The ark is going to be like noahs ark. The spelling indicates a ship, a lifeboat. As for the plot, i think it is pretty simple. When you play halo 2, there are many clues given that the profet (most notably truth) knows what the halo rings do and is trying to get to the ark before activating them so he can survive the "flood" to come. Halo is based off of nortic mytholgy and in norse myths are like the bible backwards. The end of the world comes before genesis. The heros in those myths fight on as long as they can until they are finally beaten but something mangages to survive. Undoubtily, we will see some humans make it, which ones, who knows. The plot is going to be a race to stop the activation and/or to survive it. Personally, the better storyline i think is the latter. The real questions to the story is how the elites and the arbitator fit in. The aribator is an interesting name and i think he will play a role in deciding who will go and who will not go into the ark and/or he will be a force of arbitation that will make an allaince with the leftover humans and elites. The irony in his name would really come out. The other, older aribators, used a sword to ... end rebellians. This arbitor will do it in a way that is more acceptable to the term as we know it. Then you have to wonder about cortana and the other spartans and the good doctor and mother of the spartans. Also, the storyline has intallation 4 destroyed, i would think that with it destruction there is a gap in the system if it went off (post trama new story arcs???). Just a theory, though. This could be BS in a year. Forgive my spelling, it is horrible i know.
