That's a very nice point you've brought up. Simply not knowing that anyone survived... and depending how well humans managed to lay low, it might be a bit before the Covenant realizes the differences between one of their patrols being lost to a small group of marines instead of being lost to whatever defenses the structures on the Halo might inately have.

"The distinctive humming sound of the skimmer filled the night sky once more. Instinctively we ducked down and hid in the brush. Originally we took it to be one of the bug's surveilance drones. But after that first incident we witnessed, even the bugs now stay low when it's about, the Covenant fliers making sure to stay out of its sensor range."
