I think this is not 100% cortana speaking, it has to be the Gravemind. Cortana would'nt give up so easily on Master Chief and mandkind. Or eles, Halo would of ended in CE.

HOPFULLY, Halo won't be over at Halo 3. It can't be, atleast I hope not. I seen the trailer and was in a can't wait mood, but it isnt the same way feeling. When Halo 2 was announced, you felt ready to fight, ready to go to war. Halo 3's trailer made me feel, like I had some unfinished business and it was going to be my last unfinished business, like Halo is going to end, forever, thats it. I guess we just need to accept this? It isnt like the Lord of the Rings, The return of the king, its the end of a great gaming history...

To those of you unfamiliar with the release of Halo 1, there were these little things called the Cortana Letters. For those interested, I strongly suggest that you check this link. Basically, they are letters from someone claiming to be Cortana. This was before the relase of Halo 1, and so there was alot of speculation at the time. This is from one of those emails.

I have walked the edge of the Abyss.
I have governed the unwilling.
I have witnessed countless empires break before me.
I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.
[I was there with the Angel at the tomb]

I have seen your future.
And I have learned.

There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.

I HAVE WON.

Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.


Again, I strongly suggest that you check the link.

maybe it is gravemind speaking through her

You notice the deep undertones in the voice too? Sounds Gravemindish.


I kind of doubt that its gravemind. Gravemind seemed to be more of a biological creature that couldn't posess a computer program

Bull. she says
"I have defied gods and demons."
"I am your fealty-I am your source."
"I know you. Your past. Your future."
"This is the way the world ends."

Apparently she is under the impression that she has MC's fealty... we'll see

you know, to me it sounds like Cortana says, instead of "I have defied/defined gods and demons", It almost sounds like to me "I have defied gods weak humans". But then again, i don't think that Bungie would put something like that into the trailer, and i am probaly just hearing things. Oh well, tally-ho

At one point in history, the terms Gods and Demons were interchangable. It is only recently that Gods has become holy, and Demons satanic. Maybe cortana didnt mean demons at all in her little monologue in the trailer.

I also dont think that the thing that is activated is the ark. We all know that Halo is biblical. In the bible, there are two arks. The Ark of the covenant, and Noah's ark. Noahs ark carried the animals over the flood. in genesis, it gives exact measurements of the ark in cubits, which are subjective: 300x50x30. Three hundred long, 50 wide, 30 tall. A cubit is the length of a mans fingers to his elbow, about 1.5 feet. that ark is pretty darn small for a spaceship. But just a little later on, it says that the flood rose 15 cubits to cover the mountains. I have seen the mountains in queston. They are a lot bigger than fifteen cubits. If we use that same ratio, than that is a sizable ship, more than large enough to carry the earth ecosphere in genetic form.

The ark of the covenant was the golden box that the hebrews carried the ten commandments in. It was what Indiana Jones was after. I think that when 343 Guilty Spark refers to protocals, he is refering to those stored in the ark. The ark may be the forerunner equivalant of a floppy disk or external hard drive.

I think that if you look at the design of the earth artifact, you see how similar it is to High Charity's forerunner landing pad, albeit without giant pillars. There is even a whole in the clouds like the one in High Charity's ceiling. I think that the earth artifact is a landing pad that summons the Noahs ark.

The only thing I cant figure out is how Noahs ark leads to the Ark of the Covenant, necessary for activating the halo installations. Any thoughts?
