In the last paragraph of First Strike, the Prophet of Truth states: "Soon the Great Journey shall begin." I think this is extremely important in the plot of Halo 2. Notice that Great Journey is in caps. Thus it has significance in Covenant society. I believe this journey involves Earth. I don't think Earth is the final location for this journey because the game would probably be rather short in that case. I think Earth contains necessary Forerunner technology that will enable the Covenant to complete the journey. I think I remember (correct me if I'm wrong) that Master Chief thought some symbols on Halo that he mysteriously recognized were similar to Aztec writings he had been introduced to by Deja as a kid. If this is true, I think the Aztec pyramids, not the Egyptian pyramids, will play a primary role in Halo 2. Then again this may be completely wrong. What do you guys think?
