Halo is all about the reclamation of land from the Flood. That is surely why the Monitors refer to Humans as reclaimers? I know I have put a solid piece of evidence forward but I would now like to contradict it. Commander Keyes (daughter) looks like a human. Sgt Johnson looks like a human "careful this reclaimer is delicate"! Master Chief does not look like a Reclaimer so why is he immediately refered to as a reclaimer by 343 Guilty Spark? Halo is much deeper than the ideas and hypothesis that we we post on these forums. The Covenant is based upon their loyalty to a God - The Foreunners and there "divine beyond, the great journey". Guilty Spark must have knew that the Covenant were never instilled to reclaim anything. He must have known the appearance of each individual race in order to assume that the Master Chief was a "Reclaimer".
Bungie's error: Humans are indeed reclaimers as they inhabit Earth. The monitor of each of the seven known installations know this. There is no way that the Monitor could immediately know Master Chief was a reclaimer other than he is cyborg and human. Humans repopulated the Earth. The Covenant also have a lot to do with reclamation as well. They are trying or have found something of immense power and stature in correlation with there worship to the forerunner. The example I give now to promote my point is when we first encounter the floating mushroom or as some call it High Charity we are treated to the words on screen "Covenant Holy City, High Charity, Ninth age of Reclamation". Reclamation hang on it's the humans who are reclaimers so what is 9 millenia of reclamation got to do with the Covenant. Secrets are yet to be revealed.
