No, the Covenant purged a navigational database of a UNSC spacecraft.

No, during a major battle (heven't read it in a while) a probe attached itself to a UNSC spacecraft and started to get the information on earth.

If they had found the info. on Earth they never would have wasted time on finding the Pillar of Autumn! Why waste a whole armada on a crippled ship? It's obvious they didn't get what they wanted.... Smart money 343 GS got it when he raped the Pillar of Autumn in the Maw, and stole "human history." He probably sold us out because he see's humanity/MC as threat to activate the other Halo's. The Covenant are Red Herring's and are being duped. While both fight he activates Halo's all around the galaxy! Pop goes the Universe!

if you guys read first strike, you would know that when cortana took control over the covenant ship she risked having the covie AI search the ship and find the coordinated to earth, wich is what happened,

Well, There are so many possibilities. You ever get the thought they were acctually looking for it? I mean, its got, what is it... 21 Orbital Guns surronding it, if the Covenant see that they know to go there. 343 GS wouldn't go to the Covenant, becasue they let out the Flood, and becuase out of every Covenant specie there and the humans, he choose the humans to be the Forerunner. They (Covenant) could have found another crystal, having co-ordinantes to Earth, and Halo. I highly doubt the Iroquis went to Earth. I think they found out becuase Earth has something the 'Forerunners' left there, and the Covenant located it.

Well even if they didnt find out about the way they did, I think it was pretty inevitable that they would find it, all they had to do was continue in the path they were going and they would have found it eventually.

We showed them back in 1970-something when we launched the different Pioneer and Voyager satellites. On both of them was a gold disc that has the coordinates for Sol.

My theory is one of those satellites went into a slispace bubble, like asteroids and comets occasionally do (as mentioned in The Fall of Reach), and exited inside Covenant held territory.

They analyzed the plate and then realized that it lead to human held territory. So they decided to follow its directions. And there is a chance that there was some Forerunner artifact in that area, so the Covenant feel they must take it before we do.

Here is a picture of one of those plates(Be careful on the pic, shows "scientific" photos of humans). It also has the coordinates, which is the little thingy off to the left with the lines going in many directions. THose points are pulsars and we are the center relative to those pulsars. And here is the NASA website relating to those satellites Voyager and Pioneer.
