Subject: Marvin the Martian’s theory about Halo

Halo, a giant ring created for beauty and destruction. What is Halo? This we already know from the first game. It was created as a last resort in combating the Flood. Once activated the Halo would destroy all life in the galaxy and beyond. In the second game we found out that in fact there are 7 distinct Halo rings scattered throughout the universe. We also found out that the Covenant had a Forerunner ship which we were led to believe was the Ark. The Ark is the control center for the Halo Network. These are all the facts, or so far, in the halo world that Bungie has let on in the games and other media sources. Here are some questions for you to ponder while you read this. Why do the Sparks refer to the humans as the Reclaimers? What is the structure on earth? Why did the prophet Regret show up to Earth with such a small force? And what is going to happen with the Covenant Civil War?

Now hold on to your hat, this is the interesting part. If you were going to wipe out your, race would you leave something behind, like a time capsule? I think the Forerunner did this and more. In the Halo 3 announcement trailer we saw a Forerunner structure in a desert environment. Bungie has said in Beyond the Trailer that it was actually located in Africa “the Cradle of Life”. Now after the rings completed their gruesome task, the structure created life here on Earth and the Human race was modeled after the Forerunners. We are descendants of the Forerunner and this why only a human can activate Halo, the Reclaimers.

Just a interesting side nugget, when the Forerunner used the Halo rings that wiped out all life. Then according to my theory life on Earth was created a short time after. Then the human race is older then any for the other Covenant races. But then why are the Covenant more advanced then us? The Dark Ages and Rome. Rome was a incredible society at its peak. Did ya’ll know that they were using and improving on the steam engine and mechanical machines? Now what if the Roman Empire did not collapse that sparked the Dark Ages. Just think were we will be now with technology. Now think how much more advanced we will be in the Halo universe. We could be equally advanced or even more advanced then the Covenant. Then would we even need a hero like Master Chief? I am going to just let ya’ll mole that over in ya’ll’s head for awhile.

In Halo 2 the prophet Regret jumps to Earth with a small fleet. Then later in the game Cortana intercepts a message from Regret stating that he was sorry for approaching Earth so early, asking for forgiveness, and he also said “that no human presence was foretold”. How did Covenant find Earth but not know that we were here? The only explanation I can think of, is that they found Earths coordinates on the Forerunner ship. They found our home world by accident. The Covenant were actually looking for the Forerunner structure. That’s why Regret did not show up with an armada to take on the human race.

At the end of Halo 2 we were left with Master Chief on a Forerunner ship that returned to Earth. Also on that ship is the prophet Truth. If this ship is the Ark, why doesn’t Truth activate the entire Halo network to start his Great Journey? Why does he wait and travel to Earth instead? But on the other hand, they never said that ship was the Ark. What if the ship is just that, a ship. I believe the Ark is that structure shown in the Halo 3 announcement trailer in Africa “the Cradle of Life”. That why Truth has gone to Earth. He is going to the Ark to start the Great Journey.

Now what I think is to come. The Civil war is between two factions the Faithful and the Realist. So that’s what I am going to call them. The Faithful are the Hierarchs, Brutes, Jackals, and Drones. The Realist are the Elites, Hunters, and Grunts. The Elites toward the end of Halo 2 temporary make an alliance with Commander Miranda Keys (Captain Keyes Daughter) to stop Tararus from activating Halo. In the Halo 3 announcement trailer we saw Banshees flying over Master Chiefs’ head. Did they see him, or are they stilled allied and are fighting against the Faithful.

I like how it was said on the behind the scenes video “this adventure will end at the Cradle of Life”. But I believe this adventure, well for us, also started at the Cradle and how fitting for it to end there.

Why would bungie reveal the ark on earth so soon though? Bungie (to me) is the best video game company there is. There the only company that I know that puts secret messages in there games and trailers. either that is not the ark in the video, or that is the ark and the suprise is for the people that think its not the ark.
