Subject: How did the other species of life survive?

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

How did all the species like the Prophets, Humans, Sanghelis and such survive the blasts from the Halo rings when the Forerunners set them off?

If I am right, which is... probable... its the Ark (Installation 00) and/or the halo rings themselves.

Their DNA was stored and then once the rings did their job, they reseeded life accordingly.

The Ark like somebody else said.

If you don't know what the Ark is... You need to pay attention to the Halo 3 campaign at the VERY least.

Banana. I'm absolutely sure you know the answer to this question already.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

I know what The Ark is I just don't know how it seeded life back into the galaxy. And if the humans survived through the Ark what about the Forerunners that were on it?

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Halo: Legends has a chapter on this topic. The forunners in a way re seeded the life they destroyed after the flood got taken down by the Halos.

Basically, the Librarian and her Life workers catalogued all the species in the galaxy, took samples, DNA, live specimens, stored them on the Ark, when the Halo array fired, Forerunner ships reseeded life in the galaxy once more.

->Most died
->Some fled
->Some were confirmed to survive (I do remember one source)
->Some implanted themselves into machines

We still don't know any specifics for any real, surviving Forerunner, yet.

They were preserved on the Ark. The Forerunners then re-seeded the galaxy. And left.

No specific answer to this question has been given yet and we've been asking it for more than a decade.

There have been a few conflicting bits of information but when we get down to it no one is really sure.

This has been confirmed as FALSE since Halo 3's release in 2007...

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.

The species were placed on the Ark and were reseeded on their respective home-worlds after the array fired.
