does anybody know what is happening in the final cut scene? Like maybe where it is taking place, what the structure is, and what the prophet is doing there.
The final cutscene shows The Prophet of Truth arriving near the Superintendent structure, where the Ark has being exposed. This scene leads into Halo 3.

Or we assume it was part of the ark.

Why wouldn’t it be?

The structure in the cutscene is DEFINITELY not the Ark. Its the location of the Forerunner Keyship portal that allows travel from Earth to the Ark via a slipspace portal (as seen at the end of the Halo 3 mission The Storm). The excavation site seen in the cutscene is located in/near New Mombasa, which is a city on Earth.
The Ark (or Installation 00) is a Forerunner super structure that manufactures Halo rings and is located 262,144 light years from galactic center. So the structure that we see in the cutscene can’t possibly be the Ark as it is located nowhere near Earth, not to mention way too big to be buried beneath the Earth’s surface.

I really just failed. That confusion on Halo 3 about everyone calling it the Ark at the beginning really affected me. Ugh.

I really found it effective. Thats one thing Halo 3 did really well.

It definitely gave the opinion that nobody knew what the Ark was, only hearing about it from random sources. It gave it a little mystery.
I know it’s been a while since the last post on this thread, but the explanation about the structure being the Keyship isn’t correct. Truth was already in possession of the Keyship (remember that he left High Charity at the end of Halo 2 in it). The structure is more than likely part of the portal that leads to the actual Ark.

Just rechecked my post and realised I missed a word out. It should have read “Forerunner Keyship port”. Original comment edited.
Sorry for resurrecting this thread but I just beat ODST on legendary again and was wondering the same thing. There are a number of theories of the librarian preserving herself within earth near Mt killominjaro maybe this is the structure she was preserved in. After all why would Bungie show us something we already knew about in halo 3.
I agree with Phil Mitchell62.
