Covenant asylum seekers
Haven't seen this topic brought up, I thought it was pretty interesting. In the Spartan Ops episode 'Departure,' one of the Majestic Spartans talks about Covenant asylum seekers in Rio; he mentions a Sangheili terrorist who tried planting a bomb too.
Pretty interesting that Earth's allowing Covenant species asylum - probably away from the persecution of the fanatical Storm. Whilst I'm sure most of them are unggoy, kig-yar and so on, the fact that a Sangheili was able to operate as a terrorist in Rio implies that enough of them are there that his presence wasn't out of the ordinary.
I wonder if this has been going on for years, or if it's just been since the New Phoenix incident. Maybe some of the Storm wanted to get out, seeing what the Didact was prepared to do.
Makes me wonder where the Arbiter is in all of this; if the Covenant's having to flee their home planets and colonies to get away from the Storm, they can't be too politically stable.
Could be that he's on Earth as well.

If there is anything that the Sangheili hate more than Thel or Humans, it's Spartans.[/quote] I would have thought it would be brutes. There's been many occasions where the Spartans gained the Elites respect. One example in GoO where Will punches a whole through a hunter and it gains the Elite in command's admiration. They only hated Spartans because they were successful in their missions, as they where the enemy of the covenant and because they were hard to kill.[/quote] That was before 343i and Traviss altered their character though. The Elites don't really care about Brutes; they are fine to them really. They hate Spartans though; they are still referred to in a manner of derogatory slurs such as Demon despite the religious reasoning being moot. All these instances of Elites ever respecting, admiring or sympathizing with Spartans.Humanity are to be taken as "extreme minorities", as insipiently stupid and condescending to the intellect as that is. Thel even being associated with the Master Chief would most likely fatally undermine his position in the newer canon setting. There is no duo.
