Considering that ODST took place before the prothet of truth even went looking for the portal please explain to be how a entire city if not country infested with elites suddenly had only 4 dead elites and with brutes in charge of everything.
The ship that jumped was the same one shown in halo 2.
Also, i would consider the elites more trust worthy, the prothets didn't even have a decent reason to demote the elites untill regret died.
