==Contradiction to Cradle of Life Comic==
==Contradiction to Cradle of Life Comic==
The story presented in the [[Terminals]] and the rest of the Halo trilogy is contradictory to the [[Halo 3: The Cradle of Life]] comic, where humans are shown to be existing on the planet when Forerunners arrived to build the portal to the ArkThis is likely an error on the part of the ad campaign that featured the comic.
The story presented in the Terminals and the rest of the Halo trilogy is not contradictory to the Cradle of Life comic.  Terminal Four states "I'm trapped. On a beautiful, empty world. Its inhabitants have been safely indexed, every single one of them. They're special--well worth the effort it took to build one final gateway even at this late hour." The Earth is empty because all humans have been indexed on the Ark.  Furthermore, the Librarian is concerned with indexing sentient life, not non-sentient life.  This leaves little doubt that humans are the "them" referred to in Terminal Four.


Further evidence of contradictions:  In the Halo 3 level [[Cortana]], [[Gravemind]] proclaims the following to Master Chief: "Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness, for the sins of the father are passed to the son".  From Guilty Spark: "You may be Forerunner, but this is my ring."  Further evidence is provided by the Prophet of Truth, in his need for human hands to activate Forerunner technology and in what he says.  In addition, Halo 1 and 2 both have significant clues as to the relationship, particularly in the comments made by Guilty Spark.
