Why High Charity Can't Go to the Ark

“Diameter: 216 miles (348km)”
-Page 93, High Charity, Halo EVG[/u]
[b][u]Math:[/u][/b]
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.

Diameter of a portal at 60% cpacity = 72.79 Finding 100% of capacity (x) 60/100 x 72.79/x 60x = 7279 x = 7279/60 100% capacity is x = 121.32 miles. There you have it. Portal won't fit High Charity. High Charity is too much of a man for Forerunner constructions. Sorry if confusing as shit, but these are all rough and quickly done, but I went over it, and that's what you get. CONFIRMED: High Charity is BBC of Haloverse. Edit- My slashes are division. Sorry for mathematical shenanigans. I base 60% based off of how wide the "wings" of the portal are opened at the time. They are opened up a little over halfway before they hit solid ground. Taking this rough guesstimate, I did the math up above and got my answer. Even if they were opened up at 55% it still wouldn't be enough. The remaining space for the wings to move allowing the growth of the portal wouldn't be enough. So, we have two canon explanations now. Bungie dun goofed and, High Charity is monster cock ramming tight Forerunner hole.
