: The problem is that the Covenant had evidently been studying Humanity for
: some time, at least to judge by the fact that they were a) able to start
: hunting down our colonies, possibly through study of any databases which
: may have been captured on Harvest, and b) were able to speak to the task
: force led by the Heracles in English or whatever standard language there
: is.
: At the same time, we've been sitting on artifacts, such as the rock on Sigma
: Octanus IV, for gods know how long, or the data Cortana accessed from the
: UNS astronomy databases... and yet somehow they didn't know about Alien
: life out there? I'd expect the colonists to have explored that grotto
: which was annihilated during the invasion at some point.
They had, and they kept samples of the "interesting" geologic formations that they'd found in the museum in Cote d'Azur.
: And those ONI types never seemed to be warm-fuzzy types either, to judge by
: the fact that they funded Doctor Halsey's project and cooperated with the
: kidnapping and flash-cloning of innocent children.
: I wouldn't be surprised if ONI had provoked the Covenant war by accident,
: during an attempt to steal technology. :D
: True - though her previous self-defined orders to protect John, and also the
: previous 'Priority Alpha' to accomplish the mission, which ends up being
: 'protect humanity by doing missions X,Y,Z' are still in effect. The order
: Keyes gave is complimentary to their primary mission, and as I stated
: before, Cortana seems quite willing to sacrifice others if it means both
: she and the Chief get back to Earth to make sure they're warned of the
: failure of the Pillar of Autumn mission and also the Covenant threat...
: along with the Flood.
Has that mission failed? The PoA might be gone, but the MC is nothing if not determined, right?
