Why would the Forerunner hide a Halo/Ark under the Earth? If this Halo and our Earth or Ark was to serve the purpose of being the final bastion in all the galaxy for the Forerunner. And the beings that are threatening the destruction of the Forerunner (the Flood) are capable of sentience as well (Gravemind and Keyes). And are contained within the very structure designed to both contain and study them. And should they ever escape, starve them. It would of been extremely short sighted on the part of the Forerunner to not build a containment field and weapon system into the very stronghold they intend to make their last stand in if ever the unthinkable happened.

For example we have an out break of Flood on Halo 04, the consequence of this is the evolution of a particular Flood form into the Keyes pilot Flood form who many think, evolves over time into Gravemind. It seems that Keyes was selected because of his navigational knowledge and abilities, After all he is a Career Captain for the UNSC If this being has access to the teleportation systems of the Halos as seen in Halo2 and the ability to order an army of Flood around to do his biding in an almost telepathic attempt to pre-empt the movements of the Master Chief as we read in “The Flood” and again see in Halo2, This Flood form could in theory also use its sentience to systematically take all the systems that the Halo’s firing sequence relies upon off line.

In Halo CE the Flood’s plan and priorities were clear. Firstly to destroy and absorb all sentient opposition. Secondly to achieve a level of sentience in order disable the Halo. Thirdly to commandeer a slip-space capable vessel in order to repeat this process on the other Halos as the Flood and definitely Gravemind seem to know that no one on any of the other Halos. Except for the human reclaimers have the authority to activate the ring worlds and ultimately starve them. If this were to of happened the Flood would of eventually made their way to Earth with all the Halo’s offline, and infected our world as well. Though as far we now know the Master Chief spoiled this plan. Although if there were no Master Chief and the Flood commenced this very logical plan of self preservation, what good is a control room or an Ark for that matter when there is no sentient specific super weapon system for it to control.

Here in lies the reason I believe this dome structure is a part of a Halo and what we are seeing activated is a shield system that serves the purpose of protecting those with in the hidden Halo under our Earth from the effects of both our Halo and the remaining functional Halo’s firing effects. Also I believe the activation of a containment field so as to prohibit the contamination of our entire planet by the Flood is essential so that the survivors can return to an uninfected Earth after the Floods starvation. It really is that simple, anything else would be like sitting in a bomb shelter knowing your enemies are out there and looking for you and nothing but their own starvation is going to stop their search, and all you have is cans of baked beans, fresh water, warm clothes, a radio, holographic wall displays, artificial habitats, and other modern connivances that might make life comfortable, but no weapons or anything at all effective to defend yourself with from this unstoppable enemy. That sounds a lot like stupidity to me and I don’t think the Forerunner were stupid.

For People Who Can't Understand Here is the Equation

Dumb Infection Flood Form Contained in Halo
+
Uninformed Uninfected Sentient Life Form Equipped With Slip Space Capable Vessel Releases Flood Infection Form
=
Semi Sentient Flood Combat Form
+
Infected Sentient Captain, Navigator and Engineer
=
Intelligent Flood Pilot Form with knowledge of what Threat Halo Poses It
+
Huge Army of Combat, Infection and Carrier Forms
=
Organized Calculated Sentient Flood Resistence Disabling Halo
+
Disable Slip Space Capable Vessel
=
Repaired Slip Space Capable Vessel
+
Knowledge of the Location of the Other Halos
=
Flood Campaign to use Slip Space Capable Vessel to Disable Other Halos
+
All Halos Disabled
=
Flood Armada Makes A Move to Earth/Ark
+
Humans Discover Ark But it Does Nothing Because Other Halos are Offline
=
All Humanity and Earth Infected

Hope everyone understands what I'm trying to say.

Thats just silly, cause all the magma would ruin the Halo enviornments...

It makes much more sense for it to be a large instellation, why would you put a large ring within the planet anyway?

