How did Infinity reach Requiem?
At the end of the Ark in Halo 3, the cartographer shows that the Ark is outside of the Milky Way's rim. From the end of Halo 3, Requiem appears to be close to the Ark. How did Infinity get there?

a really fast slip-space drive, and coordinates derived from installation 03.

As far as I am aware Requiem is not close to the Ark. Don't forget that around 2 years have passed.

1) I think you mean the Dawn 2) It went through the slipspace portal, but Medicant Bias diverted the Chief's half to Requiem. Otherwise, Infinity got to Requiem because of coordinates found at Halo .03, combined with Cortana's distress signal. ^^Requiem was just another military installation; the only thing that made it unique was the Didact was there. It didn't warrent the security of a Halo. While they likely did have access denial when it came to the Flood, they're all gone now. So there'd be less restrictions for average joes. Besides, Librarian [i] wanted[/i] Didact to be found, by humans at least, so they could learn from him and him from us. It's just that his hatred got so deep he ignored his Mantle.

Requiem is far from the ark. If it were close to the ark requiem wouldve been destroyed or at least the explosion from the ark and the incomplete halo ring wouldve damaged the planet somehow.

I think we should all recall that the Didact and Chakas were both at Installation 03, along with the Composer. Would it be that surprising for the information of Requiem to be stored with other relevant materials and data, and/or the Forerunners leaving behind something from a blown up ship?
-
I think its either 343 not thinking or that information on the composer was not erased due to forerunners not thinking or not having time.

I thought that was Installation 07? Also, both halves of FuD made it through the portal. It's just that only the front half made it to Earth. Requiem isn't necessarily close to the Ark. Remember, that a Halo was activated. They were far enough away to not be killed. And they drifted for 4 years form wherever the portal dropped them off.

They got Requiem's location from installation 03.

Bungie and 343 never stated Requiem's exact location. We just know it's [i]somewhere[/i]. The Dawn could've ended up anywhere and since the Infinity was sent out for exploration, it's only possible that they just stumbled upon it.

Infinity has a Forerunner slipspace drive, which means they can travel far faster than any other Human or Covenant ship. [Edited on 12.29.2012 1:39 PM PST]
