I still say that cheif could have gone back in time, because he could have caused the alliance to form in the first place
and when you think about it, it seemed like he kind of expected the replacement halo ring to appear. When the Arbiter said "A replacement, for the ring you destroyed." Chief replies "When did you know." like he already knew, and he just wasn't sure how or when the arbiter had found out.
for reference, here's a link to the cutscene on youtube-
replacement halo cutscene
nope pretty sure he is talking to 343 guilty spark. he assumes he knew about the reconstruction of installation 04 for some time.
I believe this to be the real reason the Guilty Spark helped master chief in hope of getting his ring back. This could also explain why he attacked him when he said he wanted to destroy his ring yet again.
Spark helped John because (since Installation 04 was destroyed) his only function left was to help the Reclaimer. Spark had absolutely no knowledge about the Ark, he had no idea that it was creating a new Halo Ring because he only found out at the end of The Ark (mission).
Know because he knew about the ark for ever since he mentions it at the end of Halo 2. Also I believe he knew more about the functions of the ark then people knew, which would be why he might have used John so he could get his ring back. Also they did have some common goals. Such as destroying the flood.
Spark knew the Ark existed, but he had no idea what it was, he says it himself that he assumed it was a Shield World but was mistaken.
He did not know that the Ark was remaking Installation 04 until he examines the Cartographer, there was no gain in using humanity to get him to the Ark when he could have gone with the Covenant (who got there first).
