This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

How would he fit Charity through the portal at earth? The portal was maybe a kilometer or two in diameter and high charity is hundreds wide. Did the portal expand to let high charity through?
Maybe he forced the tip in and then stretc-
On second thoughts, no idea.
It does raise an interesting question, though, do we have any confirmation on how HC got to the Ark?
There is no logical explanation for this.
The amount of power needed to transport something the size of High Charity to the Ark is much more than what any Covenant made engines/generators can make, and especially when we take into account on how fast it made it to the Ark. It took a matter of almost a day or a little bit more to reach it.
It could have exited slipspace directly on the Portal, thus passing it directly though to the Ark, but the Portal was no where near as big as High Charity... Unless it can expand in size for the size of the ship passing, which would make sense since most Forerunner vessels were much larger what the Portals dimensions were. But even then, the trip through slipspace should have taken a certain amount of time, and with Covenant made engines, it should have taken longer.
No matter how you put it, High Charity has an obvious power related problem with canon.
Another thing: if the portal were to expand to be large enough it would have stretched hundreds of kilometers across, possibly damaging all sorts of terrain, not to mention Voi and the surrounding mountains.
I don't think that would happen. I'm not sure, but from what I can remember, I'm pretty sure the Portal was horizontally above the surface of the planet. Completely parallel, thus in case of expanding, it would never damage the surroundings.
But then again, we have no idea what what type of power the Portal generators are producing, and how big they can make the Portal.
