Ok rember in the flood when keyes was tryting really hard to not let the flood form get the loaction of earth well a little bit before MC put a hole in its head keyes lost and died. well the flood form was hooked up to the covie control room. My thoery is that the flood wanted fresh food so it might have plotted a course to earth (of cousre after repairs were made) well the covie fight off the flood and regain control of the room and fingdthis info and use it to find Earth. I agree the Iroquios theory is possible but its to easy to find. i think Bungie wouldn't make it so obvious. tell me what u guys think

To bad that ship the captain was on was later taking over by the ODSTs and then crashed. I think. I check the books again.

One of the marines (i think McKay) blew up the Covenant ship so that no flood would make it to Earth

No NO NO that was a diffenrt covie ship the on wasn't even able to flyso the humans would want it there were more covie ships on Halo so i don't think that ship was the TaR which the humans captured

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


I didn't read the books but where were the ODSTs? Where they on POA but doing their own thing on Halo so u didn't see them?

The book said the TaR could fly but the covenent didn't take off because the ship was filled with the Flood, they sent an eliot group to kill all the Flood on the TaR before take off

I think the Convenent got the location of Earth from the Moniter. I think he discovered Earth when he was retreving data from the PoA and as a way to get back at MC and Cortana for taking the index he gave the Convenent the location of Earth

The Covenant found Earth as the artifacts point to other artifacts. They found Reach that way, they found Earth the same way.

They found Reach by putting a tracker on Keyes ship so they would know everyplace that that ship had been
