With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.
First of all, I asked what you hoped happened to it, not what probably happened to it.
And maybe the Covenant didn't know it was a bomb... The Engineers are smart and not racist, so they don't think our tech is "filthy," and would analyze it without thought, so they might find out what it is, and disarm it. But we don't know if the Covenant were ever familiar with what Nukes actually were (they've probalby seen them go off, but maybe not the bomb itself)... they might just think its a small, quirky fusion reactor.
And sure, they have means of killing planets, but their means is nowhere near as efficient as a single bomb. They have to use volley after volley of plasma torpedoes, which, as Cortana said, uses a lot of energy.
Just my thoughts.
