The Ark, in the Halo video game series, is a mysterious Forerunner facility from which all the Halos can be controlled. If the naming of the game's enemy, The Flood, is in reference to the biblical Flood, then the Ark may be a place that is safe from the Halos' firing when the Halos are activated. The name is also possibly a reference to the Ark of the Covenant. In the end of Halo 2, Delta Halo is armed and then unexpectedly shut down, causing it to send a signal to all other Halos in the galaxy, putting them on standby mode. 343 Guilty Spark informs the Arbiter, Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Johnson that the Halos can all be remotely activated from "The Ark".
