Subject: Something odd I noticed involiving both The Ark and the Master Chief!

Posted by: Duardo
I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

If you guys rmember in both Halo 1 and Halo 2 the humans are often efered to as Reclaimer by the moniters of Halo.

Humans are also the only ones who can activate the rings. Now there is what I'm going with this, if you lok at the Halo 3 E3 trailer The Covenant are all heading for the crater because they found something.

But, when the Master Chief walks up to the cliff "The Ark" then opens up (because he is Reclaimer/Human).

Again this kind of supports the theory that the humans are direct descendants of the Forunners.

What do you think?

I don't think that is possible because The Ark didn't open up untill the Master Chief showed up.

If the Ark opened just because a Human walked near it, then wouldn't it have logically opened up before? I'm sure that at least one Human walked near the Ark at one point in time.

I think it was for dramatic effect. The ships were closer then the chief. The thing was seeming to fire. And the thing was probally underground and humans probally been closer to it then the chief before. So it must be something else. Aww you beat me to it Satan.

All the humans in the area were wiped out by The Covenant (the majority of them killed in the slipspace jump in Halo 2).

343 Guilty Spark states: "failsafe protocol, in the event of an unexpected shut down, the installation will move to standby status. All installations are now eligible for remote activation."

If that's the Ark, it just "moved to standby status."

Wouldn't it have been opened up a long time ago, though?

Wouldn't the Ark would have been opened if a Human was near it right after Cortana ended the activation of the first Halo in Two Betrayels?

Nope, becaues how could it when it was buried 10,000 feet underground.

Cortana did not end the activation of installation 04 at all because she removed the index after the Master Chief insrtd (basicly it wasn't activated at all).

Remember when "Regrets" ship when through slipspace in New Mombasa in Halo 2, and then everything when BOOM!!!!!!!!!!

Thats how The Ark was uncovered, so prety much the Master Chief is looking at the rmains of New Mombasa.

Remember when GS said that the rings destroyed all life with sufficient biomass? well, since the forerunners obviously had incredible technology (according to the books even time-space warping technology) the ncould it be possible the humans were engineered by the forerunners from a very early evolutionary stage? At the current moment in time to the forerunner, the didn't have sufficient biomass, but were engineered a certain way so they evolved specifically into humans, giving the monitors something familiar to look for. Also, anyone remember GS saying "You once asked me, if it were up to me, would I do it? Having considerable time to ponder your question I have..." Basically, when did GS speak to MC in the past about this?

one more thing, what if the ark isn't the fore runner ship, but earth itself?

Well we don't know that the Humans are the only ones who can activate it. We just know that Brutes can't, and Humans can.

They were trying to capture a dramatic moment..

I'm guessing someone (wether it be Arby+Johnson, or another Spartan) went down there, and they were activating it..maybe Chief was linking up with them?

You know, the 'time travel' (which isn't really travel, it's bringing 2 places in Space closer together, with the help of mass.) in Halo is based off of Einstein's theory of Relativity, correct?
