I am...whimsical today.

I assume he left in the Forerunner ship due to the Flood landing on High Charity, but why then go to Earth afterward? Does he know that the 'Great Journey' has been stopped? Is he expecting it to sweep through the galaxy any minute? If so then why bother to do anything?

One theory among fans is that Earth is a forerunner construct, and the forerunner ship erupting from the ground is "The Ark" that Pentient Tangent spoke of.

I know that, but why is Truth going there? In theory he should be propelled along the path to enlightenmant at any moment.

The Great Journey, from what I've seen, is when all the Covenant travel to the Ark/Earth and all the Halos are activated. For some reason they ALL have to bee on Earth. Maybe earth was like a safe haven for the last Forerunners when the rings were activated which would compliment the theory that says the Forerunners were actually humans.

The reason why truth went to Earth is because the doughnuts on high charity were no good. And they got lousy reception thats y because that big thing is really a satalite dish for his TV

Well, when you've gotta catch Monty Python reruns I guess it's worth travelling halfway across the galaxy.

It is also believed that the Forerunner ship he and Master Chief are on is the key to start The Great Journey, it is to be placed on the Forerunner construct found in New Mombassa, that is in the Trailer video.

Mercy says in a cutscene that 'Halo's divine wind will rush through the galaxy, propelling all who are worthy along the path to salvation.' He does not specify 'The Ark'
