Re: Truth's jump to Earth before Halos activated
Posted By: Zesty <webslinger222@yahoo.com>Date: 2/17/05 7:20 p.m.

In Response To: Truth's jump to Earth before Halos activated (replay)

: Do people agree that Truth's Forerunner ship either had to be mind numbingly
: fast (much, much faster than Covenant slipspace tech) or that Delta Halo
: had to be near Earth in order for Truth to reach his objectives before
: Tartarus activated the Halos (or both)?

: I ask this because Truth and Tartarus left on their Phantoms for their
: respective duties at the same time. Truth's ride to the Forerunner ship
: within High Charity is a bit shorter than Tartarus' ride to the surface of
: Delta Halo. Yet, Truth is delayed for a considerable amount of time by
: Cortana, so that would even up the travel time a bit. By the time Truth
: actually gets to take off on the Forerunner ship and is inside slipspace
: (for even an hour), Tartarus would likely have activated the Halos
: already, and Truth's whole objective of obtaining something on Earth would
: be pointless.

: I was thinking off adding this issue to my theory.

We have obviously seen that the Covenant don't understand that the Halos will kill them. They believe activating them is the BEGINING of the Great Journey. Truth would think Tartarus activating the ring would start the journey and whatever he is after on earth/ark (we dont know for sure that ark=earth) is another important step. And just from the cut scenes we would have no idea how long the Slipspace jump back to earth was. It could easily have been hours ( or minutes) after the Arbiter asked the 343 where the ark was. Bungie just cut the scenes like that to make it more dramatic and to make us all get pissed off because we have to wait until Halo 3 for the answer all our questions.
