Subject: high charity (not) the ark? SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK!!!

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

why did gravemind go to high charity in the first place? why was the forerunner ship already docked on the thing that looks like the ark? doesn't high charity (when viewed from the side as in most cutscenes) look like a semicircle...or an ark? when arbiter asks where the ark is and the scene cuts to the forerunner ship, is it hinting that it has something to do with the ark? how does 343 know there's only one ark? is it posible that without the forerunner ship to power it the ark cannot activate?

i just thought of these things while browsing the forums, and they are quite logical. i'll probably get flamed for making such a stupid suggestion.

Yes... possible. Possible.

It is very different in design to everything else the Covenant have, that's for sure. And it seemed built to accomodate that Forerunner ship. So maybe it is a forerunner thing.

When you say 'ark' though, the geometery style ark is spelled 'ARC'. However, we have never actually seen it spelled have we? 343GS only said "ark""arc". It could have been either.

So yes, I think you have a point, and I'm not going to look for a way to quash this yet.

I'm not in favour of it, but I wouldn't rule it out!

The semi-circle ark is not ark but arch (or arc)

The Oxford American Dictionary Definition of Ark:
1 ( the ark) (in the Bible) the ship built by Noah to save his family and two of every kind of animal from the Flood; Noah's ark.
figurative a vessel or sanctuary that serves as protection against extinction : a starship ark built by their android protectors.
archaic a chest or box : the ark was of Italian walnut.
a large, flat-bottomed boat. 2 short for Ark of the Covenant .
(also Holy Ark) a chest or cupboard housing the Torah scrolls in a synagogue.

Lol. OWNED!

Seriously i think the forerunner ship is a giant key to the ark. Really no joke.

hmmm...just typed ark into word then looked up synonyms and there were none. when the ark was first mentioned, i pictured a giant ark in the middle of space much like the halos.
maybe guilty spark got ark and arc mixed up? feeble excuse, i know but i don't reckon the ark is a protective safehouse from the halos. maybe that's where the...wait. housing the Torah scrolls? what are they? i think we may be onto something...
