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 this "faction" has grown large enough to overthrow Sanghelios and return things almost to the way they were so that people would have no where else to run except Human space if they disagreed, then that would mean that their power grew so incredibly fast that they must have something extremely persuasive on their side. What do we know of that would make this entire species yet again seek genocide of another? Well either they let everyone know about ONI's scheming, or they let everyone know about the Didact's anti-Human sentiment. In either case I don't see what reason a Sangheili would have to disagree. Disagreeing with the former would make them a traitor. I don't see them disagreeing with the latter either, or even caring about it enough to flee their homes. Abandoning their lifestyle and risking their lives and honour by fleeing just because they don't agree with a religious view and because Humans are going to get killed? I don't see Sangheili caring about that.

If he isn't still in power, then it is likely he was killed. --------------/ I have to wonder what has happened to the Great Schism. Evolutions made it clear that the Brutes and Prophets kept fighting the Elites furiously for years afterwards. The Brutes were receiving the services of the Prophets whilst the Elite's technology began to fail, ultimately resulting in them being pushed back. They only really survived because the Prophets vanished and the Brutes without cohesive leadership lost their focus on the Elites. It could be this that is causing the refugees. It would make a lot of sense and would fit with pre-established lore better than this Kilo-5 -blam!-, but it just seems unlikely that this "Storm" faction would be running around Forerunner ruins being obsessed with Humans whilst the Brutes and Prophets are burning their worlds to ash. However maybe Jul really is that -blam!-ing stupid.[/quote]you just brought something interesting, could it be that the elites are fleing from the prophets/brutes?
