...and a few more...

In Response To: Other Answers (DHalo)


: *Spoilers inside*

: "Considerable Time" is too broad to pinpoint. My guess is that
: they'll reveal this somehow, but they haven't fully yet.

: The "other construct" would be Mendicant Bias, the AI from the
: terminals (Legendary Difficulty) and from Iris. Go to
: http://halo.wikia.org and search for Terminals, read them all, then read
: Mendicant Bias' page for more back story about him. Basically in Contact
: Harvest *SPLZ ALERT* Mendicant Bias is considered an Oracle by the
: Covenant, who resides (and was discovered in) the Dreadnought. Mendicant
: Bias tried to launch the Dreadnought to save the humans and bring them
: safely to the Ark, but launching it would tear High Charity from its power
: source, so they disconnected MB from the Dreadnought. My guess is that
: they reconnected MB so that they might go to the Ark to activate the
: Halos, and MB fought Cortana, because it WANTED to go to the Ark, and
: would let nothing stop him.

This is what I figured after reading Contact Harvest.

And for Regret's premature departure, I think it was just his impatience, and this turned out to be quite good for humanity, since if the Covenant had waited for a bigger fleet, then humanity would have had a far harder time in Halo 2, and none of the Delta Halo events would have happened.

As for humannity's inhabitance of Earth, and the Covenant not expecting it...well I doubt they expected every place they went where there was forerunner technology (like the Ark) there would be humans...since the forerunner's reach was far more than our's.
