In Response To: The Forerunner - Swahili Connection (FrogBlast)

: *slight spoiler*

: In 'Metropolis' on the floor of the building you enter, 'mtangulizi' is
: written on the floor.

: Mtangulizi on floor means "forerunner." Kampuni is written nearby,
: it means "company"

: http://research.yale.edu/cgi-bin/swahili/lookup.cgi?Word=mtangulizi&EngP=0

: So the question is raised in-game why the covenant decided to land there. In
: that level, they end up heading straight at that building. Any thoughts?

I think that the Ark is in Mombasa,Kenya.
That is my idea for why 1) The last Hierarch is heading to earth, and 2) Why the Covenant came here to begin with.
