After the portal is opened, and the level [[Floodgate]] begins, the remains of the clouds are seen broken up and swirling around the portal in the sky, having been disrupted by the opening of the portal itself. | After the portal is opened, and the level [[Floodgate]] begins, the remains of the clouds are seen broken up and swirling around the portal in the sky, having been disrupted by the opening of the portal itself. | ||
It is the Forerunner artifact revealed in the ''[[Halo 3 E3 2006 Trailer]]''. It appears as Spartan-117 looks down, and notices the ground opening up. According to messages from a Forerunner known as [[Librarian]] contained throughout the [[Ark]], the portal on Earth was the last of numerous gateways constructed throughout the galaxy, and was buried shortly before the activation of the Halo rings. | It is the Forerunner artifact revealed in the ''[[Halo 3 E3 2006 Trailer]]''.

The [[High Prophet of Truth]] landed the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] on the forerunner structure, and an unusual electric storm started up above it. The [[UNSC]] military unit [[ONI Recon 111]] reported to [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] that the "cruisers above the crater have stopped...they've found something"<ref>''[[Tsavo Highway (Level)]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>. The UNSC attempted to attack the structure, falsely presumed to be the [[Ark]] by UNSC intelligence; but was unsuccessful due to heavy Covenant loyalist anti-aircraft fire batteries. A small strike force in the city of Voi, consisting of [[John-117]] and some [[Marines]] and factory workers neutralized an AA battery to clear a path for three [[Frigates]] and numerous [[Longswords]]. These then made several attacks on the Dreadnought with [[MAC]] Cannons and Air to Air Missiles, but with no effect. Truth then activated the Gateway, opening a large [[Slipspace]] rift above the artifact which led to the Ark ,which is revealed to be outside the Milky Way galaxy. Truth and the rest of the Loyalist fleet advance through the rift as the [[Covenant Separatist|Separatist]] fleet, along with the Arbiter, Miranda Keyes, and SPARTAN-117 pursue them to the Ark. | The [[High Prophet of Truth]] landed the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] on the forerunner structure, and an unusual electric storm started up above it.
