I liked this post waaaaaaay better. No sarcasm. One note: ONI has a lot of secret stuff. The "prowler" will be featured and explained in Waypoint fairly soon. The "eject" mechanism is, as far as canon is concerned more to do with Covenant reliance on a) Forerunner technology and b) the use of discrete, rather than distributed systems.
