Bah. Being unable to make my own thread, i have decided to lay my egg of speculation here.
My theories ALL have to make some sense, remember that. Most of them have some shred of proof behind them. But that applies to everyones theories, not mine.
Anyway, i think:
That the forerunners didn't all die out. Also, the grave mind isnt exactly what we think he might be...Maybe the gravemind isnt a flood. Well, at least not entirely. What if the grave mind is a forerunner, or maybe something controlled by a forerunner, or maybe even a flood version of the forerunners? The cracks in cortanas voice, the Demonish, diablo II duriel sound, then a lighter tone imply that maybe cortana wasnt alone in her discussion, or listening sessions, with the grave mind.
Another point:
Maybe cortana isnt directly being controlled by the gravemind, but instead is a medium of communication. Somehow, though, i think that cortana and the GM might be linked, now. Dont ask me why i think so, but the fact that the quotes used "I am your source, sword, shield, saw your begining/end" etc. imply that the gravemind is speaking, yes, but also cortana. The gravemind isnt exactly a shield/sword of John, but cortana is, in a way. Cortana wasnt made before john and therefore could not have seen his begining. Or maybe cortana has finally come to the end of her 10 year warranty (as all "smart" AI's do) and lost her nut. Who knows.
EPIPHANY!
Relation to the bible time. The ark--noahs ark, as stated previously (at least 1000 times by now) Was made for a purpose. What purpose? You should all know. To survive the flood.
To survive the flood.
Activating the Ark ---earth, will do 2 things, i think.
1: Activate all of the halo's, and as stated "wiping out all sentinent life in the universe"
and
2:Somehow become immune, or somehow protect the earth from the flood. Maybe the earth will spit out a real ark (space time, of course, some sort of forerunner capital ship, maybe?) that protects all inhabitants from the flood. 40days/nights/years later, the ark will remake all life on the galaxy, possibly using some sort of cloning etcetc...
This idea i got from Titan AE, but knowing bungie knowing us, they will definently have unexpected shocks in store for us knowing that we know that we think Titan AE was an influence on H3. Or maybe not.
Thats just my bit of speculation. Back to you, jimmy.
