In the Thursday War, its stated that huragok(Engineers) are on the Infinity, and are responsible for a lot of the advancements they have. Where are they in Halo 4?
I may be answering my own question here, but maybe in the 3rd book in the trilogy, something happens to the huragok, killing them?

I think after the incident with Jul and that engineer, I don't think the humans are trusting the huragok that much anymore. They probably keep them away the action and just have them improving UNSC vessels, weapons, etc. Especially, since the appearance of a Forerunner, something they have been waiting for awhile.

I don't know whaere they could've gone off to, but there is still the chance we see them alter on in Spartan Ops, we've only seen five episodes out of much more.

They don't need to code AI or anything like that, they're just models. If Huragok were on Infinity and mattered to the plot we'd see them in the CGI, helping Halsey. The fact that they risk bringing Halsey to a Forerunner planet full of unknown dangers and hostiles attests to their desperation - they don't have the Huragok to work magic with the Forerunner technology, so they turn to Halsey instead.

I think we'll eventually see them. It's just a matter of time. The game's only a month old after all.

Although with the size of Infinity, the Huragok on board are probably constantly on task with maintenance, the amount of people on board using communication equipment, running the engines, servicing thousands of vehicles and millions of weapons.

I'm guessing they leave at some point between TTW and H4, to the same place as the Sangheilis' Huragok.
