Alright here is my theory, " The H3 Theory". So forerunners are basically our predecessors or the people here before us. The forerunners had to have lived somewhere before making the rings right? They must have lived on Earth and it only makes sense to build something to activate the rings on Earth so they don't have to travel to the rings just to activate them. As the "oracle" said in Halo 2 the Ark is where one would go to activate the rings. But how did the Hirearchs know where to look on Earth? Did they simply detect something underground or did they find another oracle? It's actually quite possible that the forerunner ship had it's coordinates logged into it's central computer system. Now if you remember correctly, the Master Chief was about to tell Cortana he'd come back for her after killing truth and saving Earth. Obviously according to the commercial he hasn't killed him considering there's a fleet the size of Rosie O Donnel's fat ass on Earth. So since the chief obviously has a long way to go before saving Earth, I'd say that there's a good chance that Cortana won't be with Master Chief for most of the game
