In Response To: HOW IS CHIEF GOING TO SAFE THE EARTH ? (nukedude) : Does anyone have any Ideas ? Hey, I was just going to post something on this! ;) I'm trying to decide how this salvation could come about, given that once the Covenant arrive, one would think they would be throwing EVERYTHING they have at Earth, with little chance of reprieve. I made up a little list exploring a few ideas; mix and match elements ;) 1) The Human fleets manage to repel the Covenant. Not bloody likely. 2) The Human fleets, with Cortana playing electronic havoc or turning their own ships against them, manage to repel the Covenant. Maybe, though still unlikely. 3) The Index comes into play. Perhaps as a bargaining chip, perhaps used to threaten the Covenant leadership (we do also know that another Halo is involved in the story). 4) Another Halo comes into the mix as, again, a bargaining tool, or perhaps going along with the Island 4 philosophies, these older less advanced Halos would not kill all life in a radius but be more precise, allowing it to be used in more of a Starhammer-esque manner against the Covenant. 5) The Covenant are distracted and leave, perhaps as a result of Guilty Spark activating another Halo somewhere (or something involving 343), or a Flood outbreak somewhere else. 6)It turns out that the Prophets, knowing that Humanity is the last remnant of the Forerunner and that this discovery would eliminate their power, have proclaimed this war as a cover up. The Covenant ranks discover this truth (Humanity=Forerunner) and call the whole thing off. 7) The Sleeping God (or some other Forerunner relic(s) on Earth or the Moon) awakes and kicks butt/scares the Covenant off. Though as the Count pointed out, who says it will be saved anyway... Finn |
