we repopulate so fast if the Flood could easily have still be in the galaxy hibernating until we came back?
| |
| | |
| Perhaps they dont have a natural hibernation and they were kept in stasis by the machines of Halo? I am not sure I am rusty on my history and couldnt really get throught Dietz's book. --[[User:Justin Time|Justin Time]] 21:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

| == Halo inside earth? ==
| |
| | |
| Some people have speculated that there is a halo inside the earth itself, The designs on the outside of the halos, the rings things look exactly like the ark structure, and that the forerunner ship is the key to unlock the halo, or installation 01 the first ring.--[[User:Darth nexes|Darth nexes]] 20:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

| The only thing about that is that the Forerunners had a "Shield" and a "Sword." The Ark would be the sword. The "Halo Bomb Shelter" would logically be the shield. It can defend against Halo.

| == Ark Location ==
| |
| | |
| If the Ark is truly is the structure on Earth, it is not on Mombasa Island, or even Mombasa mainland. It is because the Ark is completely outside the city boundary. I say this is because of what can be concluded from the Halo 3 trailer. In the trailer, the remains of a harp type cable-stayed bridge, similar Kilindini bridge, can be seen. Studying the surrounding terrain, it can be noted that this is not Kilindini bridge, and the Ark is 1-2 km away. Further more, there is a dirt road, (there are no dirt roads in Mombasa); except for the rubble in immediate vicinity of Master Chief, there is no evidence of that there had ever been human built structures; and finaly, there is a different geography and natural flora. The uncovering of the Ark is unrelated to the slipspace detonation caused by Regret's Flagship.
| |
| | |
| :Good point. FYI, the structures in the distance are bridge-like, but are actually parts of the giant tower that fell when Regret's explosion destroyed the base. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="000000">Dragon<font color="FF0000">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 11:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

| == Wondering about Ark... ==
| |
| | |
| Human history began, as far as we can tell, in Africa. Maybe Earth was a last-ditch emergency option. If the rings were fired, and the Forerunner didn't make it to the "Shield worlds", perhaps they left early forms of themselves and other animals on Earth, to hopefully reattain the Forerunner's legacy. Maybe?
| |
| | |
| == Similarity to structure on High Charity ==
| |
| | |
| Doesn't this structure that most assume is the Ark look just like a structure on High Charity? If you look at a picture of the entire city/planetoid of High Charity, you can see a similar-looking structure on the end opposite the broken half with the light/energy-spire. [[User:Whelk|Whelk]] 20:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

| |
| | |
| == Time Gate ==
| |
| | |
| Perhaps the Ark contains some means of time-travel, allowing the Forerunners to travel to the future where the Flood has been starved to death.
| |
| | |
| “This is how it all begins. Just in time to once again dance on the knife-edge of oblivion, to re-live what the Halos had hoped to destroy and more. For two enemies now stand where before there was only one. The fate we escaped a fate we may relive. I almost convinced myself that no one was listening, that the waves of the past had rolled through once again, but a chance remains to change the Universe anew. Learn of our past. Take these keys and dip from the wells of history. Perhaps there are others of us you may find how to save us all.”
| |
| | |
| == Ark on earth? ==
| |
| | |
| Could the Ark be the forerunner structure on earth in the trailer? The Ark is said to be the place where one can remotely activate the rings, thus destroying all sentient life. As the forerunner structure seems to activate on earth in the Halo 3 trailer you hear Cortana say; 'This is the way the world ends' meaning this is how all life is destroyed; by activating the rings from the Ark, and that the forerunner ship is the key to activating it. --[[User:Arbiter117|Arbiter117]]

| ==Server 05/ forerunners aren't humans==
| |

| In server 05 they alluded to the fact that the ark was meant to save the humans from the halos. Interesting concept.[[User:Sgt.johnson|AJ]] 03:01, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| What if the ark is actully Earth, and that it projects some kind of Halo-proof shield over the planet.
| |
| | |
| That would be kind of impossible seeing as how its in the ground. [[User:Sgt.johnson|AJ]] 22:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Just because it's in the ground, doesn't mean it can't be uncovered. The Forerunners were technologically advanced. They could have found a way to make it work.
| |
| | |
| I see your point. But I don't believe that the ark is actually Earth. Because in Server 05 they said that the inhabitants of this world need to be researched; they may hold answers to our own secrets; this building may save them; it will be a wonderful world.Please note that this is not a direct quote. The building is the Ark, the inhabitants are humans, and "this world" is Earth. So, in turn, the forerunners cannot be humans, but the forerunners favored humans. One of my friends came up with a point that maybe humans were saved to get the forerunners out of the Ark. Just sayin. [[User:Sgt.johnson|AJ]] 22:41, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| I'm saying the ark was meant to preserve the humans for eventual study.
| |
| | |
| Interesting theory. So you are saying that the forerunners treated humans like the flood? [[User:Sgt.johnson|AJ]] 22:45, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| No, I'm saying they created a temporary safe zone to keep the humans alive during the halo activation. Maybe they saw a potential in the humans to discover and take over the Forerunners "empire". Sort of like picking a successor to a company before you quit, or in this case, die.
| |
| | |
| hmm. interesting. My personal theroy is that the Ark was made to save humans and the forerunners were grooming humans to take thier place in the galaxy after the flood were gone... which agrees with your theory.

