	::If the Covenant were facing another enemy we would have heard about it from the Arbiter by now. Also, I'm not at all annoyed with the collapse of the Covenant. Margaret and Serin make it clear what happened when they discuss how they need to order the Huragok not to improve anything without a direct order or supervision. The Covenant just let them wander around freely changing whatever they want. You wake up and suddenly all your furniture is anti-grav. You're not sure how it got that way, you don't really care, you move on. for 3,000 years they just let these guys aimlessly improve whatever they floated by. I see that causing major problems when suddenly you need to replace something but the last time you built it with your personal knowledge base was centuries ago.

			:::That is assuming the Huragok also performed all manual labor in Covenant industry, as opposed to sticking to the rare "innovation" and repairs to existing technology. For something as random as you described, you'd imagine the Covenant would be a technological and aesthetic mess, yet what we see is a very rigid consistency in their technology. This speaks of large-scale standardization and mass production as opposed to everything being accomplished through microscale tinkering solely by Huragok. Thus it's rather obvious that the Covenant had the capability to reproduce their technology through non-Huragok means, even if they didn't understand half the science involved. Although it bears noting that since the Kilo-Five series turned the Huragok from "good at fixing things" to technogods who can casually build anything anywhere out of nothing, very few things are actually certain. I also fail to see the logic in the Huragok simply disappearing from the hundreds of Sangheili-held ships still intact. How exactly did they "flee"? Did they hitch a ride out? Did they steal single ships? Did they teleport away? We may never know. --[[User:Jugus\|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus\|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] \| [[Special:Contributions/Jugus\|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 11:13, 25 February 2014 (EST)
