Subject: Where in the world is Master Chief?. An extensive scientific theory.

Light Rex

The Original Recon winner..

Halo Mansion, check it out on youtube and see how i won Recon

so after beating legendary we see the chief in his blown up ship floating toward a "planet" and then the scene just ends. im a huge halo fan so ive also read the books. in the last book so far 'The Ghosts Of Onyx' there are a few spartan 2's and a few spartan 3's fighting off a huge group of covenant trying to kill them. in the book also, it says it's the biggest group of covenant ever assembled besides the attack on reach.
while this is going on, the halo 3 campain is also in the same time frame. so the chief is trying to blow up the ark wth the arbiter, the other spartans are fighting off swarm after swarm of covenant coming after them. the planet Onyx, was a safe guard for the fore-runners so if they needed to activate the halo rings from the ark, they would hide inside this planet and be protected from the blasts from the rings.
Onyx, also happens to be right next to the ark according to the book. so, since the chief didnt make it through the wormhole back to earth, he is still in the same area as Onyx. so i believe when we watched the legendary movie, that "planet" was Onyx, and the chief's ship is headed right towards it. so now the chief gets to help fight off the remaining covenant with the other spartans inside of this planet and wipe out the remaining covenant who didnt hear the war was over.

halo 4? hopefully.. that would be a sweet game, im not gona lie

If you had 100% proof, it would be a Fact, not a theory.

The only real problem I have with your theory is that you seem to be proving that the Thermal image is mars, not that the planet in the final cutscene is mars. All your evidence rests on the thermal, not what we see in the cutscene.


Exactly, showing real life images when the actual planet in the game isn't mars. It could be, theory's after theory's.

I believe you. But I have something to add. If you ever played the first marathon, the opening three pictures say:

"somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting"

No text, then,

"Oddly, this is familiar to you, as if it were from an old dream, but you can't exactly remember..."

This is a possible reference to that security guard in Marathon being MC.

The first quote is quite vague, and it could mean anything.

The third quote is the most interesting, Many theories come to mind, but these two are the most prominent:

1. MC is going through major deja-vu, and he is, in fact, the security guard. In case nobody else noticed, the stories of marathon and halo are frickin' parralel. MC-marathon guard, a lone soldier, the last of your kind. Cortana-Leela, a helpful AI. Guilty Spark-Durandal, a rampant and cunning AI who leads you down a path you don't want to follow. You team up with an alien race against another alien race. You say almost nothing. The story starts in a spacecraft under attack. The alien races are almost exactly the same. There are mjolnir cyborgs. How did no one else see this?

2. MC lost some of his memory in the cryo tube, and Marathon is halo, but in a different universe, kinda adding to theory 1, plus the fact that next to no background is given on the security guard.

And if nobody else noticed, the security guard's armor in the third picture looks remarkably like mjolnir armor, with the green suit and gold visor, but I can't find a pic anywhere online to post.

And then there's the marathon symbol. Don't get me started.
It's on keyes' pipe.
It's on the pillar of autumn.
It's showed if you take an overhead screenshot the control room of installation 04.
It's in the menu screen of Halo 1, behind the word HALO.
and more places I don't care to mention.

I don't know about anybody else, but I think this is more than a set of coincidences.

if this is true that MC and Marathon are connected i will go to the Marathon Universe and energy sword the security guard because i dont like the random with no speciaL armour

I'm not discriminatory. I don't like any of you.

Chuck Norris has MC stashed in the basement. Fact.

Maybe you are just another piece of the Bungie myster puzzle. Maybe you are just here to toy with us or to give us tidbits to have a frenzy over. Is it all a conspiacy? How were you able to find the pictures of the thermal planet stuff on that website? Just happened upon them? How do I know your not bungie?

Reason why marathon and halo have so many similarities is because they have the same *author*.


Marathon Could be the future of halo. But at the end of halo 3 MC and Cortana are drifting towards ONYX.

I don't think it will be halo 4. but a new Triology. Still halo, but an extended story. :?

Subject: Where in the world is Master Chief?. An extensive scientific theory.

Well I believe that the planet that is seen may just be Sanghelios, the planet of the elites.
BTW I didn't look through all the pages and this may have already been mentioned.
I have some measly evidence to back it up but no pictures sadly.

1.) In the final cutscene the elites mention returning to their home planet.
2.) It bears some resemblence to the mentioned planet.
3.) Bungie can't let it die at that, with such a tear in the story

There is more to prove my point but maybe later I need to be brief as of now.

well there might be one other option for master chief that the planet he actually ends up at in the ending of Halo 3 is actually the planet Onyx

ok here is my input, i found a webpage that has all the marathon terminals from all the games in order :http://marathon.bungie.org/story/, check it out. in the marathon story, marathon wasnt launched until 2479. now in the first halo book "fall of reach" this is the opening for chapter 1
0430 Hours, August 17, 2517 (Military Calendar) / Slipstream space unknown
coordinates near
Eridanus Star System

this could explain why marathon could not do slipspace, because it hasnt been established at that point. also it could explain why the "cyborgs" are wearing mark IV armor. in the book first strike in this chapter shows the date of the Mark V armor :

0901 hours, August 30,2552 (Military Calendar)\Epsilon
Eridani system, ONI underground facility, planet Reach.

now the end of H3 has the date of 2553 (as we all know). as for the ark theory, we have to remember that the ark was in a portal and not really beside mars, where it actually is, nobody can tell, but when the master chief was cut off, it left him in the same place where the ark was.

now in the marathon story, marathon wasnt attacked until 2794, a good 200 years after the events of halo.

back to the master chief. he put himself into cryo sleep which literally stops the aging process and he could quite possibly have been sleeping that long. the planet at the end video being marathon? dont think so maybe just another planet he passed (it is a big universe out there!) but with the similarities between the marathon story and the halo story are hard to just pass, the armor, the weopons, (hell the hunters are in marathon-tho they look a little different, but are described as in the same manner as the ones in halo). could master cheif have been picked up by marathon, very good possibility, different universes, negative, just a different point in time. by the way its not time traveling, hes just sedated for 200 years and thats when he happened to wake up, when traveling in space, it goes by years (light years, you know the length of time for light to reach any point in the universe) so time travel is out.

halo and marathon, i think so. bungi is good at hiding things. cliton says he never slept with that girl, but did it really happen?

i herd the planet was labelled 'forerunner planet' in game code or something
and surely it is the planet in the middle of the ark? because there is a planet in the middle of the ark, and the portal closed just before master chief made it through, so he is left floating by the ark surely. Oh, and when the planet eclipses the star or w/e in the legendary ending, i saw loads of lines and squares and -blam!- like it is a civilised planet or a forerunner one.
I think it might be the one in the middle of the ark, because mastur cheef hasn't actually moved anywhere. he didn't make it through the portal.

The Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine was invented in 2291. The first colony ship was unveiled in 2310. The first ship using it was launched in 2362. 30 Years later, in 2390, colonization of the inner colonies was well underway. There is no reasonable explnation for the UESC Marathon not having a Slipspace drive, other than the one already stated so many times in this thread.

also it could explain why the "cyborgs" are wearing mark IV armor.

The cyborgs did not wear Mark Iv armor. They were Mark IV cyborgs.
