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

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Well does High Charity go through the portal on Earth to reach to Ark? I always assumed it just went through slipspace.
Impossible.
It would have taken much longer than a day to reach The Ark. High Charity no longer posed the power provided by the Dreadnought, and must have worked though those reactors we destroy in Cortana. Those were Covenant tech, and even Covenant slipspace and power efficiency was no where near the Forerunners.
It's mostly and overlooked aspect of canon. But I can tell you that by slipspace it takes longer than one day to leave the galaxy.
Covenant ships have always been faster in slipspace. Wouldn't High Charity be too large to enter Earths atmosphere and go through the portal anyway?
Yes, they are faster, but they are no where near as fast as being able to exit the galaxy and travel all the way to the Ark in less than a day. Plus, I highly doubt HC was capable of even exiting directly on the portal, which I would imagine would count as redirecting the slipspace stream out towards the Ark.
Plus, we don't know how long it takes to travel the Portal. It could be near instantaneous or take a certain amount of time.
