Dark Jester 86 is the Gamer tag.

My theories:

1.Maybe they are trying to get the humans to surrender and abduct our race into slavery like the Jackals, Hunters, and Grunts. I don't know about Drones... they were probably enslaved too.

2.Or the Prophets want all the Forerunner technology for themselves so they're killing off humans to get it.

3.Perhaps it's a display of power.

4. We're to sexy to live.

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy lasers, and the hogs were indestructible!

Right Prophets are the only ones who can read the Forerunner language, they know that humans are the forerunners, what do you think would happen if the prophets told the Covenant that the species they had been worshiping was mankind... their civilisation would fall apart.

Also the prophets don't want the humans to find out otherwise they may find a way of altering the rings to kill the covenant.

I was talking Halo with a buddy and he asked a killer question...
Why do the prophets not allow humans an opportunity to join the Covenant. Why do they seemingly insist on killing the humans? Any imput would be appreciated...

It's not too known, but in the book Fall of Reach, the destroyer group sent to investigate Harvest just got a transmission from the Covenant when they first saw them saying they were an affront to the gods, and the covenant were their tool or some stuff like that... then opened fire and immediately destroyed most of the destroyer group.


'Your destruction is the will of the Gods, and we are their instrument'

Then they blew up the fleet.

Thats basically what started it.

Humanity has made earth its home, earth is more than likely the location of the Ark, the Covenant believe the Ark to be a Holy Relic, problem solved


The Covenant didn't know that humanity was on earth before Halo 2 so it is more like they just were offended by the way we smelled and called us affronts to their gods and attacked us

Homerun!

Here is my theory. It is pretty long, so you dont have to read EVERYTHING, but plz read the covenant part.

The ark, forerunners and the halos

The forrunners was humans. And in theese times the humans was very intelligent, and was discovering the galaxy. Then they found some creature out in the gallaxy. The creature seems to be some kind of parasite, and the forrunners (or if I should call them humans) started to build some vast ring structures, a bit everywhere in the galaxy. The rings was made for two things: research and destroy the flood. They knew how dangerous the flood was, and they also knew the only way to kill it, starve it, so theese rings didn't kill flood, it
killed all life wich could be eaten by flood. But offcourse they wanted to survive this danger, so they too builded a structure, an ark, where they could protect some of the most important people. The ark was placed on Earth. The humans activated the rings from this ark, and the most of the humans died.

(The following part is something I just got on my mind. So really I'm not the leastest sure this is true. I don't really think it's true my self, but I wrote it anyway.) Then, when it was done, they wrote a book where they could hide secret messages. The book is what we today call the bible. In here they wrote about this ark and how it was used and it's purpose. But hey wrote it in a secret way to hide it a bit, so no one, except those who really knew what they were looking for, could interpret it. It actually makes pretty much sense. Noah built an ark to defend him self, his wife, and some animals from the flood. The ark is the
only safe place. Then when its all over they can walk out and keep on living. Anyway the years went by and the humans forgot about everything. Everything they earlyer had known got lost and they started to evolve once again.

The covenant

Some years after all that, some creatures called prophets got to know of all this. Since the prophets was very cleaver they learned everything without bigger problems. They understod that if they would find the ark they would be able to destroy all life except themselfes. And then they could rule the universe through all time. The prophets also learned the technique of the forerunners. The foreruner technique was very intelligent, and with the help from it they managed to make peace with an old enemy to them, called sangelli. Together they made an alliance. The alliance was called covenant. The prophets never told the sangelli of
what they knew, and they still hasn't. Instead they told them that the halos was sacred rings that, if activated, would bless the people who had activated it with all of it's power. The sangelli fell for the trick and helped the prophets find the sacred rings. As the years passed by, more races joined the covenant, and all of them got tricked by the prophets. In many years the covenant searched for the halos, but never found them.

One day the covenant found a collonie from an other race who seemed to be intelligent. I don't know how, but the covenant knew or found out that this race was the newer form of the forerunner. The prophets knew that this race, wich was the humans, would be in their way for their masterous plan. So then they told the rest of the covenant that this race was evil
and had to be destroyed.
As usual the other races fell for the trick, and destroyed the collonie. When the humans lost thier contact with the collonie they sended a group of destroyers to check it out. The covenant destroyed this ones too, but this time the humans got to know what really happened. The war between
covenant and humans got into it's work very fast. And it last in many years.
