First off, the word is savvy, or savvier, etc. As for the jump to earth, With all the biblical allusions popping up everywhere (flood) (covenant) (ark), etc, i believe that the most logical job of the ark is to protect anyone inside from the destructive force of the Halo's. This is kind of tangental, but i think that humans were the original forerunners, they used the ark, went to earth, started over, and then sent the ark off into space, and i believe that somehow the ark ended up in a location that the original species of the covenant were privy to. rather, after years of evolution, they found the fore runner technology, and bam, covenant reverse engineering. in Halo 3, im thinking that this will all be revealed, at least the history of the fore runners, and covenant.
I have no idea for what purpose truth wants the ark. Honestly, i cant see any logical path that truth could be taking, unless he honestly has no idea what the purposes of the halo truly are. What's he going to do once everyone is dead? sure he'll be alive and most likely a ruler of the galaxy, but over what? a couple hundred people? Either scenario is pretty far fetched, so i expect Bungie to come up with someone brilliant.
Anyway, those are my two cents. feel free to criticize, correct, etc.
