And pondering the Covenant's zeal and dedication...

Was the purpose of the raid on Sigma Octanus specifically to try and find out the location of Halo? Seeing as Cortana used the signal encoded in the crystal to find it, the Covenant probably could have had the same use for that information, i.e. finally pinning down the location of Halo.

If there are other Halos out there, that leaves a lot of room for plenty of sequels, since the Covenant are probably trying to find those as well. Or would it even matter? The Covenant thought they could use Halo as a weapon in their holy war, but maybe that was before they knew it destroys all sentient life.

Are they fervent enough in their beliefs that they'd be willing to sacrifice themselves to destroy humans?

What? Who dares to question the Covenant's resolve? ;)

An excellent query. We may be in for quite a wait for a definitive answer though. Halo 2 does promise an explanation of the Covenant's hidden motives but... ::sigh:: Only a year to go.
