When you go into a slipspace portal that transmits you from point A to point B you are entering a portal. The marine portal way was ripping through the fabrics of space with brute force. Now say your in a portal when it collapses. In theory it would not be able to collapse. Instead however if it was a teleporter it would be different. When you rip a hole into slipspace you make an opening and an exit that will be there for just a few seconds. Its not a teleporter way but mearly ripping through the layers of space to get to point B quicker. It would not be able to collapse on you.
However if it was a portal, then the destruction of the ark would close it. Now when you are in a portal, and it closes, you are stopped in neither space nor reality. But a sub space which had made the means of teleporting possible. Now for where amount of space there is there is a subspace for it. Now what if the forerunners knew of this place, and built a planet within it in order to be safe? It would make sense as subspace would only allow those who know its whereabouts within it. A space that cannot be found except by those who know where it is. A perfect base of operations. We know not where the forerunners home world is and neither does the covenant. Their technology is scattered everywhere, but there is only librarys and data on who the forerunners really were. I believe there was no evidence of any forerunner world because they existed in this subspace. They may be dead, or they may be alive, none may know.
Now put into consideration what forerunners are. In my mind, I believe they are a robotic race with living metal to form itself, kinda like a hunter and its worm like occupants. Now imaging this metal being input into the few humans on the planet. The humans seem normal, but their capabilities are beyond that of an average human, giving them a higher percentage of survival for a certain spartan 2 program. Just because of the foreign element within these selected few. It would explain why Master chief is called forerunner, because he has the living metal within him or in his genes. Which would help why most spartans in te books recognized forerunner symbols on covenant technology. It also helps solves how the king beneath the mountain remained shut except for when a spartan approached it. It all comes down to what ONI knows that can break or make this theory. Because without a doubt, they must have found something a long time ago about forerunners. Or else they would not have had things and info like the king under the mountain, or even the mean of translating the stone on one of fall of reaches mission, with that strange stone that was a map. I really dont know how else to approach this, but I believe the statue on epitaph is a forerunner. But because it looks like a monitor in its orb center. Also it would explain the monitor because usually when something creates an AI of itself, it figures it off of itself at first. AKA cortana, and dr.halsey (spelling)
I also believe that the six notes they whistle is not only a secret whistle, but a part of the song heard in epitaph. We have not heard the sound of the whistle itself, but im betting it is the song on epitaph providing a link between spartans, and the forerunners. Also I believe ONI know about the forerunner compound in humans, and Johnson, is one of them. Which would explain why he never got infected. Just a breakdown of my theory, im still working on it.
