SPOILER ALERT!!!!! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ GHOSTS OF ONYX OR FIRST STRIKE AND PLAN TO, DON'T READ THIS PART!!!!!!!!
In the end of Ghosts of Onyx, those of you who have read it will remember that the remaining Spartan II's and III's, along with Dr. Halsey, were teleported to the inside of a Dyson Sphere inside a compressed Slipspace bubble located in the center of Onyx. In an ODST gameplay interview with Stosh, he said that Master Chief was stuck in Slipspace. Previously, I had thought that the portal simply closed before Master Chief's half of the ship could get through the portal, but now I believe that the portal closed as the Arbiter was going through the end above Earth (kind of obvious, now that I think about it), leaving the Chief drifting in Slipspace. I think that the planet he was drifting toward wasn't a planet, but was in fact the Dyson Sphere that the other Spartans are stuck in. What kind of adventure this would produce, I'm not sure. Maybe some straggling brute and prophet (I can't remember their actual name) loyalists will pick up the distress beacon sent out by Cortana, and will discover the Sphere. Or that a Flood spore escaped with you on the Forward Unto Dawn, and has infected some of the races in the Dyson Sphere. Another possibility is that some of the races that the Forerunners rescued and transported to the Dyson Sphere aren't exactly friendly, and wage war on you??? I don't know. All of mine sound kind of stupid. But what I do know is that the thing in the end of Halo 3 is not Reach.

Also, if you have any other ideas to what it could be, and/or what the mission could be, then please post!

sounds like it could be the sequel to halo 3, but not reach

I am pretty sure the Dyson sphere is the only logical explanation for for the end of Halo 3.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Well Done PhatMatt, the most convincing theory I have ever seen. I like it.

"They let me pick... did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong and swift and brave, a natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck."

Interesting idea...

But, the Cheif, I don't believe, got stuck and was drifting in slipspace. If that where true, I don't think they could save him and he would fly by Oynx ( If that is the right planet or not ) with out knowing it was there. But what I believe did happen was that he got a boost by Forward Unto Dawn entering slip space. The one half with the Arbiter made it back to earth. But the half with the MC was left drifting in space. But, we don't know how long he was drifting or how far that boost made him go.

So, it is very well possible for thie legendary planet to be Onyx. But, I'm not sure how bungie would create a story line behind it.

Also, I'm not sure if this is the right form for this topic.

I got my info on MC being in Slipspace, so as is the custom, I blame Stosh.
I was also saying that it was not Onyx that he drifted by, but rather the Dyson Sphere in Slipspace, and it couldn't be Onyx anyways since Onyx exploded.
I put this in this forum because of the controversy between those who believe that the object is Reach, those who think it is the Dyson Sphere, and those who think it isn't either that is rampant in this forum. I was simply expressing a theory of mine.
Thank you for the feedback though. It's good not to recieve all completely agreeing feedback.

Good theory. We'll just have to wait another three or four years to know for sure..

My name is from Star Wars. Now you know.

Feel free to follow me on my twitter and stalk me.

Finally, a non time travel related theory. Very intelligent theory at that. Well done.

A theory that doesn't make me want to stab someone to death with a dull spork? And that could actually produce a good game?

My hats off to you, sir.

I never read the books, but really good theory! Sounds like a fun game...

You should read the books. They are very good, especially those by Eric Nylund.

QFT, but I'm not sure if this belongs in the Reach forum.
