We will Find You. The Forerunner Symbols translate to. YOU ARE WHAT YOU DARE. WE ARE WATCHING. WE HAVE RETURNED. RECLAIMER.

  4. Hello everyone. After viewing the Halo Xbox One trailer times over one thing flashed in my mind The Lesser Ark. Which I feel undoubtedly we will return to. Halo 4 ended the Ur Didact being defeated for now and humanity learning of the absolute record and humanity and Jul Mdama's Storm with the other half. The Absolute record is one of the biggest if not the biggest species changing event in history revealing where all forerunner tech in the galaxy is located. The first question that pops up here for many is. Wasn't the ark destroyed when the halo tore itself apart? No the ark is heavily damaged but not destroyed. As Cortana says in Halo 3. When the halo fired it shook itself to pieces and it did a number on the ark. The Ark is also confirmed still active by the 11th hour reports. Where we learn the ark is still intact but the artificial sun is not operating at full capacity and there has been traumatic damaged done to the ark's surface. But habitability sustainment systems are still active in places on the ark with Volatile weather conditions. Also mentions that there is a chance some life forms may have survived could this be a reference to the flood? As High Charity crashed on the ark. Or it could be a reference to other life forms. Now for the next part of the theory let me explain why we would need to return to the lesser ark using quotes from the halo novels and the games themselves. In Contact Harvest after a shard of Mendicant Bias is awoken on the forerunner Dreadnaught on High Charity and reveals that the covenant have been misinterpreting forerunner artifacts and that their whole basis of the Great Journey is false. Wishing to atone Bias tries to take the Dreadnaught bring it to humanity and bring them to the ark. Then in Halo 3 Cortana mentions a way to stop the flood without firing the remaining Halo rings. In the halo evolutions story Human Weakness Cortana implies the ark is her solution. "She needed backup. She triggered one of the copies to create a message to HighCom, a few urgent words about the flood heading for earth, the portal the Gavemind didn't know about, and that the way to defeat the flood without firing a halo ring lay beyond it the ark." Then in the third terminal in Halo 3 343 Guilty Spark is having a conversation with an unknown AI on the ark. Which to me is the most telling information connecting the Lesser Ark and the Absolute Record. Explanation: This facility is host to the librarians final 04-343 (errant): The archive is intact?! Then our makers plan But also maintains {bellows, crucible, castings} 04-343 (errant) A what? {bellows, crucible} 04-343 (errant) Vexation I am the monitor of Judgment: Your authority means nothing here. 04-343 (errant) Impatience! 04-343 (errant): I have told you who I am. Who are you? All our makers once held dear {Alexandria before the fire.} 04-343 (errant) Sincere apology but how Explanation this facility is host to the librarians final 04-343 (errant) The archive is intact?! Then our makers plan. But also maintains {bellows, crucible, castings} 04-343 (errant) A what? {bellows, crucible} 04-343 (errant) A foundry? 04-343 (errant) For what purpose? Warning: Your intrusion has been logged. Advice: Any further attempt to access will result 04-343 (errant) Indignant! So it looks like the ark has other functions then just making halo's. Guilty Spark seems to at last know something of what the unknown AI construct is saying mentioning an archive and the final plan of the forerunners. Now why this terminal speaks so many volumes at least to me is the construct mentioning he is all the forerunners once held dear Alexandria before the fire. Alexandria as the largest library in Egypt the largest library In the world. Which held thousands of scrolls from all around the known world. I cant help but think of the Absolute Record being a forerunner version of Alexandria. Last but most certainly not least the Mantle of responsibility which was brought up many times in Halo 4 by both the Ur Didact and the Librarian and it seems the ark plays a part in humanity inheriting the mantle. In the recent novel Halo Silentium the Librarian is constructing the portal on earth. " I can only hope they will survive and upon returning, that they find this portal and use it to travel to the ark in order that they might discover their rightful place in the galaxy and the great responsibility they have finally inherited." I leave you with the Silentium epilogue the trial of Mendicant Bias. "You are brought here to be sentenced. You have not been immediately destroyed because you may yet be needed. Your intimate knowledge of the Flood makes you valuable should they return, but we can never trust you, never again allow you any latitude. You will be entombed here. Your processes locked, frozen into a single thought for all eternity: absolution. Should you be needed you will be reawakened, should there be no need you will be buried here until the end of living time. " THEN I WILL SERVE, AS A MONUMENT TO ALL YOUR SINS THAT IS WHAT YOU WISH FOR. Bornstellar shook his head, " I only wish for the Mantle to be upheld" " I AM PENITENT, I KNOW THAT WHAT I HAVE DONE CANNOT BE FORGIVEN. I WILL ACCEPT MY STASIS WITH GRACE, AND AWAIT A TIME WHERE I MIGHT REDEEM MYSELF." "Aya so shall it be," said Bornstellar. He reached out to a pylon, spread his hand across the controls as they appeared and closed his fist. The constructors finished their webs and sealed themselves into the tomb's fabric. Mendicant Bias's coffin was locked in place. The entire structure dropped slowly below the ground into the void and foundation metal, its blue lines pulsing more and more slowly. "ONE THOUGHT FOR ALL ETERNITY", said Mendicant Bias. His tone sounded almost wistful. Now the lights were fading, flickering, going dark. "ATONEMENT." The tomb turned black as night. The machines final words spread across the false desert and echoed moments later from the false mountains. Bornstellar, Riser, Trial, Chant, and all the rest watched silently as the rest of Mendicant Bias, locked in eternal exile, was covered by sand. Covered by sand Mendicant Bias was buried underneath the sands of the ark kind of like the desert seen in the Halo Xbox One trailer. Bornstellar who is now the Iso Didact mentions Mendicant may be needed again should the flood return. Again this is just a theory sorry for the rather long read just wanted to get all my thoughts across.
