I honestly think that the elites and flood will play a role in saving the day. The Elites, grunts, and hunters, are in civil war with the prophets, brutes, drones and Jackals. Essentially, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Elites were lied to and betrayed by the prophets and the prohets were the ones leading the war against the humans. The flood already helped widdle away the Covies cuz they took over High Charity, giving the covenant a staging area for expansion. Because really, the Rings were prisons. No way off.. In the books and the games, the flood tried as they could to get off the rings. So that means the covenant will not have to fight against flood infested covie ships, further whittling them down. Together with MC, they'll destroy the prophets and the flood and bring in the dawn of a new age.. a peace and potential alliance with an Elite/Human Lead Covenant.... that'd be nice... though they may be locked in a losing war of attrition with the flood. Or who knows..? the survivors activate the arc and then try to flee.. though that seems highly doubtful they could escape. Looks kinda bleak doesn't it?
