:::::From what's been released so far, it certainly looks like Sentzke is relying on the ''Pious Inquisitor'' alone. There's several options: A: he tries to attack Earth and gets turned into Swiss cheese by ''Infinity'' and the surviving ODPs (turns out, he knew this would happen - going out in a suicidal blaze is the only way he can get closure for his lifelong torment), or B: the narrative grants the ''Inquisitor'' insane hax powers and Earth is powerless or C: Kilo-Five and Naomi intervene before he can do anything and dramatic character moments ensue. Whether he gets to Earth or not, I'm putting my money on the narrative operating under the presumption of option B; i.e. that the ''Inquisitor'' is going to be treated as a credible threat to Earth as opposed to target practice for ''Infinity''. The way these books have treated technological capabilities and military strength so far has largely been "whatever the plot demands", so I wouldn't rely on logic or consistency in that area. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:49, 20 January 2014 (EST)

::::::My guess is he needs a Covenant slipspace drive for its precision - even an ODP can't hit a ship if it's already in place, weapons primed, ready to drop hell if anything happens. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 03:02, 20 January 2014 (EST)
