Welllll, I was thinking and I'd completely forgotten that Church and Carolina went to go and deal with some "low level thugs" that had apparently got hold of some equipment leftover from Project Freelancer. From what we've seen, Locus' group (and perhaps Felix's group also) has obtained equipment possibly linked to Freelancer (cloaking, hardlight shield). So perhaps these "low level thugs" were Locus' group, and Carolina and Church went looking for them. However, from what we've seen of Locus' group, they seem pretty high grade. So perhaps Church and Carolina got more than they bargained for when they ran into Locus's group and found themselves captured. Although, if Chorus is apparently forgotten about by the UNSC and is on the edge of colonised space, that would beg the question as to how Locus' group got their hands on Freelancer gear.

This is where I begin to delve into the abyss of speculation/crackpot theories.

Crackpot theory No.1

Church and Carolina were captured by Locus' group shortly after leaving. This would explain how both groups on Chorus knew very specific details about the Reds and Blues. I know they're supposed to be well known heroes, but surely it would be impossible for Felix to have extensive knowledge of Wash's personality (paranoid, melodramatic) simply without talking to someone who knew them. So, it could also be a possibility that they are alligned with Felix's group instead (I am aware I'm just throwing random ideas around, but bear with me). But say they had been captured by Locus' group, and Locus used Church to run his armor enhancement. As we've seen, (Grif and super speed) armor enhancements don't always function correctly without an A.I., although there are major inconsistencies in this (Carolina). So, basically, Locus captured Carolina and Church and is using Church to his advantage, OR Felix's group is alligned with Church and Carolina, explaining their knowledge of Wash's personality. I am aware that the possibilities are endless, and I'm not saying that any of this is likely to happen, I'm just speculating.

Not so crackpot theory No. 2 (but still unlikely)

Locus and his group have captured Carolina and Church and attempt to use them as bargaining to convince the Reds and Blues to fight for them instead of Felix's group. Perhaps threatening to kill/delete them unless the Reds and Blues comply.

Idk, it sounded better in my head.
