Subject: Unsolved Mysteries in Halo 3?

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

On the mission, the Ark, there are dozens of Sentinels that rise up out of nowhere and seem to have some sort of unknown mission. Guilty Spark doesn't know what it is.

What were those Sentinels doing?


If you read the terminals you'd see that Guilty Spark talks to the ancilla of the Ark.
Here is what follows:

04-343 (errant): I have told you who
I am. Who are you?
All our makers once held dear.
[Alexandria before the Fire].
04-343 (errant): Sincere apology.
But how --
Explanation: This facility is host
to the [Librarians'] final --
04-343 (errant): The archive is
intact?! Then our makers' plan --
But also maintains [bellows, crucible,
castings]
04-343 (errant): A what?
[bellows, crucible]--
04-343 (errant): A Foundry?
04-343 (errant): For what purpose?!


What's the archive? It was apart of the Librarians' final plan which would involve cateloguing and saving species.
Here is what I believe it may be:
All DNA samples of all species that were saved on the Ark
DNA,embroyes, etc. of Forerunners
The forerunner's history.

And what is the Foundry?

Also when 343 asks the ancilla who it is it replies "All our makers once held dear." What exactly does this mean?


I feel like these may be explained in Cryptum 2 and 3 but I hope it's something huge. Also I hope the Ark survived 04-2's explosion and was repaired by Sentinels.

the Sentinels were most likely going to the foundry or the cartographer.


Yes it was archiving all the races she had collected over the "galaxy", and i highly doubt she would have said any detailed forerunner history.

343 was talking to MB (Duh), and the foundry is the object in the middle of the Ark. And from details after halo 3 bungie said the Ark was destroyed (what a waste).

Next.

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

The threads are getting out of hand, Joshua. Its becoming borderline spam. (which is, I remind you, against the rules)

But since its a legitimate question: The sentinels were likely headed off to the foundry, a massive, carved out planet the Forerunners used to build Halos.

"All our makers once held dear" is likely talking about the Mantle (the code that all Forerunners followed, past down to them by the Precursors and to us by the Forerunners, which states all life is sacred). But it could refer too life in general.

And the Ancilla she's talking too, if memory serves correctly, is Medicant Bias. Not necassarily the Ark's Ancilla, but one far more powerful then a monitor.
