And the UNSC asked her to stay on because she's very effective. But by Halo 4's time, she's probably dead by now.[/quote] Didn't she also tack on the charge of directing valuable war assets away from Earth during a time in which Earth's location was compromised? Big no-no.[/quote] Wouldn't [i]Infinty[/i] fall into that category? [/quote] How exactly? The Infinity still wasn't ready, and it is only one ship despite its size. What's it going to do against the entirety of Truth's fleet? Jul's fleet is a hodge podge of worn down vessels by the time Halo 4 rolls around, the majority of which don't even have shields whereas the Covenant vessels at the battle of Earth were still in their prime. The Infinity would not have changed the tide of the war right then and there, so why commit it to a battle in orbit when the Covenant had it secure. Without any [i]significant[/i] screening force of UNSC vessels it's like sending the Yamato to support forces in Okinawa back in WWII, which is to say it'd be destroyed before lending any support to its objective. What did matter was the battle on the ground and stopping Truth from getting to the very thing that's preventing the Covenant from outright glassing Earth. So it would be understandable for someone to be rather irked that a significant ground asset such as a Spartan, let alone several, would be redeployed away from Earth under false pretenses. The UNSC was lucky as hell to have had the Master Chief return to assist in ground ops when he did.
