Well, just to expand on your theory... my theory is that the ARK is creating a giant slipspace, which is the whirling vortex in the sky in the trailer. This explains why nothings getting sucked in, or why theres no wind, like we'd expect from a storm(they're not under the eye of the storm). I believe the forerunners built it to be the vessel for the great journey... the great journey being the escape from this region of space before the Halos were activated 9which we know from halo 1). I believe the ARK remotely activated the halos after the forerunners went through that slip space. Also, the halos kill all life, but they don't necessarily destory planets or other forerunner structures. This explains why theres only flood left on the halos, and why the ARK is still left, as well as all the forerunner technology the COV took.
This also explains why the spark from HALO 1(the floating robot, i forgot his name) knows that the halos have been activated once, but also why he hasn't seen any forerunners there, but wants the Halo to be activated again since there are still flood remaining.
The prophets either know the truth and are using it to kill humans, the descendents of the forerunners, so they can be all powerful or they just misinturpreted the forerunners great jpurney as ascension to heaven.
