In Response To: Re: In Halo 3... (Avateur)


: That's under the assumption that he knew just how freaking massive the Ark
: actually was. It also assumes that Truth was in control of the ship.
: Mendicant Bias seems to have blasted off when he wanted to on High
: Charity, and it's not exactly clear if Truth had any control over that
: ship at all. I'm basing this on Contact Harvest, by the way. He didn't
: seem very cooperative.

: Then they land at the Ark and, the ever-lingering question, why did it take
: so freaking long for Truth to either get to Earth or open the portal to
: begin with? Was Mendicant Bias buying Master Chief all the time in the
: world? He had to have known what was happening on High Charity, or at the
: very least within his own ship when Master Chief got on board. Plus all
: those Terminals, especially the one located on the second Alpha Halo? It's
: like he was going out of his way to do everything he could to get Master
: Chief where he wanted him to be, including while on the Forward Unto Dawn.
: I swear he's possessed Cortana without her knowledge.

I hadn't really given it much thought before, but Mendicant Bias trying to buy time for humanity actually seems like a pretty sensible explanation as to why it took so long for Truth to reach Earth and activate the portal.
