Subject: where did the covenant come from?

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

if the halo(s) were/was said to be activated 100,000 years ago, how the hell did the covies survive it. no way could they have evolved into sentient beings in only 100,000 years (non-sentient not affected by halos.)

discuss!

Who says they did? The covenant isn't as far evolved as we are, they just happened to be on a planet that was inhabited by Forerunners.

the covenant are races that orginally lived very far away, probably to far away for the halos to take effect. and the prophets DID evolve over 100,000 years. that's why they are so weak. they haven't evolved well enough.

I am...whimsical today.

Not really relevant, but I thought it sounded interesting:

'The facial characteristics of modern man are about 100,000 years old.'


'Hadn't evolved well enough' doesnt really work :)
Everything is adapted to its particular neich in the environment. What you mean to say is: 'Not suited to their current role'. I imagine the Prophets were suitably evolved to survive on their homeworld and use Forerunner technology.
