Anyone (who has read Halo: First Strike) wondering just exactly HOW the Covies have found Earth and had enough time to mobilize 500-some-odd ships for it's assault and invasion?

Or how they've created their own AI constructs? How Cortana finds the one on board the Unyielding Heirophant to be just a copy of a copy of who knows how many more (which hints towards the Covenant not CREATING one, but more or less SCAVENGING one and learning to copy it)?

Anyone think a particularly VITAL NAV base or entire SHIP was discovered?

or even.....





a traitor?

The crystal that the MC recoved had coordinates for earth, or something like that. It was kind of like a code and cortana cracked it i think i dunno for sure.

I think the AI that they scavenged was Wellesy, because even though the ship blew up. Some of his data might have survived. They learned the coordinates from Earth from a "relic" or something on Reach, or perhaps it was the walls inside of the old mine. You'll have to read it again.

Someone really needs to write a guide about the mysterys of the game and books. It gets confusing.

Well thats when the paragraph and chapter ends and it says "The Covenant are on there way to earth." Thats when Cortana figures out they knew.

Holy crap! do you just realize what you have pointed out? Basically the the Covenant are from the future. If in the first book Cortanna finds an AI that is a copy of a copy of a copy... but in the last book the copies of herself get into covant hands, are they the same covenant AIs?

21 is a factor of 7, you know.

Really, i'm not sure where the Bible story is @ HBO, but it didn't take me too long, look under tips n tricks (on the left menu) and work down from there.

@ tartarus:

Time travel as a story element has been discussed @ HBO, and is a very redundant and weak explanation for my thread. Good idea, though.....nontheless.....ick.

The Coordinates of Earth could have been found out on halo installation 04 from Guilty Spark 343... from all the inofrmation he has knowledge too it's not entirely impossible.
