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] Blowing up Halo was where the moniker demon came in. Chief wouldn't sit well with the Storm. I'd wager the Elite bomber got the HAVOK nuke from some Jackal piracy ring. Though rare, it's not hard to believe they could capture a ship with a nuke, or otherwise find a derelict from the war that still has one onboard. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] trojanlord95 The fact that 343 even thought it was reasonable to use a Sangheili as a representation of terrorism as an ordinary occurrence really shows how much they despise the old canon of elites being bound by an honour code.[/quote] Or it shows the Elites' degredation as a result of constant war.[/quote] "Death before dishonour" terrorism is one of the worst offences that can be committed in Sangheili society.
