Theory 1: What if the Ark is a counter to the Halos activation, for example the Halos affect everyone but the Flood, so maybe the Ark is a weapon similar to the Halo except it destroys the spreading flood, maybe the forerunners used it to defend themselves against the infestation but failed to activate/complete it on time.

Theory 2: The Ark is a program or structure that holds the power to cancel the activation of the Halos. Think of it as a last result, the forerunners were genius so maybe the thought of the possibility of the Halos powers falling into the wrong hands so they created a program or key to counter the programming of Halo, as an abort system.


Discuss :D

Since the forerunners have the ablility to wipe out all life in the galaxy then why dont the have the ability to make a safe haven of some sort. I think the Ark was made as a uni-trigger for the halos and to keep their race from being completely destroyed.

I think theory #2 seems the most plausible. But it would probably have to be an AI. Who would want to sit in "the Ark" and do something in case some meddler activates Halo?

Then again, the Forerunner(at least not their AIs), don't really care whether the Halos are activated Flood outbreak or no. It seems implied.

In case there are no "reclaimers", the Monitors do have a special protocol to carry out the activation anyway. Although it'd be kind of pointless either way.

I am...whimsical today.

The Ark is used to activate the whole Halo Network if needed. I doubt it would contain anything to purposefully disrupt that.

My own speculation is that it is a Genetic Library (check the little definition on the Halo Xbox Forums)

Yeah the Monitor clearly states that it activates all the Halos
