In Response To: Thoughts and conclusions (dude1)

: Tablet 1: The elites originally used spears. Does that mean that the honor
: guard, being lancers, represent the longest warrior tradition in elite
: history? Good thing they were ousted, or else MC would’ve been speared’d
: like a fish the second he got in that council chamber.
: The prophets and elites actually engaged in melee combat. Freaky.
: The arbiter wasn’t alone in the taming, at least not for the cleanup
: operations; he’s got a buddy spearing corpses or POWs.
: The arbiters originally used spears, not swords. Totally old school.
Just wondering...but does this mean that projectile weapons don't exist in the Covenant, outside of Needlers? Perhaps, then, the Elites and Prophets, still with primitive technology levels, fought a war for supremacy. The Prophets discovered Forerunner tech and shifted the balance overwhelmingly in their favor. The physically stronger Elites had to yield, and so began the first joining of races that would become the Covenant we know. Could it be that they leapfrogged technologically and never personally developed any tech beyond hand-to-hand weapons before discovering Forerunner tech? (With Engineers intact, one would imagine)
: No engineers…because of their strange status, perhaps they’re considered too
: sacred to be pictoralized; they directly interact with forerunner tech,
: and have an intimate knowledge of its workings.
Or, they're not legitimately a part of the Covenant because they're holdovers from Forerunner days.
: Tablet 4: It seems the energy sword was forerunner tech; does this mean that
: (gasp) the covenant CHANGED the design to match an elite hand, or did the
: forerunners have a similar anatomy?
: -- dude1
Was it Boll who noted the six-fingered hand-reader on Halo 05? Pattern matches Elite hands, with the two thumbs bookending the fingers in-between.
Also, I'm wondering if the Hunters didn't have the armor before the Elites/Prophets arrived, but instead were clusters of worms that were more or less amorphous. Perhaps they could rise to become bipedal, but otherwise were earth-bound, and were thus subjugated. I can't recall if it was Grunts or Hunters who had an "uprising," but I wouldn't be surprised if Hunters were augmented with the armor, FRG, and Shields by the Covies and used their new-found power first to turn on their subjugators.
Just my pennies.
