My thoughts on it so far are that they've been around the Legendary planet for a while and that Cortana's been in contact with a person, forerunner, or AI down on the planet and perhaps she was able to use their tech to upgrade the Chief's armor. In Halo Cryptum we read how the Forerunner are able to basically grow anything from a ship to a chair, so I figure Cortana maybe used some Forerunner tech to upgrade Chief's armor... and her snooping around in the systems down on the planet is maybe what caused it to open up and start sucking them in.
That's just my theory on it right now, but if I came up with that, I'm sure a professional writer can and has come up with something AT LEAST on par with, if not more than likely better than, something like that.
