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 real [[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 [[Thel 'Vadam]], [[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.

The Storm above the portal may be an artificial storm, created only by the activation of the Ark Portal. The [[Forerunners]] could create weather on [[Halo]], and may have also done so on [[Earth]]. | The Storm above the portal may be an artificial storm, created only by the activation of the Ark Portal.