| |
| | |
| Whatever. We supplied them with viewpoints to make their own theories with. That's all.
| |
| | |
| Here is the quote:
| |
| | |
| The anomalous world is in a perilous location beyond the line.<br>
| |
| {The secrets it holds must be preserved.}<br>
| |
| {Plans within plans within plans}<br>
| |
| The inhabitants; these unique denizens, must be researched.<br>
| |
| They may hold answers to our own mysteries.<br>
| |
| {What irony that we discovered this treasure, only at the end of things.}<br>
| |
| {But what fortune that we still had time to save them.}<br>
| |
| The thing we built on that world will vouchsafe their lives,<br>
| |
| {But perhaps one day it will be used for its intended purpose.}<br>
| |
| If the plan succeeds, and they are saved, it will be a good world.<br>
| |
| If the plan fails,<br>
| |
| {And the adversary succeeds,}<br>
| |
| it will remain an enigma forever<br>
| |
| {With no-one left to reclaim it.}<br>
| |
| | |
| We can learn guess the following: 1) Earth was beyond the line of the Halo's but the Forerunners thought it was uninhabited. There are secrets there that most be preserved. The inhabitants, humans, must be studied (meaning Forerunners are not humans). The Ark protected us, but it had another true purpose.<br>
| |
| My guess is Bungie is saying another Biblical references: The '''Ark''' saved us from the '''Flood'''. --[[User:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">Lordofmonsterisland]]</font>[[User talk:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">"Roar to me"</font>]] 23:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

| | |
| I know this mentioned above, but do you think that the "thing" is a portal to the same micro-dyson sphere in Ghosts of Onyx. This would mean that the two functions are teleportation and activation of the Halos
| |
| | |
| == forerunner theory ==
| |
| | |
| My theory is that the forerunners created the flood as a way to become immortal. But something went horribly wrong, the flood developed sentient consciousness and became a parasitecitic void. The forerunners inishal goal was to keep peace in the universe, but over time they became more manlvent. Until they created an omnipotent empire that sought to conquer the galaxy. After they created the flood, their leaders

| realized they could rule the galaxy with the flood. They constructed the seven halos, shield world, and the ARK to not control, but RELEACE the flood, and then use the ark to destroy most of the flood. when seven halos fire, the blast carries cells of flood DNA, so all sentient beings within three radii are turned to flood. The ARK itself is actually control center/weapon, first the ark signals all seven halos, then when the ARK fires, the rings magnify the ark's blast to destroy the flood. They also made it so that the halos '''must be''' on standby phase, the act of onyx being active, and the "'''KEY'''" be used to actvate the ARK.--[[User:Darth nexes|<b><span style="color: purple">Admiral Sozai Nexes</span></b>]][[Image:Legendary.jpg|25px]]<sup>[[User talk:Darth nexes|<b><span style="color: light purple">FLEETCOMM</span></b>]]</sup> 01:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

| The forerunners said that the flood have an extragalatical orgin, and they are confused by them in Iris. They did not create the flood. [[User:Terin|Terin]] 13:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

| ==ARG Coordinates==
| |
| | |
| The article says no location has been released by Bungie but during the course of the ARG we've gotten coordinates to a giant area near Mount Kilimanjaro, which has a giant basin at the top of it. I don't have the coordinates, but was wondering, why are they missing? [[User:Cody2526|Cody2526]] 07:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

| == A theory ==
| |
| | |
| What if the Ark and that thing mentioned in GoO are the same. Like a teleporter. What if the Forerunners build the Ark as a portal for humans to go through to the sheild world and in the sheild world is the place to activate all the Halos. Really why would you go somewhere to active all the Halos if you would be destroyed too. It just doesn't make sense.[[User:Trooper117|Trooper117]] 22:08, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

| :The Ark is over 3 radii out from the galactic centre - well beyond any of the Halo's firing range. That's the point of it - to act as the safe control centre to nuke the galaxy if the need arose and safeguard any sentient species with promise who would otherwise be within the firing range of the Halos.

| Hey i just thought of this, but could Earth NOT be the Ark?but in stead a Gateway of sorts to the Ark? I mean noone really confirmed thething on Earth WAS the Ark, people just had a bunch of evidence, see the scene with the Peli's going from a CCS to what appears to be a Halo? There are 2 crests not one in a ring, but 2. If what i just said is right, then wouldnt Truth's ship in actual fact BE a key, but not the Ark but it's gate way? Hell Humans being called Reclaimers, because they are going to set out and reclaim what was theirs as Gate keepers? If u ask i got the idea from Homeworld 2, dont ask i just did ok?--CHr0n0sPh3r3 12:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)cHr0n0sPh3r3

| | |
| So I've just realized I never looked up during those 5 or so levels, but did anyone else? My question is, where does the daylight that shines on the Ark come from? If it's so far away from the galactic rim that you can see the Milky Way in the sky, how does it seem like daylight on the Installation? Is there a sun floating in the middle of nowhere?[[User:Mr Toad|Mr Toad]] 01:48, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

| Obviously your not looking hard enough, There is a sun on most of the levels and can be seen while on the Halo being eclipsed by one of the Ark's arms [[User:ProphetofTruth|ProphetofTruth]] 21:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

| there was a picture of a hologram of the ark what happened to it?- Croix129
| |
| | |
| still there
| |
| | |
| === Question ===
| |
| If the rings were designed to kill all the food for the flood rather than just killing the flood its self what use would activating the ring above the ark as it would just kil all the humans and covernant but the flood would still be alive just here food would be dead
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==how???==
| |
| first question did the ark build all the halos at that exact location of the ark or did the forerunners build the halos where they are now second question if the the halos were built at the exact location of the ark how would the halos get to there current location

| Someone named that section the Maginot Sphere... Which is speculated to be the name of the dyson sphere, not the Portal. [[User:ProphetofTruth|ProphetofTruth]] 00:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
