Well, here what i think: What if the ark wasn't meant to save those who were inside it but instead it was a vault where the DNA of every known (to the forerunners) species were kept?In that case maybe the ark was meant to recreate those species after some time when the flood would be dead.Even more,perhaps it was programmed to send the new created species back to their home planet in order to evolve again and start over.(inside a space shuttle)They also kept their DNA so that they would also be reborn(perhaps as the human race)!!That means that all known races (covenants, forerunners etc)--i believe the covenant races allready existed but in a primitive state--would have to start again and repopulate the galaxy that was stripped from sentiend life.Why do i think that?Well according to the most popular theories only humans survived the activation of the halos 100,000 yrs ago.In that case the amound of time for the covenant species to appear (through evolution) and reach their present state would be very small--100,000yrs compared to the 65,000,000 yrs that took mammals on earth to evolve into the species we know today--But if my theory is correct then humans(forerunners?) and covenant allready existed ,and were recreated, so the amound of time would be enough.Also that fits to the theory that there is only one ark and to the biblical theories(Noah saved ALL species,not only humans--saving the DNA today is somewhat similar to what Noah did then)

Hey listen, the Ark is a remote, well think of what your remote to your TV does. Turns on and off TV. So if the Ark is a remote then you can activate or deactivate the Halo's. In the trailer, i think it's sending a signal to shut down the Halos.

i really like that idea, the space shuttle bit is slightly far fetched, but otherwise i think its damn good

About the ark being a remote, that is allready known so i did not mention it!!! I am talking about the other properties tha the ark may have! About the shuttle, it is obvious(if we accept the theory)that the ark would have to transfer the species back to their home planet. Since space travel was a common thing and an A.I. would be capable of piloting the shuttle, this part of the theory is not so far fetched!!!

I like your theory, but I'm not sure how the creatures would be reconstucted

well if u have the basic genetic cells of an organism (like male--female reproduction cells) it is possible i think to cross them and create a new organism.This is present day technology.In the future all they will need is the DNA structure and they will be able to engineer a new organism.Something like that anyway..

...only in The Flood

There are forerunners in the ark. Did you notice the ark activated by itself? Bungie said that.
Now.... on Halo they studied flood. Why would they study flood if their race were to be extinct. Humans simply evolved to be similar to the forrunner

They studied the flood looking for ways to destroy it and avoid extinction.The real question is why they kept the flood alive in the halos after the activation(they kept some of them in stasis inside the halos)my guess is everything happened in a rush and in panic...The ARK can be controled by an A.I. No forunners are required

it's the ark it said so in last sunrise over new mombassa

  • 07.20.2006 11:33 AM PDT

how did any1 get a idea that people could go in the ark and be saved? The forerunners wouldn't take that risk. ( what if a flood went inside it??)
