Here's an explanation for the MC winding up in Chicago:
As far as we know, the Covenant in Truth's ship don't know the MC is on board. Let's see now. The MC is in an enemy ship containing anywhere from tens to thousands of Covenant, along with the last of the great Prophet Triumvirate. What would you do if those covenant were oblivious to your prescence? You'd play saboteur and try to crash the ship, of course. I'd imagine such a thing wouldn't be beyond the MC's doing. And what if, what if... the ship just happened to crash land near Chicago, which has no doubt grown past its boundaries exponentially with half a millenium to prosper (thus, more of a chance to land in or near it)?
Just a thought.
And who knows? Maybe Chicago contains an important military base in the future? It's on Lake Michigan. That might have offered an incentive to construct a classic navy base (not space warships of course). I doubt it wouldn't have been beyond that base's power to get the MC some new armor either (or even transport him to Africa via Pelican or some other means).
Edit: Of course. Just pure speculation. Nice theory though. I'd give it a 1 out of 4 chance of happening.
The only way I see my theory happening is if the Covenant ship crashes in Chicago, or if Master Chief just escapes the ship and lands in Chicago, for some reason if he is overwelmed.