Your theory = poo, well only the part when you keep saying there's a whole Halo under Earth...the other stuff is true (Flood stuff)

  • 05.26.2006 5:30 AM PDT

The ARC is under earth. It wouldn't make sense for there to be another halo. Halo's function is to contain the flood for research. Why would the forerunners put one on earth when they came to earth running from them after activating the halos? (Guilty Spark 343 said the halos have been activated once) (The word forerunner means ancestor and predecessor)

now now chewbacca (great name btw) theres no reason to say his theory= poo

halo empire even tho i dont think theres a halo in the earth, i do appreciate all the thought and hard evidence you have. the thought of it being true would be a fresh and interesting twist to a great trilogy, but alas we all have our opinions, including myself. i believe that the thing in the trailer is the ark, nothing more. i think the other 6 are strewn about

keep the thoughts comin tho

Everyone keeps saying humans are "Fore-runner", they have been called "Reclaimer" but who's to say that's the same as a Fore-runner. Maybe Reclaimers were the species chosen to inherit or "Reclaim" the fore-runner technology once they were gone.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

did 343 ever actually mention the word 'forerunner'?

another theory: earth has another high charity under the surface!
what is hc anyway?

Earth Distroyed? Do you not pay attention. The Halos only kill sentiant life the last time it was activated.

Although it would be logical to assume the Flood would want to destroy the Halo's, in order to perserve themselves, we see little evidence of them taking that action. In Halo CE, the Floods seemed more interested in escaping the installation with the ships- presumably to spread the infection - than actually disableing the ring.

In any case, the theory about the Flood is not the problem. I still don't get why the Forerunners would need to build a ring under the earth, and not a sphere or oblong. MUST it be a ring inside the Earth? That is the part of the theory that isn't sound.

i have often thought about it and it does make since that the earth would be the Ark but i do not beleive the forerunners ever used it instead it would seem they fled to a distant galaxy or the outer edge of ours it would seem to me though that the forerunner race would not just die off like they apear to have without going out with a bang it does not seem possible that such a weak force as the flood could wipe them out i mean look just how the master cheif plows through them with no problems only using primative weapons and armor i have thought about it alot cause i dont have anything to do right now but i think that earth was only a hub for the forerunners to live on until they could get past a blockade of their own ships controled by the flood if you have noticed the flood retain the knowledge of their hoste bodies and pass it on among the other flood like in Halo 2 they slip spaced into the covenant city ship i expect that the forerunners attuned one of their crystals like the one found underground to kill the flood parisites and managed to make a weapon to kill them

ok it is not a halo that the covenat found under the surface of earth, it is the ark, a forerunner building used to activate all halo's by remote activation. that is why in the end of halo 2 truth went to earth. and why the convant were surprized to find humans on earth and why regret landed in new mombasa because that is were the ark is hiden, it is not a friggin halo

just because the ring would be inside the earth does not mean that it is deep enough to reach the mantle

Okay, pretty well thought out, except the Halo in the Earth part.
There is a Forerunner object in/on the Earth, but a Halo?

First:

Consider a Halo in the Earth. Halo has it's own atmosphere, dirt, oceans ect...Why would you dump untold millions of pounds of earth in and around the Halo? That kind of.....obseletes the purpose of a Halo, doesn't it? A Halo is a fortress world, ment to contain something, and be totally self sufficent? Why burry it in space? The Forerunners built the Halos with a specific purpose, and contrary to some beliefes, it wasn't to be burried.

Second:

We know there are seven Halos overall...One of them is destroyed. Both in the last cutscene of Halo 2 and from the books, and Halo 1 the proof is there. Where are you pulling this magical eighth halo from?

"the only thing we have to fear is fear it self..... and monsters"

I belive that there is a possiblity of there being a Halo burried on earth. but i think it is more likly the arc. in halo 2 at the end right before the ring was about to be unleashed on the galexy the index was pulled out of the controls 343 guilty spark said that what had just happened is that delta halo had sent out a beckon to all the other halos for emergency shut down or fire commande. (i can't remeber what he said exactly.) I think the the beam we saw in the trailer that came form the Arc or supposid Halo was a reply. I think that reply is from the control room of the Arc to give the final commande to fire all the rings on demande. Maybe the Arc is a Halo but it was hidden incase the flood ever had a major out break.

"the only thing we have to fear is fear it self..... and monsters"

But its entirely possible that it is another Halo Maybe this Eigth Halo is the Arc. No one ever said what kind of form the Arc would take. for all we know the pyramids in egypt could be part of the Arc. we just don't know what it is. In my opinion i think its in the form of a hidden Halo.
