y'know what...I just got an idea. it may not be too plausible, but hey, it's a start...
what if the covenant trying to take earth is just a distraction? like, maybe it's to keep the humans at bay while another large strike team goes in search of other Halos, so they can activate them and wipe us out in the process. It would make a lot of sense...One of them activate a Halo, and then when they do they broadcast it to the invasion team on earth. The earth invasion team packs up and goes...and humanity thinks they've won. (This also could explain why the Covenant didn't sent all they had against earth...if a signal didn't get out and the Covies were caught in the pulse of the weapon, the losses wouldn't be super duper great. Then again, maybe the invasion force isn't that big because MC and his buddies kinda wiped out 500 Covie ships...) They most likely woud'nt have the resources to chase the Covies around, nor would they really want to. Humanity sits around and rebuilds...and then BAM! Life is gone. The only downfall to this plan would be that if they activated a Halo that was pretty far away from earth, they'd most likely be out of that quadrant of the galaxy before the blast hit it.
oh, yeah, and to answer a question put here before...a light year is around 10-15 trillion miles (I can't remember the exact number), and scientists have already experimented with a laser that is faster that light (it was clocked as so fast that it exited the test chamber before it even finished entering).
so there ya go
...BOOBIES!!!
