after thinking I came to the almost exact same conclusion, put it below to compare...I thought I was the first person with this idea but it has been concieved weeks before, sorry bro you aren't the first but it's the thought that counts, props.
Edit: yeah, pretty close

Think about this in biblical terms, since we know how much Bungie loves to make refrences. In the Bible, the Ark was built by Noah to protect a certain number of people from the great flood.
The Ark as found on earth in the Halo storyline could be used to protect a certain number of humans from the Flood.
What if the forerunners designed an artifact that could withstand Halo's blast, allowing a select few people to survive? They may or may not have used it, but considering the worsening situation of the flood infestation of the galaxy, pretty much the only way to stop them is to activate the remaining Halos; those who did it remotely from the Ark would survive the blast and, consequently, the Flood. It may sound like a stretch but I firmly believe it will happen since there seems to be no other way to stop the Flood.
