In Response To: Re: this (Stephen L. (SoundEffect)) : The Master Chief's first encounter with an Elite was on Gamma Station during : the fall or Reach. That was 2-3 weeks prior to the events of Halo 1. (and : most of the intervening time was Slipspace travel between). : The games take place after the fall of Reach, so yes, Elites are prevalent in : the games. No Brutes though because they were introduced as the Honor : Guard for Prophets and high security facilities like the Unyielding : Hierophant, which explains their absence in Halo 1. : The Elites weren't 'all over' Reach, no. OK but when did it say the Elites were first encountered? : It was best described in the beginning of The Flood novel. I'll quote a small : passage: "However, none of these things were at the forefront of : Ship Master Orna ’Fulsamee’s mind as he stood at the center of his : destroyer’s control room and stared at the data projections which appeared : to float in front of him. One showed the ring world, Halo. Near that, a : tiny arrow tracked the interloper’s course. The second projection : displayed a schematic titled HUMAN ATTACK SHIP, TYPE C-11. A third : scrolled a constant flow of targeting data and sensor readouts. : He fought a moment of revulsion. That these filthy primates somehow merited : an actual name—let alone names for their inferior constructs—galled him to : his core. It was perverse. Names implied legitimacy, and the vermin : deserved only extermination. The humans had “names” for his own : kind—“Elites”—as well as the lesser races of the Covenant: “Jackals,” : “Grunts,” “Hunters.” The appalling temerity of the filthy creatures, that : they would dare name his people with their harsh, barbaric tongue, was : beyond the pale. He paused, and regained his composure." : This was some of the justification that Elites hadn't been seen prior to : Reach. Humans were vermin to be ground under, not really true : lifeforms...certainly not personally worthy of the attention of an : honorable race such as the Sangheili. : I can see the Elites (as the military arm of the Covenant) using the Grunts : and Jackals as ground teams (as we witnessed in The Fall of Reach) both on : Lambda Serpentis and Sigma Octanus. : I see that the rise of the "Demons" in more and more successful : ground engagements (and in fact having killed perhaps the first : human-encountered Hunters on Sigma Octanus) made the stakes high enough to : warrant the inclusion of Elite ground commanders at Reach, and of course : something more highly prized, the Halo ring. : This is extrapolation on what we were given in the first two novels and the : first game. but then why were they all over in Halo 2?
