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.

One wonders where the hell he got that from. [/quote] It is a good thing a significant faction of the human government is not supplying the elites with weapons. Oh, wait. If it turns out ONI slipped a terrorist a nuke in an attempt to incite humanity into war against the Elites/Storm/Neo-Covenant it would not surprise me in the least. I find the idea of asylum seekers to be okay. Glasslands shows that situations of Sanghelios is violent to say the least. One keep was bombed because they decided to destroy a Forerunner relic. It would be reasonable to assume that the Elites who didn't believe in the Forerunners or the human-sympathizers among the Elites decided to get off Sangheilios before they are the ones getting shot at. It would explain the lack of human-sympathizers in Glasslands: they all left the planet in search of somewhere where they won't have their keeps bombed.
