Just asking, I don't really want to have a poll just cause'. Do you guys think that the humans will become part of the covenant. I mean Bungie hasn't exactly specified how the covenant was formed and I am pretty sure that Jackals, Grunts, Elites, Brutes, Hunters, Prophets, Drones, and Engineers didn't originate on the same planet. They probably had to go through what humans went through then faced either becoming eradicated or joining with the covenant army. But that still leaves a question, who is the ultimate conquerors, I'm thinking Forerunners, but they gradually faded away after the first covenant government was formed. That also means that the cov. is ancient because forerunners are mythological to the covenant. My main question is, will humans become a section of the covenant to survive?
It has been explained between the games, instruction manuals, and books that the covenant began with an alliance between the elites and prophets. From there, they began to conquer other alien races and assimilated them into the covenant after beating them...so that's how the covenant was formed. Next, the covenant found forerunner artifacts and began using the technology that was contained within those artifacts. The forerunners are mythical to the covenant because they admire this "ancient" civilization that was so advanced. They have never met the forerunners. Finally, if the covenant was going to add the humans to their army, they would have already. It was stated in a conversation between two elites. The elites wondered why we hadn't been offered a position within the covenant, but it was stated that the prophets believe humans to be a disgrace to their "forerunner gods" and we must be exterminated.
