Alright, to start, I do not believe the Ark is a safe haven from the activation of the Halo rings. one has to look at it from that point of view to understand my view.

Now, since the last activation about 100,000 years has past. According to Cortana, the rings only destroy Sentient life. Sentient is decribed as being able to "feel." To me, this speaks of a race with actual intelligence, like humans and leaves out animals and obviously plants.


Back to theory:
So, if this is true, then perhaps life still survived on the planets like Earth and High Charity.
Perhaps, we can actually look towards the theory of evolution to describe how humans evolved and what exactly has occured. If you look at the books, they keep a good deal of the real past [Spartans and other tactical battles from out history] Now, if Bungie went this route, it actually would make some sense.

Now, life would have a reason to return and begin again. However, this lacks to form a connection between humans and the Forunners. Well, what if, very much like the monkey, we were closely related to the forunner, but not a sentient being yet. I feel like im talking on a planet of the apes, however we could be there ancestors in a matter of speaking and closest to their old structure. Since so much time has past, we have evolved[maybe with their help] and have become a sentient life form. Now this really is a theory...because it depends on what you interpret the word sentient to mean. Still, I think its an interesting thought and I am glad i finally got the time to organize it.

Let me know what you think.

Now, begs the question of what exactly is the Arks other purpose if any? Perhaps, it is simply a control room for the Halos and that is all. We will have to wait and see.
