i like your theory phearmaker, but to me it still leaves a lot of holes to be filled. i have never been satisfied with just assuming that after the frigate got CHOPPED IN HALF by the portal, the arbiter and MC live happily ever after. if the ship got cut in half, there would be no way to control the trajectory of either half. so both the MC and the arbiter would be at the whim of gravitational fields of planets and stars. what would really stop either half from spinning into a sun somewhere or getting crushed by an asteroid? i think it's highly unlikely and makes no sense that either half would make it safely to any kind of landing zone.
but that aside, the ending of halo 3 doesn't really explain what happens to the rest of the covenant. there's still plenty of brutes running around, there's still Flood from the Halo 2 ring, and there are still other rings to be found. so even if the MC is in the marathon universe, the halo universe still seems pretty doomed to me.
