I'd have to agree tenativly with sycomunkee. It would possibly explain a few things that I believe were intentionally left unaddressed clearly for plot purposes. Hats off to the writesrs behind these games, clearly brilliant and creative wordsmithing at work somewhere behind closed doors. For example, the moniters of both Halo's visted so far (Guilty Spark and Penatant Tangent) recognize humans or the MC as reclaimers while not addressing any member of the covenant as anything other than interlopers or meddlers. This suggests a level of recognition of the human form taken as forrunner, or assumed as such. Does this suggest that perhaps the Ark is on Earth and that ultimatly humanity is linked to the past forruners whom were seeking escape or survival following the activation of the rings, as mentioned by both Penatant Tangent and Guilty Spark? I've had my theories aligned as such since the first game and further confirmed by the second game. Ulitmatly though, they are just that, speculation. I'll have to be patient till 2007 and hope that nothing leaks that would otherwise ruin the surprize. Addressing the idea that the covenant knew the loction of Earth, I believe the plot would suggest that they had an idea of it's location, hence Truths arrival from seemingly nowhere in the second game. A preliminary or scouting force futher suggesting that intel regarding planet occupation, native population ect, ect where unkown and thus such a limited force arrived.
Again, all I can do is guess but it does make for interesting contemplation. Suddenly 2007 seems a long way off.
