==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
This comic[http://halo3.com/comic/] tells the story of [[N'chala]], who goes every morning to the same spot in the plains, and watches something special. The comic implies that some "gods" ( perhaps the [[Forerunners]]) are building a huge machine in a large lake on the plains of Africa. This structure, constructed by several very large machines resembling [[Enforcer]]s, appears to be the [[Portal]] to the [[Installation 00|Ark]]. This is the only known [[Forerunner]] structure on [[Earth]].

On the last page of the comic, there are 3 panels. They are each able to be moved with the mouse to reveal certain numbers. When the numbers were arranged in order, they became an IP Address, [[206.16.223.65]], which lead to a site. This site was part of the ''Alternate Reality Game'', [[Iris]].
