Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

What if what we refer to as "Shield Worlds" are, in fact, "Waypoints" to be followed on a certain course (Path) that will eventually lead to a final destination and enlightenment.
Maybe this course or Path is what the Prophets mistook for the firing of the Halo's as the Forerunners disappeared after the Halo's were fired and the galaxy re-seeded.
Each Shield world should, in theory, contain a portal that can be directed to the next shield world, and then the next and the next, and so on...
The only evidence of this shield/portal theory is Onyx. And Harvest (as seen in Halo Wars) could be the map room for all the shield worlds.
Just a theory... but it seems to fit somehow.
You may be on the right track. I suspect the answer, if this thread is correct, will be something similar. There are a few wild cars with Halo that may have something to do with this.
The Harvest map room purpose is one.
The "Key" referred to in the Halo Wars time line, as well as the Key of Osalon (I think). The later was a ruse, but what if it had some truth to it? Ackerson had data on the Forerunner, most of it being unknown to us at this point.
But then on this path, there are keepers. Perhaps AI's/monitors? Or Forerunner themselves? What is almost certain is that this path will at one point become Precursor, or lead to a Precursor location.
If you ask me I can already guess the answer to the flood, and how it can be ultimately defeated. I would be money on it seeing as it only seems logical.
