Translation Software Enacted: Can other places like the ARk be designated with a number by the Monitors? I loved how 343 Guilt Spark just called it "Ark" insteadl of Instillation [Blank]. Translation Complete

Unknown, but I assume that the Halos designation numbers are specific to Halos.

I'm sure that the Ark has a number designation, just as all of the other installations. I would also assume that the Ark would have some sort of Monitor. Maybe it'll be Monitor (whatever name goes here) 7.

i'm a little late in posting this but i've heard that humans could actualy be the forrunners and my theory kinda supports that idea. but first i think that ship in the last cutscene is not the ark i think the ark is the structure on earth. noahs ark was meant to save the animals and people from a flood (sound familier) and the forrunners went to the ark on earth and were saved and started a new civilization but over time the origin of the forrunners was forgotten and transformed into humanity.

so that's my opinion and i know i'm late so no one needs to point that out for me, i've already got it *points at head*

i am such an idiot the second last custscene in h2 when the arbiter answers 343 it cuts top the ark on earth, right? wrong it actually shows the forunner ship first so the ark must be the forruner ship the structure in the clip must be a landing site to activate the ark and save us form flood. my point is noahs ark could move so why can't the ark move it seems very right for the ship to be the ark.
oh and also maybe the ark doesn't activate the halo's it brings the forunners out of hibernation and back to life or it does activate the halos and then brings the forunners back to life. remember noahs ark didn't kill people it saved entire races all of them sentient.


343 said that the Ark remotely activates the Halos. Beat the game and watch the cutscene. Plus, you have no proof that the Halos bring the Forerunners back to life. Plus, Noahs Ark saved his family, and the animals. All of the rest of the humans died.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

No. There is concept art that reads "Earth_Ark_09" on it, and the Ark looks exactly like the one we saw in the trailer. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that thing underground is the Ark.

A lot of people seem to think the two floods go together. I think that The Flood represents sin/demons. They take over posess life, just like sin or demons would. The activation of the Halos symbolize the great flood in the Bible. Think about it. The Ark prtected Noah in the great flood. The Ark in Halo protects life from the Halos

if the forerunner ship is the ark, why wouldnt truth just activate it from there?

why go to earth?

maybe the ship is a component, to the ark thats on earth. i honestly believe the "artifact" in the trailor is the ark

You have a very interesting talent to write long sentences that go absolutely nowhere.

the ark.....lol it's no safehouse..with the destruction of installation 04 the whole halo system wont work to it's full potential...some will be left untouched...the ark itself doesnt have the destructive capibility...it's just a super-massive antenna that relays the go ahead for the halo system to initiate it's lethal wave of energy...but like all other installations it must be activated by a 'reclaimer', in other words a human being. I doubt that the ark will have a monitor, for some reason i believe the thing's purpose was to be the failsafe control centre, or where all the halo-tech was created from...there we will learn how the rings function and exactly who the forerunners where and learn why this whole war between human + covenent is actually happening...where the aliens in halo CE actually trying to seize control + use halo? or did keyes merely assume they'd use it...remember nobody knew what was really going on until cortana explained how the halo system worked...it puzzels me how the covenant can have such understanding of forerunner tech, but fail to deceifer halo's function...was it a new artifact to them too + did the prophets just jump in all of a sudden...? Is it all about truth?? wtf is going on man!! why is truth so hell-bent on destroying all sentient life??? he must freeking know what happens when u set the thing going.

the ark is installation 09
wonder what 07 will be like


Then, you are saying that all Forrunner instillations have a number designation? Because, if not, there were only Seven Halos, so where did you get Nine, from, and what happened to Eight, and don't tell me Seven ate it. Unless Eight was on the path, and Seven ate the path....Only then, will I accept that as even a bit plausable.

Ok if you don't want the truth I won't tell you seven ate it...

The number could refer to the storyboard order. The name of the planet 'earth' could refer to the where your playing. And ark could be the campaign level name. my reason is that on the h2 dvd it said they stuffed up after e3 coming out with a demo not a game. so it may be that are avoiding this mistake and made the level that we watched in the h3 trailer. so there. i hate stupid people. think outside the cylinder man.

Didn't 343, in Halo 2, confirm that the Arkwas on Earth, and had to be activated on Earth? Earth is mobile.

Also, all this speculation is based heavily on the Biblical definition of "Ark", mainly Noah's Ark. Halo does not equal the Bible.

Why do you even care? Is the sky falling? Is the oceans boiling? I think not....if so...where can I find the nearest and nicest Ark so I can go hide in? Basically...Ark = Big Fancy Thingy that Bungie wants to impress us with in Halo 3.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

err...343 appears to refer to everything in such clinical terms (reclaimers, instillations, facilities), why would he refer to the remote activator as the ark? unless ARK stands for something...

In the last cutscene 343 guilty spark says that the ARK is on Earth and the ship was not on Earth at the time and was at High Charity most of the time.
