Start:
1/X = 117/348
Cross Multiply:
117X = 348
Divide by 117:
117X/117 = 348/117
Simplify and Finish:
X = 2.97
[b][u]Conclusion:[/u][/b]
Based on the math equation, if we round up, we can say that the portal to the Ark is ⅓ the diameter of High Charity’s diameter. There has yet been an instance in Halo’s canon where a Forerunner slipspace portal has allowed an object larger than it to pass through it. Therefore, we can not make an accurate inference/suggestion/conclusion that objects larger than a Forerunner portal can travel through it. If such a conclusion is made anyway, then an answer needs to exist as to why the Forerunners waste energy on opening portals larger than the object that is passing through it. (See: Halo 4) This irrefutably means that it is implausible for High Charity to have used the portal at Voi to travel to the Ark.

[i]*The Halo EVG page titled “Portal at Voi” states it is referring directly to the slipspace portal, and not the machine generating it.

Edited by Fallen Hero: 4/7/2014 12:27:34 AMThe portal is essentially a white girl's booty and High Charity is a BBC. There was quite a bit of stretching going on there. #There'sNoGoingBackOnceYouGoBlack
