There have been many elaborate speculations and analyses made regarding the origin of 343 Guilty Sparks name,history and motives. The most notable question what is he guilty of?

History is easy, the Forerunners made him to keep the Flood alive without letting them take over the galaxy, although why the Forerunners wanted this is another, much longer discussion. His motives are to do exactlly what the Forerunners programmed him to do. The number for his name is easy, Bungie likes 7, he is on Installation 04, 4-1=3, 7 to the 3 power is 343. The guilty part might be reffering to his guilt of killing the Forerunners, because they were killed by the Halo rings.

If you think any of this is inaccurate, please message me, tell me the problem, please give good reasons, and list your sources if appropriate.

The Forerunners died quite a long time before early humans, and there are theories that the Ark mentioned in Halo 2 kept a bunch of species alive for the first activation of the Halo rings, and Humans are the second evolution of Forerunner, although nothing released by Bungie has proven this yet.

im not even going to speculate about this beyond the fact that i think the forrunner named him guilty, becuase they were guilty this [creating the rings] was the only option to stop the flood. Oh, and id just like to say the moniter of installation 05 (delta halo) is called Penitent Tangeant.
just for all those not so smart ones...

Wat species were kept alive by the Ark


i believe it was the forerunners. theyir homewirld was spared, but their culture was decimated. they had to relearn everything. in time, they regained space travel, and started colonizing ther worlds, many of them previiously inhabited because their ancestors ruled the stars. they rediscovered the halos as a result of a losing war with the covinant, a band of races who swear by the forerunners. knowing that the humans are actually their holy forerunners (maybe angry at them) or not, they try to wipe them out. the humans had long forgotten about the flood and the rings ,except for some garbled ancient stories (possibly noah's ark?)guilty spark alludes to thbe fact thet humans are the forerunner many times in the library. play itand pay attention to what he says.

Read that before writing anything about the forerunner or the ark.

Actually I've been thinking baout Genesis in relationg the Ark and the reseeding theory.

They fit well together, "god" created man in his image(support for human=forerunner theory), and also created all of the animals. Well, this could be seen as the Forerunner(they didn't survive, but their robots) growing humans and all other animals in Earth's Ark/pod. The story of "The Flood" may be an account of the Flood Wars, just twisted and changed through re-telling untill it was finally put down on paper.

Just a thought, sorry for getitng off track but this thread is already long detrailed.
