I think he said that's how far they were from the galactic center, I don't remember him saying they were outside the Milky Way, and even if the Ark is outside the Milky Way, I don't think it'd be that far, probably along the fringes of it. Oh, and just another random point of interest, you don't have to outside of a galaxy to be able to see it, like for instance we can see the Milky Way with the naked eye here on Earth IIRC. Now the Ark is obviously much further out than Earth, since you can see the Milky Way (I think that's the galaxy you see in the sky after landing anyway) in the sky in broad daylight. [/quote]
Considering our galaxy is approximately 100 000 light years in diameter, it doesn't really change anything if Spark meant the galactic centre. If that's true, then Chief is still 118 000 light years away from home.
I know the galaxy can be observed from within, but not in the scale seen on The Ark. I'm not good in math, but I think we see the whole galactic body, not just a spiral arm or something.

I don't think that the Halos really do any damage to things with their pulse when fired, well other then completely destroy Precursor stuff, I think it only kills life because it's a pulse that affects neurons in the brain or something like that.
Must not some kind of radiation carry the pulse? Plus, when -blam!- hit the fan and everything exploded SOMETHING must've hit the frigate. Parts from the destroyed Halo was sent flying in all directions, and the hangar was filled with some kind of powerful light or gas.
