Humans are there to Reclaim the Forerunner legacy
Posted By: Andrew Derksen <aderksen@lexgen.com>Date: 12/23/04 1:20 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Reclaimers aren't Humans (Kulatu)

There are several pieces of conjectural evidence indicating that humanity exists to someday reclaim the majesty of their Forerunner ancestors:

1.) Only humans have been referred to as 'Reclaimers'. See any of the discussions between 343 GS and the Chief in the original Halo, and kindly recall that 343 GS tells Miranda and Sarge that they are the "finest pair of reclaimers it has ever been [his] privilige to work with" after announcing that the rings' targeting solutions are locked in and that they are primed and ready to fire.

2.) Tartarus and his Brutes seem fairly convinced that either Miranda or Sargent Johnson must be the ones to insert the Index into the main panel of the Control Room.

3.) 343 GS is fairly dismissive of the Covenant "meddlers", and wishes that they would use the proper terminology when discussing their 'Great Journey'...

4.) After the Arbiter defeats Tartarus, and Miranda removes the index (thereby halting the firing sequence), 343 GS tells us that the only way to activate the rings remotely would be to travel to the "Ark". We then observe that the remaining prophet has chosen to travel in a Forerunner vessel back to Earth - presumably heading for the same site that the impetuous Regret had investigated earlier. While no confirmation, it certainly implies that the Earth is this mysterious "Ark".

5.) For further conjecture: In Judeo-Christian mythology, Noah's Ark was the shelter for all species chosen to survive the Great Deluge - or Flood. Forty days and nights may not be a hundred-thousand years, but the implications are there...
