Hello everyone, i am sorry if this topic has been talked of before, but it has bothered me for hours now so I must know. Yesterday I completed Halo 2 again for the first time in many years, and it was awesome but one thing I do not understand. And spoilers occur, for those who haven't played the story.
Prohet have the index and they can activate the ring which will begin the great jorney, but instead of doing this, he leaves it to Tartarus and sets of to earth to "finish what we started". Why? If the can begin the great jorney here, why would the bother with the ark, which was plan b after first Halo, as Delta Halo was found my chance. So .. how does that make sense?
So what did I miss? An answer is appriciated!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] II gaped II the prophet needed to escape to safety threw the ark, isn't that why he left it to tartarus to activate it?[/quote]That's what I think, he knew there was no Great Journey right at the end. Plus he didn't want MC as his lackey, too dangerous so he decided on what he perceived to be the weakest link.

Master Chief is in Armour anyway so it's not like he made any contact with his DNA to the activator. Not to mention he's been genetically enhanced. That wouldn't make sense if that is true.[/quote]It would due to the fact they weren't trying to get Master Chief to do it. They were getting Miranda Keyes/Johnson to do it.

Perhaps the Prophet knew of the Ark and knew it would be a safe haven so when the rings were activated, they would survive and rule the Galaxy? Prophets WERE masters of manipulation.

In the Limited Edition of Halo 2, there is a booklet called "conversations of the universe." In it, there is a dialogue of two elites asking each other the same question.[i] "Why bother with the humans? And why not accept them into the Covenant?" [/i] The truth is, Truth is corrupt and there really is not a stern answer that anyone knows of.
