So I was rewatching it again... and something struck me as odd. A hole in the
: "Ark". This hole is there when the panels are down, and when
: they're up. It is the source of the "beam", and seems to
: possibly be an entrance.

: Tell me what you think!

I totally think that the Forerunner ship is meant to dock with the Ark. Why else would Truth go tearing toward our planet with a ship that FITS INTO THE HOLE?!

I mean, as those who have seen the Halo 2 cutscenes involving the vessel would know, it has 3 thruster/pointy things. It's easy to see in the Halo 3 trailer that, when the Ark opens up and that blue light starts coming out, there are 3 separate panels and therefore 3 gaps between them, laid out in the exact same shape and configuration as the ship.

Also, we have to remember the size of said ship. The Holy City of High Charity has to be pretty damn big (looks like a hemisphere of a moon, for Pete's sake) and the ship takes up a pretty big chunk out of the hemisphere's base surface area. A chunk that probably fits right into the Ark, nice and snug. Now, is it LIKELY that this is mere coincidence? Yeah, no.

I suggest that the ship is some sort of component of the Ark- maybe just the garage door remote, considering that the Ark only just opened when the ship got to Earth. I mean, if the Ark and Halos are so important to the Covenant, why in the world would they keep an enormous ship in their capitol city for any other reason? Sure, maybe the birds can poop on it, but there has to be a reason for it being there other than decoration. It must've taken up a lot of space that could have been used for buildings.

And what if the forerunner ship has to land on the ark (not yet sure if it is ) like it's a dock for the ship and both of them together is the ark or make's a gun to shoot the moon to reveal the ark ?

Off topic, but why have you made at least 3 threads in 10 minutes?

I see my theory became popular in the space of...10 minutes ; )

Another thing about those birds you got in HALO 2. When you go on the level REGRET, there are fish and those weird bird things. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Halo wipe out all life? Why are there fish on em then!!!!

same reason humans are alive, not evolved enough to be infected by flood, therefore not killed when rings set off, then they evolved into fish and birds and humans

i just thought that the "artifact" and the foreunner ship could be a key . like the ship lands on/in the "artifact" and opens a lock . hmmm....

hmmmm, meh, its not a key, the hole is a gun point, about the send the signal to the other rings to fire, the trailer is the alternate ending if u fail a mission, like with the maw in halo 1, if u fail a mission to stop truth, you get this cut sense, and then game over
