| It seems more like a wormhole to me. You can't get out of the milky way that fast through subspace. Besides, all the subspace rips we have seen so far have a ''white'' center. Not a black one. In addition, a wormhole can be entered from any direction, just like in the cutscene. A subspace rip can be entered from only one direction. --[[User:XSuperGamer|<span style="color:#FFD700">'''''X'''''</span><span style="color:#FF7518">'''''Super'''''</span><span style="color:#CE0000">'''''Gamer'''''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:XSuperGamer|<span style="color:#303030">'''''Talk'''''</span>]]</sup> 17:19, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

| :It only has an entrance, and exiting the thing looks the same as when dropping out of slipspace. It could be that it was designed by the Forerunners to propel any ships travelling through to high velocities. But even then they were in slipspace for almost a month before arriving at Installation 04.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 17:38, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

| Should we mention anything about the UNSC ''Rubicon'''s expidition to Installation 00? I dont see any other way for a UNSC ship to reach it without the portal.--[[User talk:Matt98|Matt98]] 13:09, 3 November 2012 (EDT)

| ::With slipspace drives improved by Huragok and incorporating Forerunner technology it would be possible to make the trip without a portal. It would definitely take a long time, months even, but it would still be possible. Although the portal remains the most probable option, we can't add this to the article unless we have some sort of official source stating that's how they got there.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">''' Rusty '''</span><span style="font-size:13pt;color:red;">'''- '''</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">'''112 '''</span>]] 13:36, 3 November 2012 (EDT)

| ==Let's deal with this==
| |
| A long time ago, a Jugusy fellow tagged this article with the rename template, saying it should be renamed "Portal at Voi". I too agree the page should be renamed, but I suggest that it should be called the "Portal at New Mombasa" or just "Portal at Mombasa". Why? Because the portal is clearly under New and Old Mombasa, not under Voi, which is mostly intact. Miranda Keyes also refers to the artifact as being in "the ruins of New Mombasa", not the ruins of Voi. End speech.

| :I put "Portal at Voi" in the tag because that's the main title given to the structure in ''The Essential Visual Guide''. In addition, ''From the Office of Dr. William Arthur Iqbal'' repeatedly calls it the "Excession at Voi". To be precise, most of the structure is located between the two cities, even though parts of it stretch underneath New Mombasa (though you're right in that the bulk of the disk would've been underneath the slums that make up Old Mombasa). As for Keyes' comment, her mentioning New Mombasa is most likely due to the simple fact most people are familiar with the name and can form a connection to ''Halo 2'' rather than being a specific statement about geography. --[[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> 16:04, 26 December 2012 (EST)

| :Hm, forgot about Evolutions. In that case, perhaps they call it "Portal at Voi" because Voi is the city you must pass through to reach it. I still say New Mombasa had a larger claim to the Portal's location, [[:File:Portal odst.png|as can be seen in this picture]], but officials are officials, so they decide the name.
