Well, the last scene reminded me more of King Arthur than when he emerged from the cryo-tube in Halo: CE, wherein Arthur more or less vanishes and is supposed to return only when he is most desperately needed, but whatever.
I'd also like to point out that since Reach falls sometime in 2552 and the Ark is reached sometime in 2553, Cortana is nowhere near rampant from age yet. She's only about one to three years old, max. Additionally, the only indication we can see that Cortana was ever near rampant are the weird flashes or visions from 3's campaign, and that can easily be chalked up the the Gravemind messin' with its enemies (since it could control Forerunner tech through Penitent Tangent- watch the cutscene- I think a transmission and a manipulation of Cortana's avatar wouldn't be too much work).
Add to this the last terminal, wherein Mendicant Bias hints at all kinds of meddling and a last mission, and another Master Chief story, if not game, could be done fairly easily.
All that having been said, Reach is about Reach, not the legendary planet. Those claims are annoying.
