I am you Super Phun Thyme!
Also I did notice that when you hide from their sight they start using a blue'ish beam on stuff. Maybe one should hide for a longer moment and then use the replay to what they're up to.
Based on the audio logs I get the feeling that the engineers where trying to help humans, but for some reason they were stopped.

It could represent the amount of active rings? After all, one of them were destroyed and were being rebuilt at the time, so there were only 6 active rings.
Also, there must be a reason why there are dead elites scattered over the map. Did they die for a cause? Maybe they tried to stop something, besides from the obvious struggle between the elites and the rest of the covenant. Maybe they tried to help the engineers? Or maybe they just wanted to whop some brute *ss.
There must be some reason why they added the engineers and why they are friendly.
Also, one thing that struck my mind, what about the smileyface in the top right corner of the load screen? It changes during the loading and is different between the levels. It could be a clue of some sort.
So you mean the henge was built AFTER Chief destroyed Installation 04? Nnno. I still doubt it.
And I'm pretty sure the elites were just fighting because the brutes had an order to eliminate them. Self-defence, ya know? But that some idea...
The engineers are friendly because
-they never wanted tobe part of covenant, they're just slaves
-Perhaps they regonize the humans as the Forerunners' chosen ones?
And the SI face idea may have something, butI doubt it's expressions are too important.
