Additional Speculation
Posted By: Desio <ESRAU@excite.com>Date: 12/29/99 8:18 a.m.

In Response To: Simulation/plot speculation (Forensic)

Halo could have been in L1 and had some system to hold it stable, maybe this failed leaving Halo in a unstable position, and you arrive a few months(?) before it is going to collide. The covenant sees that it will crash so they devote most of their resources to fixing it, that way you get a chance to regroup your troops without being crushed by the covenant (as you probably would be if they threw their entire force ar you). Without some reason for the covenant to concetrate on something else your little band would be doomed, being spread out across halo, but with some time to organize you would have a chance. I think that solves an important plot problem. Plus since the covenant has to fix the ring it wouldn't be a time limit for you so you could go on your sweet way while they had to do the dirty work. This might also be an argument against cheating since if you killed of too many covenant troops right away they might not be able to fix the ring...
