:It seems like the major assumption you're making is that the memorial was set up as soon as they arrived. That isn't neccessarily the case - memorials can be raised months, years, or decades after the war's end. Presumably, the UNSC and Sangheili would have to make sure the Covenant weren't sending more troops before they declared the war over, and the memorial itself would need time to be set up.

:I always got the impression that the time between entering and exiting the portal was virtually instantaneous. Of course, the Covenant would need time to establish themselves into defensible positions, and capture the ground sites they're repulsed from, but the Prophet of Truth was already at the Control Room when the combined fleet arrived. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]]</b> - <i><b><u>[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]</u></b></i> 07:07, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

::Truth entered the Portal only a few hours before the combined fleet, so naturally he'd arrive to the Ark only a few hours before them. But it is possible that the memorial was planned longer, so we can't really say for sure. Didn't really think about that. But I still doubt the Portal transition would be instanteneous; the distance is so vast even with Forerunner slipspace tech, it would take some time. Even the Dreadnought took five days to reach Sol from Delta Halo. And this distance is a lot bigger. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] ([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]]) 07:17, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
