It comes alot clearly when you think of him as the Ark AI and reread some of his postings
The Signal/Transmission that where sent out to the Halos to commence activation.6/14/2007 - 8:13 AM PDT (direct link)
It has begun. The first seeds are scattered
He knows about the past activation of the Halos and the destruction they bring with them.Time to sleep. Something that once was malevolent is stirring. [hibernation resumed]
Heres clue the symbol was then put as his avatar.
Could this insignia represent himself as "The Ark" ?
And heres more! the comic from halo3.com tells us that old natives long before UNSC etc had contact with the Forerunners. Natives painted the Chrysopteron on rocks etc. and where did these natives view the forerunners ? AFRICA. Could this be a possibilty that the Chrysopteron MEANS "Ark"
Now heres a problem with all these brainstorming tho.
The Odd time frame that AR has put us in.
he's in OUR time 2007. 545 years before the current events in halo is taking place, my question here is, why did he come to us now? (other than the fact that bungie thought it be a good time to start a new ARG!)
Now the Transmission WebsiteHere is how it breaks down:
* Hours in a year, according to Google = 8,765.81277
* Hours passed since activation as cited by AdjutantReflex = 871,803,909+-384
* 871,803,909 / 8,765.81277 = 99454.999995396890047880865244627
* Rounded, that's roughly 99455 years since activation.
* 100,000 - 99455 = 545
* We're in year 2007. The events in the Halo story arc take place in the year 2552.
* 2552 - 2007 = 545
Rotate Transition Point /negative/
Local Interference - Negligible
/confirmed/ Realignment Proceeding
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Countdown
"Realignment Proceeding" <-- Did the Ark send out a message to All Halos to align for firing position? This seems to be the most logical explanation what else would be aligning?
When the Countdown hits Zero we should expect another message from AR its possible that the INDEX may be needed in order to fire all halos.
Ill keep this updated and try my best to tie all the clues
