Subject: What if the three prophets never rose to power in contact harvest ?

Would the old Prophets let us join the Covenant ? Or would they destroy us if they found out that we were the Reclaimers ? Or maybe they let us join the Covenant, what do you guys think would happen ?

No matter how they reacted to us, I don't think humanity would sing kumbaya and join them. The only reason they Allied with the separatists is because they realized after 28 years of war how easily the Covenant could exterminate the them (Human race)

Nah. It didn't matter who was in charge.

The fact that humanity a) exists and b) is identified by all the borrowed Forerunner tech the Covenant uses as "Reclaimers" i.e. leftovers from the time of their god-like Forerunners, is a physical, factual, obvious contradiction of their religion. So cover it up, get rid of the evidence.

Contact Harvest revealed why the Covies were declaring jihad against us.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Mendicant Bias would have reactivated the Keyship, destroyed High Charity and approach humanity to take them to the Ark. The Covenant would be in ruins and the war would likely have been a lot less deadly for humanity.

Would be a considerably less hostile situation.

Kinda like what would have happened if Adolf Hitler was assassinated at any point in WWII. One of his inner circle would have taken over and would have made better decisions (not necessarily "good" ones. I mean things like truces, negotiation, secrecy, etc.).
