Well Neutrino, do you have a real valid argument that gives the UNSC or Covenant a reason to be in the new trilogy? The books are set up to tell their story and the games are about Chief's destiny in fulfilling Mendicant Bias' atonement for his sins.
Nice try, very nice. But the rejection of a claim does not necessitate that I substitute my own.
In other words, "I can't".
Maybe I can or maybe I can't but, for example, if you lost your shoes and someone said that a jelly baby monster stole them you would not be expected to first explain their disappearance before rejecting such a ridiculous proposal so don't act smart.
However:
The lesser factions, Grunts, Jackals, Hunters, and Drones never cared much for the Great Journey and went their separate ways.
I was not under the impression that the Great Journey was their only motivation in life, especially after the Covenant era. It must be wonderful to live a life with no political or economic concerns, no need to expand you territory and acquire new resources or to make alliances in case your race is ever threatened. Look, these are independent civilizations now. They are going to be wanting to do their own things now - malignant or benign, we cannot be sure of.
The Prophets are a dying race of barely 1000
What are they doing though? They are the most knowledgeable about Forerunner technology. Do they harbor resentment, or what? We don't know.
As for the UNSC/Sangheili, I believe I already stated something on page 10:
Or the UNSC and certain Covenant races, most likely the Sangheili for instance, could pool their resources and capabilities in order to recover much faster? The way I see it is that the UNSC is in dire need of short term support, whilst the Sangheili are in need of more long term support. Combining their efforts and giving each other what the other does not have would work. There are ways for things to happen.
Not so much of a long shot with all things considered, and magic is not needed.
