What is it that the Master Chief is reclaiming? In Halo: Combat Evolved, we all remember how 343 was relieved at 117s appearance due to his being human, but what he asked of John was the destruction of all sentient life, not the reclamation of anything. Surely, the allowance of the Flood to reign unopposed throughout the galaxy is not why 343 referred to the Chief as such. Could Halo 3 consist of Spartan 117 fulfilling his duty as reclaimer; if so, then what would he be reclaiming? Is there a hidden alternative to wiping out the Flood other than that of the Halos? Maybe the Forerunners left the Ark as a means of protection for the next sentient life? Maybe that's what the Ark is - a gift. Possibly, maybe; who knows? If I made you anticipate more intensely, even for a second, the final cutscene in Halo 3, then I've done what I came here to do. Think.
Speculation, speculation, speculation...
