Ok, so lets go over a possible story before the halo(s) were/was last fired. (I just added the 's' in case they might've activated more than 1 Halo).

The Forerunners were at war. For years, this war raged on, with different weapons being created to battle the other race. The Forerunner's enemy/enemies eventually created a great weapon; The Flood.

Programmed into The Flood's DNA was the instinct to infect Forerunners and other sentient life, mutate and control them. Somehow, the Forerunner's enemy/enemies found a way to make the Flood not infect them.

Eventually, the Forerunners managed to catch some live Flood types and examine them, to try and find any way to kill them easily. After many years of research, no easy way was found.

The Forerunners still at war with their enemy/enemies, were determined to not let them win the war at all costs. There was something about the enemy/enemies' intentions which meant the Forerunners could stop at nothing to make sure their enemy/enemies didn't get what they wanted.

The Halos were built as research facilities and weapons. As a weapon, a Halo could wipe out all sentient life within range of 25 000 light years. This meant it could wipe out the Flood's food, and therefore starve the flood race.
A Halo, would be used as a last resort, when the Forerunners knew that they could not win the war, but HAD to stop their enemy/enemies. The Ark was also built. The Ark was a place that any of the Halos could not affect. It was built, as a fallback point for any surviving Forerunners.

Eventually, the Flood had consumed most of the Forerunner race, and they were forced to go to The Ark and activate the halos. The Halos killed all sentient life outside of The Ark, meaning their enemy/enemies.

The Flood, still roamed the galaxy, looking for beings to consume. There were also still live flood kept in storage on the Halo facilities. The Forerunner species, stayed in the Ark, until the entire Flood race would starve, and become extinct. This became thousands and thousands of years.

Forerunners are inside the Ark.

Too many words...
But yes thats pretty cool man, it's always possible.
With Bungie, Anything is possible. There could be a giant Bigfoot in there if they wanted to!
But forerunners suit the storyline a bit more dont you think?
