[Noah's] Ark
* Is a structure on Earth, maybe twice as wide as the control room.
* Earth as a whole could be the Ark as well, this serves up the possibility for a new theory I came up with:
Whoa...wait a second guys. I never though that only a structure on Earth was the Ark based off of Noah's Ark...and we all know that the control room (which is also an Ark: Ark of the Covenant).
Someone mentioned the dinosaurs...now, I don't think Earth was a full-fledged colony per say, but just a planet the Forerunners controlled (perhaps they vacationed here, or hunted dinos, lol).
So..possibly, since all the larger dinos would be sentient and totally Flood-controllable, maybe the Ark needs to be a structure on Earth, with a shield defending it from the force which scrambles central nervous systems, gaining access through smart brains.
So...the Dinos are all killed by the Rings, the ice age starts, and some of the Forerunners' favorite animals survive along with a group of Forerunners. Not much, but a multiple of two (which is how we think of Adam + Eve, then Noah's Ark with the animals, and the Flood which killed everythigng else).
The iceage could've just been a fluke, or possibly a side effect from the atmosphere changing rapidly, and could've happened everywhere..also, it could've covered up much Forerunner tech, and after the ice age, the Prophets grabbed it and ran.
Ark of the Covenant
* Control room of the main Ark; unleashes all the rings to fire, so this will be the destruction it contains.
* This is the structure we see, it's not a weapon, only a trigger. So the beam of light would just be communications, but it still may be so powerful as to get all the way out to the Halos, it may have damaged the Covenant ships on top of it (or they just got scared of the big glowy thing)
