I found this on the main ODST project page,
The year is 2552. Covenant forces control the city of New Mombasa. They are searching for something beneath its darkened streets. You are an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. Your orders: Stay alive, meet up with your scattered squad, and escape the embattled city.
I found the part that says they are searching for something beneath its darkened streets interesting. My theory is that they are looking for another artifact to lead them to another Halo. Just like in Halo CE. Here is my proof:
To fire a Halo they have to do it on an actual Halo. As stated at the end of Halo 2, after a cancelation of a firing a Halo, then all the rings can be remotely fired from the Ark. This would render the Ark useless before hand. So that is why Regret was at New Mombosa in the first place and not the Ark. Then after the failed attempt to fire Delta Halo the Ark would be able to fire all the rings and would be much easier to use then find another ring.
Heres another thing to think about. If Regret realized that he was outnumbered, wouldn't the logical choice be to jump back with the rest of the fleet? It seems odd to me that he would jump to Delta Halo. It seems more like he was on a mission from the very beg. Remember, Regret and Truth never met eye to eye. He could have jumped to earth first, probably knowing he was outnumbered, and find and artifact to lead him to another Halo to activate.
Short and sweet version:
-MC blows up first Halo
-Prophets must find another Halo
-They travel to New Mombosa to find another artifact to lead them to another Halo
-They find Delta Halo because they find an artifact, thats why he left so abruptly.
-They are able to start firing Delta Halo but it is canceld, but know allows them to fire the rings from the Ark.
-They travel back to earth and find the portal
-You know the rest
Just a thought....
P.S. I posted this in the ODST forum because this is what I think ODST will reveal.
What I'm still confused about is how the Covenant found Earth's location via artifacts, but didn't know it was the portal. Or rather...when did they find out that the portal was on Earth?
Thats what I would like to know to. How much did they know prior to Fall of Reach. How did they know the location of the first artifact that ultimately led them to the first Halo? There are still a lot of unanswered questions and holes in the story.
Ok, here's the deal, on Harvest the Covenant found artifacts that led them to the Forerunner fleet in Halo Wars, and the location of the 'Reclaimers' on Reach.
The Covenant then went to Reach and found the Locations of Halo 04, and the location of Iris(aka the portal)
they immediately went to Halo 04 as they knew that this was a religious symbol to them. Start: events of Halo: CE
After CE the covenant choose to go to the Iris in an attempt to further their quest for ascension. Regret, being an impulsive prophet decided to go to the Iris to continue the great Journey before the rest of the prophets could. He ran headlong into the largest human force the covenant had ever seen.
Regret and the Elites presumably found the location of Delta Halo, as well as the Iris, however as they had come unprepared for massive combat Regret was forced to withdraw his one remaining cruiser and all forces and make the insane in atmosphere jump to Delta Halo.
Truth and Mercy decided that the Iris was the larger concern as they learned of its ability to access the ark. However, they needed to deal with Regret's incompetence and near betrayal, so they sent their fleet of Brutes to Earth and took High Charity and a handful of Cruisers to Delta Halo.
The Chief killed Regret, but Truth believed that Truth had killed Regret in punishment for the betrayal, however he blamed the Chief for it as reasoning to oust the Elites from power.
The Flood had taken control of Delta Halo and High Charity killing Mercy, so with the death of Tartarus TTruth fled back to Earth to travel through the Iris to the Ark, The Flood Followed with ever possible living flood form to stop Truth fearing that they would kill the flood.
All forces from the flood, Truth and the entire Covenant Fleet and the fleet of elites traveled through the Iris to the Ark.
Here the Elites Completely destroyed the Covenant Fleet, Leaving the Flood and Truth stranded on the Ark. Truth was left with no way to escape, and decided to activate the Ark immediately. Here the Arbiter killed Truth and he and the Chief Then activated the new Halo 04 to destroy all life on the ark to stop and strand the Flood on at the ark, with no food, effectively killing them all.
There. all done.
What are they searching for? well it's not Delta Halo, they already found that by the point of ODST, so what then? The portal to the Ark.
