Re: Who ELSE wears a Halo?

In Response To: Who ELSE wears a Halo? (Wavehawk)

: ET (Eric Trautmann) had this bit to say on the interview: >>the correct
: answer to the question will provide the context.
: >>Furthermore, one forumgoer stumbled across the correct answer,
: >>but failed to realize it. I say no more.

: Okay, it's been established that he's (most likely) talking about the
: Profits--er, I mean Prophets. But right now (again, have not picked up
: First Strike yet), I don't quite see the exact inference or context. Is it
: a device? Is it really a holy instrument? Or is it just some fancy
: hologram the Prophets use to look holier-than-thou?

: Plus, do Brutes have the same such Halo? And if the Elites are one of the
: 'original founding races of the Covenant', why don't they possess it? Not
: to mention that Elites apparently live in fear and quiet resentment of the
: Prophets (the way I read The Flood).

: That prompted me to wonder: Who else wears a Halo? Angels? Apostles? Saints?

: ...Martyrs?

: Off-Topic Anecdote: Some Modern-Day Special Forces do parachute jumps from
: high altitudes. This is called High-Altitude/Low Opening....H.A.L.O.
: jumping. Also, they call every thousand feet of free fall an
: "Angel". Thus, a H.A.L.O. jump takes place a 20 Angels.

Hehe, in First Strike, a prophet and brute talk.. In English. Makes you wonder. :)

Though I'm sure it was just in context for the book, so we could understand, but... Eric Nylund never implied this.
