Could be they didn't realise that humans were the only ones capable of freely activating the Halos plus they didn't have the index, In halo wars the prophet of regret only had small trouble activating the forerunner tech and only used a human then because it would be quicker.
And Halo 1 was the first time the covies tried activating a Halo ring, something the prophets, who boss all other races around, knew required the touch of a human. The humans were just successful in reclaiming the Cpt & Co. and proceed to the control room themselves before any elites or what not could. The prophets called all things human heresy but at the end of the day, they know they need them, so they'll just as easily order a squad to capture a few.

He used Anderson because he HAD to. Only a "reclaimer" can activate the rings and other Forerunner constructs. "Reclaimer" is a category none of the Covenant races have ever fallen under.

What the fuck did you just say, I don't even...

that station hovering in the gas planet's atmosphere was a Forerunner facility...so uh, what does that have to do with elites and "double either" sided doors?
