In Response To: Story Shenanigans (Cody Miller) : Okay. There are still a few things that are bugging me about the Halo story : ark . I will confess that I have not yet finished contact harvest, or : fully analyzed all the terminals, so if it's answered there, then just let : me know without spoiling it. : Regret's premature arival: First of all, why was this "premature"? : Why was it that Truth had to wait before going to Earth? Why did the : Covenant not expect humans on Earth? It seemed strange then, but even : stranger now. Regret went before Truth gave him the go-ahead. Truth may have been perfectly ready to go, but he hadn't gone yet and nor had he told Regret to go (as far as we know). As for the Covenant not expecting humans to be on Earth, you should consider this: The Covenant as an alliance of multiple species is at least 410 (though probably closer to 1000) years old, and the prophets have been spacefaring for more than three millennia. Their first contact with humans was less than 28 years before the events of Halo 2. After thousands of years of exploring space, and finding innumerable forerunner artifacts, it seems reasonable that the Covenant would not expect to find humans in every system explored after 2525, even those known to contain significant forerunner artifacts. : The Covenant Construct: What was the covenant construct Cortana mentions in : High Charity? It was "fighting back" and "unusually : formidable". She specifically says it's a covenant construct. So… : what was it? As others have stated (CH Spoilers), the construct is the forerunner AI (Oracle for the Covenant) which occupies the Dreadnaught. : Last time you asked me: What am I supposed to make of 343GS's speech on Two : betrayals, when he tells the MC (or Cortana as some people think): : "Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having : considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed." Annoyingly enough, this is the only question I had at the end of Halo 1, and was the #1 question I wanted to be answered in Halo 3. :(
